Negligent attitude The Tirunelveli Corporation’s negligent attitude in providing basic amenities has caused inconvenience to residents. Most roads in the city that were dug up for the underground drainage works have not been levelled, and bitumen has been used only for specific roads. In addition, the drinking water supply situation is also worrying. There is discontent among the public over the inaction of corporation officials. H. Syed Othuman, Maharaja Nagar. Rescue infrastructure There are frequent reports of fishermen going missing in southern districts during the monsoon. Every year, their death toll continues to rise. The Indian Coast Guard and the Coastal Security Police are often engaged in the search operations along with local fishing boats. However, establishment of helicopter facilities near Kanniyakumari will be a great help to provide protection and assistance to fishermen. The authorities are requested to take action to establish a Coast Guard station near Kanniyakumari, which will be beneficial for fishermen of southern districts. G. Stanley Jeyasingh, Road repairs The potholes and extensively damaged roads at Jeba Garden need to be addressed immediately. The entire area is prone to waterlogging, and driving has become impossible on the muddy and slushy roads. Also, the bus shelter nearby is a bottle neck for pedestrians, two-wheelers and other motorists. Authorities must initiate remedial measures to repair the roads and improve illumination at the junction. M. Ayyadurai, Saibaba colony. Public hindrance Sir C. P. Ramasamy Iyer Memorial Park in Nagercoil offers a peaceful atmosphere and wonderful environment. But to the dismay of the users, demonstrations of various organisations, including political parties, are permitted in front of the park. This creates hindrance to children and other members of the public who come to enjoy the park. B. Nagalingam Pillai, Thazhakudy. Parking woes The front portion of Combined District Court Campus in Palayamkottai is continuously occupied by two-wheelers and even cars causing inconvenience to the road users. Despite plenty of parking space inside the campus, vehicle users seem to ignore it and park their vehicle haphazardly. Rajakumar Arulanandham, Palayamkottai.
