Shift poles
There are electric poles right in the middle of the stretch between Rajiv Nagar and Third Mile on the road that runs along Buckle Canal in Thoothukudi. Since it poses danger to vehicle users, TNEB should shift them immediately to prevent accidents.

Save native breeds
It is gladdening to hear that an aquarium is coming up in Tirunelveli, and that steps would be taken to protect “Loris” (thevangu). The Animal Welfare Minister has also said native breeds of bulls and cows would be protected. Though hybrid cow breeds give more milk, the bulls are unfit to pull carts or for ploughing. Rarely one sees native breeds such as Ottankalai and Kangeyam bulls these days, but for the jallikattu bulls.

No room for complacency till counting is completed, Chandrababu Naidu tells TDP-BJP-JSP contestants. The TDP-BJP-JSP alliance will register a comfortable victory in the general elections over the YSRCP, he says. Alleging that the YSRCP has conspired to create disturbances on the counting day, the TDP national president advises the chief counting agents and their teams to see to it that the officials adhere to norms related to counting.
