Interview
Student Reporter Shinny
(on Transportation issue)
Operating moffusil buses
through the crowded Car
street and Thiruvoodal
Street causes traffic snarl
and accidents daily?
We are encouraging people to
use public transport. We ran
eleven small buses on this
route. We are talking with
private buses owners also to
help in it.
2. Hawkers of many big
shops are causing traffic
jam by building their
shops in their land fully
and not leaving space for
parking customer's
vehicles ?
We believe in providing options
rather than in penalizing. We
are looking for space to build
parking spots but that will take
it’s own time as we need to
consider place, construction
cost and maintenance work. As
you righty said people also
need to take ownership of their
actions. By making a parking
lot, not allowing them to
occupy public area outside
shop, things will improve for
them and others.

(on Transportation issue)
Sir, I have seen many
auto which are overloaded
and overcharging at
the time of Girivalam.
What would be your
advice about it ?
(…concerned ) Overloading is
not good as it can cause
accidents and put many lives in
danger. Public attitude is also
responsible for it with low
pricing and less waiting time.
They are not objecting to auto
drivers doing it. We have even
placed rate cards in public
buses to make the general
public aware about rates.
Public should change their
attitude and be responsible for
their actions as this endangers
their and others lives.
2. Children are riding
bikes without licence and
police officers are not
catching them. What
would be your advice,
Sir ?
My advice is they should never
do this. Before it gets to police
officers, parents should be held
responsible for this illegal
action. Parents should not
encourage this, as this action
could be life threatening to
their child and other innocent
persons. We place lots of traffic
awareness posters and we will
seriously look into it. Will
discuss this with traffic police
also.
Student Reporter K.B.Surya
Varshini (on Roads issue)
There is no proper road
outside and inside the
town; as an example
Kanathampoondi road is
full of mud we are unable
to go to school. What steps
you are going to take.
This may also cause
accidents Sir?
There are three roads authorized
in Tiruvannamalai, bypass area
are under national road authority,
rural roads and municipality
is also taking care of a few
roads. As this is where schools
are, we will take care of it.
Student Reporter Yoogasri
(on Road issue)
Sir, the lights which all
are in the streets are not
switched on, so many
accidents take place,
what can we do sir ?
(.. he enquires about details)
We will take care of it especially
in Ponnusamy Nagar. Street
8
lights are under government
and municipal areas. So, we
need to see where this is
happening and take corrective
measures to avoid this.
Student Reporter S. Salwa
(on Social Activities issue)
Sir, we have heard that
you work all 7 days in a
week. And even in this
busy schedule, I have
read in a newspaper that
you are working in MGN-
REG for 2 hours every
Saturday? Reviewing the
water bodies: So, how do
you feel about this sir?
I believe in Shram Daan(voluntry
work through physical
effort) our father of nation also
supported it. Volunteer work
and Shramdaan (voluntry work
through physical effort) bring
satisfaction. My schedule seems
busy , my fortnightly programs
are there on the website a
month in advance. Still I like to
take out time for important and
urgent things. I give quality
time to review and guide
projects.
Student Reporter S. Swarna
Terasa
(on Social Activities issue)
Sir, I came to know that
you are an expert in your
service training and
some of your initiatives
have changed the whole
district. We are very
proud of that. Sir, as
students of this district
how can we help you. Sir,
suggest us some ways.
Social awareness is part of
individuals’ personalities. I
appreciate students with a
service mentality. Schools
should run volunteer programs
for students to create
social awareness. Schools can
adopt a nearby village to share
concepts and knowledge to
