75-People should be educated on respecting the departed soul and not causing inconvenience to others. To help pensioners, Jeevan Pramaan should be issued at all access points and post offices. Vande Bharat Express should be extended to Kanniyakumari to boost tourism. Roads should be widened to reduce traffic congestion. Banks should follow nomination system in true spirit. VC facility should be established in Tenkasi. Trees posing threat to roads should be removed and eroded roads should be repaired.
Flowers on road
Whenever a funeral procession from the house to the graveyard takes place, relatives of the deceased shower flowers all the way. These flowers / petals are taken from garlands used for honouring the deceased by friends and relatives. The flowers strewn firstly make the road unclean. Children unknowingly may handle the flowers when they return from school. Above all, stray cattle graze on the flowers on the road, disrupting inconvenience to road users. Paying last respects to the departed soul must be within limits and not become a hindrance to others. People should get educated on these issues.

Help pensioners
Jeevan Pramaan, the digital life certificate for pensioners, is supposed to be issued at all IPPB access points and post offices. But as it is not issued at Vadakku Ariyanayagipuram - Pettai office, elders have to travel either to Ambasamudram or Tirunelveli HPO. So, to help the elders saddled with old age and disabilities, in this digital age, it can be issued at their doorstep after taking their biometric identity or face authentication.
