Part secretary says the government must rethink its decision of allowing celebrations
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has demanded the cancellation of all programmes planned as part of New Year celebrations on Beach Road.
Party secretary, East, A. Anbalagan said it was not proper on the part of the government to allow New Year celebrations on Beach Road during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many States, including Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, are not allowing mass gatherings on New Year in the wake of Omicron threat. Tourists from these States are likely to throng Union Territory for celebrations, he said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
