Condition of road
Condition of road
The condition of Old Kuyavarpalayam Road is highly deplorable. The entire stretch from East Veli Street till old Dinamani Theatre is totally unfit and unsafe for travel by any mode of transport. Broken slabs, uneven pavements, big craters, deep road cuts, potholes, heaps of sand, uncleared garbage, half open drains dot this stretch. Even a slight drizzle makes the conditions worse. This road has several schools, offices and commercial establishments and remains busy always. Works related to Smart City were done just a few metres away from this road leaving this stretch as an orphan. I request Madurai Corporation to set right these anomalies.

No standard rates
The government, under Digital India policy, encourages people to do all public interactions through online - be it patta / chitta or application for EC / Life certificate. Many documents need to be scanned and uploaded. While this activity can be done through E-seva / Xerox centres, there is no standard rates for copying, printing or scanning. One charges ₹5 for printing when a file is forwarded through their own email or WhatsApp while others charge ₹10 additional to open mail even though the mail is always kept open. All these centres exploit the poor customers who in the process blame Digital India policy. May I request the Collector to standardise the charges and make it mandatory to display the rates prominently at every centre.
