Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker M. Appavu and District Collector R. Sukumar inaugurated on Wednesday the work on giving drinking water connections to 12,099 houses in Thisaiyanvilai town panchayat from the Tamirabharani Combined Drinking Water Scheme being implemented at a cost of over ₹423 crore for benefitting Kalakkad municipality and seven other town panchayats in Nanguneri and Radhapuram Assembly constituencies. As the drinking water project, being implemented on an outlay of ₹423.13 crore for benefiting the residents of Kalakkad municipality and Ervadi, Thirukkurungudi , Nanguneri, Panagudi, Moolaikaraipatti, Thisaiyanvilai and Valliyoor town panchayats, is nearing completion, work on giving drinking water connections to the houses has started. 'Since 70% of this drinking water project has been completed, we hope that the beneficiary families will start getting drinking water from October this year,' Mr. Appavu said after inaugurating the work at Thisaiyanvilai in his Radhapuram Assembly constituency. Followed by Thisaiyanvilai, the drinking water connection work will be started in other six town panchayats and Kalakkad municipality shortly. Each resident is likely to get 135 litres of drinking water a day from this project, he said. 'Since the trial run for drinking water supply to the houses will commence very shortly, we'll repair the roads damaged in the drinking water pipe laying work after the commissioning of the scheme,' the Speaker said. He appealed to the public to make use of the 'Ungaludan Stalin' for redressing their long-standing grievances and screen their health by visiting the 'Nalam Kaakkum Stalin' medical camps.

Radhapuram Assembly segment gets nine more part-time ration shops
The Radhapuram Assembly segment has sanctioned nine more part-time ration shops. According to Radhapuram MLA and Assembly Speaker M. Appavu, 35 new ration shops have been established in his constituency over the past four years. Considering the genuine demand for more shops, the MLA had submitted a memorandum to the Minister for Cooperation K.R. Periya Karuppan and the Minister for Food and Consumer Protection R. Sakkarapani seeking sanctioning of 30-odd new ration shops in his constituency to ensure the supply of essential commodities to the cardholders through the fair price shops in their area itself. Subsequently, 13 shops were sanctioned in the first phase, which were opened on April 24 last, and the government has given permission for opening nine more part-time ration shops in many places. These ration shops will come up at Nambipathu (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday), Puthukkudiyiruppu in Achampadu village panchayat (Wednesday), Aachchiyoor in Anaikulam panchayat (Thursday), Kulaththukudiyiruppu in Valliyoor town panchayat (Friday), Pullamangalam in Irukkanthurai panchayat (Thursday), Senaarkulam (Saturday), Ponnaarkulam (Friday), Kalvilai in Karisuttrupudhur panchayat (Friday) and Sooduyarnthaanvilai (Saturday). 'We've built permanent buildings in the past four years for all 48 new ration shops from the MLA Constituency Development Fund. Hence, the nine new ration shops will also get buildings very soon once the officials identify the accessible place,' Mr. Appavu told 'The Hindu' on Monday.
