What looked like a scene straight out of a comedy scene, a CPI(M) councillor claimed that a public toilet built during the AIADMK regime has been missing, during the Corporation council meeting held here on Tuesday.
The meeting was chaired by Mayor J. Ilamathi, Corporation Commissioner S. Sivasubramanian and Deputy Mayor S. Rajappa.
Holding a banner with a picture of a public toilet in it, he said funds to build one was allotted and the AIADMK Mayor claimed to have constructed one in his ward. “But no such structure can be found anywhere. I want the ones who built it to find it for me,” he said.
In retaliation, AIADMK councillor of ward 4 C. S. Rajmohan said the question must be posed to the officials who built it.
During the meeting, BJP councillor of ward 14 G. Dhanapal said shops and parking lots must be set up so as to not create hindrances to the devotees of Sri Kottai Mariamman Temple in Dindigul. He demanded to take steps to shift the compost yard functioning in ward 14 amidst a residential area. He also highlighted that emergency resolutions must be given to councillors a day in advance of convening the council meeting.
AIADMK councillor of ward 4 C. S. Rajmohan charged that the underground drainage system laying works are not undertaken in half of the wards and called for expediting the works.

A close look at the performance of the AIADMK, the principal Opposition party in Tamil Nadu, along with its ally, DMDK, in select 14 constituencies during the recent Lok Sabha election reveals that the Dravidian major, whose vote share was around 40% and more 10 years ago, is now a pale shadow of its original strength, if the current vote share is any indication.
