At least six Municipal Corporations have not taken any action on a circular issued to check and certify the structural stability of buildings housing schools, colleges, universities, hospitals and other public offices across Tamil Nadu, the response to a query under the Right to Information Act, 2005, has revealed
Irked by the response of the Public Information Officers of the Municipal Corporations — Thoothukudi, Madurai, Tirunelveli, Erode, Tiruchi and Salem — that they had no information to share since no action was taken over the years or they did not get a copy of the circular, the Tamil Nadu Information Commission came down heavily on the civic bodies and directed the Commissioner of Municipal Administration to take disciplinary action against the then Corporation Commissioners, First Appellate Authorities and PIOs.
