Ever since A. Ramachandran assumed charge as Salem Mayor, he has begun his days by visiting people of his ward, (ward 6), and thanking them for his victory.
Mr. Ramachandran has been visiting every household: he thanks them by offering sweets and then listens to the public’s grievances.
In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Ramachandran said measures will be taken to meet the basic needs of the people. "I will strive hard to make Salem city self-sufficient in two to three years. Uninterrupted drinking water supply, drainage and sewage facilities and street lights are some of the common demands of the public and these will be addressed," he said. Mr .Ramachandran added that the Chief Minister has advised them to implement schemes for the welfare of the publi,c and projects would be implemented seeking necessary funds from the State government. He said attention would also be given to the development of schools and health centres.
