As in the last week’s meeting, the public grievance redress meeting held on Monday also saw a huge crowd of petitioners at Madurai Collectorate. This is the second meeting where physical presence of petitioners was allowed ever since COVID-19-induced lockdown came into effect.
District Revenue Officer G. Senthilkumari presided over the meeting and received petitions from the public. There were many differently abled petitioners, mostly seeking jobs or some form of employment for sustenance. A group of 17 differently abled villagers from Ayyankotttai Pudur near Vadipatti submitted a petition, saying they were left out of the 100-day job scheme under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
