Stick to stipulated deadline, Tirunelveli Corporation Commissioner tells officials and contractors

Corporation Commissioner Monika Rana, who inspected some of the ongoing development works in Palayamkottai and Thatchanallur zones of the urban civic body on Monday, instructed officials and contractors to stick to the stipulated deadline for completing the projects with superior quality.

Since the clogged sewage channels near the water tank at Samathanapuram in Palayamkottai Zone would cause instant flooding during downpours on the Tiruchendur Road and along the Pothunala Street, Dr. Monika inspected the drainage channels at this spots and asked the officials to regularly clean these channels to avert flooding.

When the Commissioner visited the Ramasamy Temple and the road connecting this temple and LIC Divisional Office near VOC Ground, she appealed to the public and the traders running roadside eateries not to leave the garbage getting generated in their shops on the road and dump it in the nearby drainage channels. She also instructed the officials to ensure cleanliness along this busy road by constantly monitoring the traders.

“Those who defy the Corporation’s instructions and discard waste on the roads or dump it in the drainage channels should be taken to task if the repeated appeals go in vain,” she said.

When she inspected the ongoing works at Children’s Park, swimming pool, skating rink, walkers’ path etc., all under the Smart City Mission near Bharathi School, the Commissioner asked the officials and the contractors to complete the projects assigned to them within the stipulated deadline.

“Any compromise on quality will be viewed very seriously as it will land you in legal complications besides blacklisting,” the Commissioner warned.

Superintending Engineer Kannan and Assistant Commissioners Purandira Das and Johnson Devasahayam accompanied the Commissioner during the inspection.
