Dindigul is a corporation merely in name and though various panchayat wards were incorporated to make the erstwhile municipality a corporation, this change merely remains on paper, charges K. Balabharathi, three-time CPI (M) MLA from Dindigul.
Pinpointing the failure of the previous AIADMK government for the problems that the corporation faces, she says the first step that the erstwhile government should have taken was demarcation of the fledgling corporation into various zones. “Only when this is done can administration and governance reach the people, as officials can visit each zone and reach out to them,” she says.
