Mayor P. Jegan on Monday appealed to the public to remove ramps that had been built on the road in front of their houses as the Thoothukudi City Municipal Corporation will be laying roads on all streets.
Chairing the Corporation Council meeting here on Monday, he said the ramps constructed in front of the houses by residents were hampering movement of vehicles along the streets. Since the Corporation would soon begin the work on all streets, the property owners should remove the ramps in front of their houses on their own. Otherwise, the Corporation would remove the ramp and recover the cost of the work from the property owner concerned. He urged the residents also to utilise the opportunity and get the underground drainage connection before the roads were relaid.
The Mayor said the reconstructed bus stand was effectively serving the public besides being a shopping complex. The Corporation, which had decided not to allow minibuses into the bus stand, now proposed to allow three minibuses at a time after collecting entry fee.
