Salem West MLA R. Arul irked by social media attacks on Ramadoss
After recently expressing disappointment at the manner in which he was 'mocked', along with former PMK president G.K. Mani, at the party's Salem district general council meeting, Salem West MLA, R. Arul, on Sunday declared his loyalty would continue to be with the organisation's founder S. Ramadoss. There is an ongoing feud between Dr Ramadoss and his son and party 'president' Anbumani Ramadoss. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Arul expressed confidence that PMK's supporters would remain with the party and Dr. Ramadoss. 'None of the party men would leave the PMK. For me, Doctor Ayya (Ramadoss) will always come first. Dr. Anbumani will be my leader after that,' he said. Mr. Arul said he was disappointed that he was mocked despite being admitted in the hospital. 'I cannot understand how GK Mani, one of our senior most leaders who was also hospitalised can be mocked in that manner. I was in jail, I have been arrested under Goondas Act for [taking up the cause of ] the party,' he said. Mr. Arul further alleged a clique has been formed to attack and discredit those who are with Dr. Ramadoss and called those who spread canards for a debate about his contribution and sacrifice to the party. 'We are incensed and irked by attacks on Doctor Ayya when we are trying to resolve issues within the party,' he said. He would be willing to meet Dr. Anbumani and 'resolve any issues when the time is right'. 'We were close to a solution; Ayya said he was willing to give up his claim on party president with some conditions but this couldn't be achieved,' he said. The situation came to a head recently after Dr. Ramadoss declared he would be party president as long as he is alive. He had earlier said he would be handing over the leadership of the party after the 2026 assembly polls. In response, Dr. Anbumani said that he would implement Dr. Ramadoss' ideology and policies as the party's president. Sources close to Dr. Anbumani said chances of reconciliation with those who are rejecting the present leadership are slim even if issues with Dr. Ramadoss is resolved. 'Dr. Anbumani is willing to reconcile with those who have the best interests of the party in their heart and mind. But it is tough to reconcile with those whose loyalties lie beyond the the source said. The sources hoped his Padayatra scheduled to begin in last week of July will further strengthen his hold on the party.

Tiruvannamalai Corporation to build multi-level car parks for pilgrims near Arunachaleshwara temple
The Tiruvannamalai Corporation plans to set up multi-level modular car parking facilities, mainly for pilgrims, near the Arunachaleshwara temple to prevent haphazard parking on the town's key stretches and narrow streets. Officials said the civic body had selected at least five spots near Mada Streets around the temple for the new facilities as it would be convenient for visitors to have a place to park their vehicles safely. A nominal fee will be charged for the use of the facilities. 'Modalities of the new facility are being worked out. The estimated cost of the new multi-level parking will be around ₹1 crore,' S. Selva Balaji, Commissioner, Tiruvannamalai Corporation, told The Hindu. At present, Tiruvannamalai town gets around 3 lakh visitors on Chitra Pournami days and 1.5 lakh tourists on weekends. During the Maha Deepam festival last December, around 40 lakh visitors came to the town. Most pilgrims, especially from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, come in cabs and cars. Residents said many cars that had other State number plates were parked on the town's key stretches and narrow streets. Such illegal parking is causing traffic congestion, locals said. 'Most of these vehicles are parked during night to evade traffic police and residents' attention. Due to the blocked roads, ambulances have sometimes had trouble reaching patients during emergencies,' said P. Bhaskan, secretary, Tiruvannamalai All Traders' Association. Officials said that the the parking facilities would afford better utilisation of the available space. The new facility will be modular, which is a detachable one. Such a modular parking facility can be relocated depending on needs during festival seasons, such as Maha Deepam. Most of the open land within civic body limits comes under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) Department. Revenue officials have also removed encroachments on 9.5 acres, which belongs to the HR and CE Department, on the Girivalam path. A rent-free land will be provided for the new facility. Each facility will have 10 floors with on an average 10 vehicles can be parked on each floor. As per traffic police study, around 200-300 cars come to the town every day on pilgrimage. Such a parking facility will decongest the town and offer more space for both pedestrians and motorists. Other vehicles including tourist vans and buses will be allowed to park on designated temporary parking lots on the outskirts of the town.
