The Suggestions:
The suggestions given by the various stakeholders are presented below:
Thiru R.S.Shivaprakasam, Chairman
City is having very less fund for infrastructure development, though industrialists
and business man belong to this want to contribute for improvement
infrastructure of town but that fund also is not sufficient
Grant from Government is very low so they can not initiate the development of
basic infrastructure.
People are ready to pay for provision of infrastructure but it should be quality
infrastructure and nominal for them as they are paying for RO treated water
supply.
Town roads are encroached by the people so they should be fined and need
widenening for congestion free traffic.
The formula to calculate the Propoerty tax is wrong it should be revised as a
person living in a single floor with small house is paying the same price, what a
person with 3 floor is paying.
There is a need to provide infrastructure to Govt. School as the quality of
infrastructure is very poor.
Sewerage system and replacement of Water line is on priority and after that the
road work should start.
