Good initiative.

But it would be proper if we name thread with its official name as other cities have names in thread.

I request mods to name it as "Tirunelveli - Projects and developments"

Proposal for Rs.800 crore submitted for Nellai

TIRUNELVELI: The Corporation has submitted to the 13th Finance Commission a comprehensive proposal for executing a number of development works and for the creation of new infrastructure, all at an outlay of Rs. 800 crore, for the residents living under the urban local body.

It is all set to witness influx of significant population from outside in near future with the State giving special thrust on the starting Special Economic Zones at Nanguneri and Gangaikondan.

Appearing before the 13th Finance Commission during its visit to Chennai from June 2 to 5, Mayor A.L. Subramanian, while narrating the strengths and weaknesses of the Corporation that was formed in 1994 by amalgamating Tirunelveli, Palayamkottai and Melapalayam municipalities, Thatchanallur town panchayat and 15 neighbouring village panchayats, said the civic body had to ensure better basic amenities for the 4.60 lakh population with the total revenue of Rs. 46.73 crore – Rs. 27.90 crore through taxes and Rs. 18.83 crore through grants from State and Central Finance Commissions – even as the expenditure exceeded the income, causing a deficit of Rs. 10.32 crore during the current fiscal.

Moreover, towards the repayment of loans, the corporation has to annually pay Rs. 4 crore. According to the City Development Plan, prepared by CRISIL, Bangalore, the corporation was immediately in need of Rs. 240.51 crore for executing a range of development programmes including water supply (Rs. 16.06 crore), underground drainage for the left-out areas (Rs. 111.70 crore), roads (Rs. 75.82 crore), storm water drain (Rs. 2.15 crore), installation of streetlights (Rs. 5.36 crore), solid waste management (Rs. 12.10 crore), constructing hospital and school buildings, maintenance of bus-stands and providing adequate facilities there etc. (Rs. 17.32 crore).

Construction of community halls, maintenance of existing parks and creating some more recreational areas would require a few crores of rupees. He hoped that the Finance Commission would respond positively.

Solar thermal power plant may come up in Tirunelveli district

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital cost of installing a solar power plant is high

Centre suggests that project could be a joint venture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHENNAI: Udangudi in Tuticorin district may be the site for a 100-megawatt solar thermal power plant. This was mooted during a meeting between Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah and Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami here on Saturday.

The Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had offered to help Tamil Nadu establish the solar thermal power plant.

Mr. Veeraswami told The Hindu that the capital cost of installing a solar power plant was high and the per MW cost was in the range of Rs.18 crore to Rs. 20 crore. This was why Central assistance was required.

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board chairman C.P. Singh said the Centre had suggested that the proposed project could be implemented as a joint venture involving Union and State governments.

Wind power

The Union Minister also indicated the Centre’s willingness to support modernisation and capacity upgrading of the Board’s demonstration windmills installed at Kayathar in Tirunelveli district.

The State government submitted a memorandum to Dr. Abdullah, seeking Central grant for expansion of the transmission network in tune with the rising capacity addition of windmills. In the next five years, 2,500 MW capacity is expected to be added and an investment of Rs.1,500 crore is required.

In spite of the constraints of the wind power sector such as low plant factor of 27 per cent, lower wheeling charges, higher power purchase rate and greater pressure on grid management due to heavy fluctuations in wind generation, the State has been promoting the green energy. As on January 31, 2009, Tamil Nadu accounts for around 42 per cent of the country’s total installed capacity of 9,756 MW of wind energy, the memorandum stated. The State also sought Central assistance for establishing 17 co-generation plants in cooperative and public sugar mills with a capacity of 234 MW and modernisation of the mills at a cost of Rs.1,500 crore. Dr. Abdullah assured the State that apart from examining the request, he would take it up with Union Agriculture Minister for possible funding through the Department of Cooperation at the Centre, Mr. Singh said.

The Union Minister earlier called on Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who, according to Mr. Veeraswami, wanted Dr. Abdullah to support Tamil Nadu’s projects.

So with this, Nellai shall be having all the sorts of power generation.
Wind Mills, Atomic Power.
Needs to explore the solar power generation too.
May be the under used land in the wind farms may be used to install the solar panels. I bet that these wind farms are located in high sunlight area.
Will there be any technical problem in having these together?

The population of tamilnadu has started decreasing over the past four years.

The population fertilisation rate is below 1.8 for the past four years, it has to be 2.1 to replace the entire population.

With More and More people going only for one kid, I guess it is going down rapidly.

On a different note,
Co-habitation was always there in our country, only off-late things are coming in Media so it makes people assume that culture is changing.

new flyover

திருநெல்வேலி, ஆக. 6: பாளையங்கோட்டை குலவணிகர்புரத்தில் ரூ.25.52 கோடியில் கட்டப்பட உள்ள புதிய மேம்பாலத்துக்கான பூர்வாங்க பணிகள் வியாழக்கிழமை தொடங்கின.

திருநெல்வேலி மாநகர்ப் பகுதியில் போக்குவரத்து நெரிசல் தீராத பிரச்னையாக உள்ளது. மாநகராட்சியும், காவல்துறையும் பல்வேறு நடவடிக்கைகளை எடுத்தாலும், இப் பிரச்னைக்குத் தீர்வு கிட்டவில்லை. பேட்டையில் இருந்து சமாதானபுரம் வரை சுமார் 5 கிலோ மீட்டர் தூரம் போக்குவரத்து நெரிசல் ஏற்படுகிறது.

வண்ணார்பேட்டை செல்லப்பாண்டியன் ரவுண்டானாவில் மேம்பாலம் அமைக்கப்படுவதால் இப் பகுதியில் போக்குவரத்து நெரிசல் கணிசமாகக் குறையும்.

கன்னியாகுமரி சாலையில் உள்ள குலவணிகர்புரம் ரயில்வே கேட்டிலும் போக்குவரத்து நெரிசல் அதிகமாக உள்ளது. ரயில்வே கேட் மூடப்படும்போது பெரும் நெரிசல் ஏற்படுகிறது. தினமும் இந்த ரயில்வே கேட் சுமார் 10 முறை மூடித் திறக்கப்படுகிறது.

மாநில நெடுஞ்சாலைத்துறை அதிகாரிகள் இங்கு புதிய மேம்பாலம் அமைப்பது குறித்து ஆய்வு செய்து அரசுக்கு அறிக்கை அனுப்பினர். இதைப் பரிசீலித்த உயர் அதிகாரிகள், புதிய மேம்பாலம் அமைக்க அனுமதி வழங்கினர்.

புதிய மேம்பாலம் அமைப்பதற்கு ரூ.25.52 கோடியை மத்திய நிதியில் இருந்து மாநில நெடுஞ்சாலைத்துறை சில நாள்களுக்கு முன் ஒதுக்கியது. பாலத்துக்கான திட்ட வரைவைத் தயாரிக்கும் பணியில் நெடுஞ்சாலைத்துறை அதிகாரிகள் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளனர்.

இப் பாலம் 600 மீட்டர் நீளம், 17 மீட்டர் அகலத்தில் அமைக்கப்படுகிறது; 70 டன் எடையைத் தாங்கும் திறனுடன் கட்டப்படுகிறது. பாலத்துக்குத் தேவையான நிலத்தில் 3.8 ஏக்கர் தனியாரிடம் உள்ளது. இந்த நிலத்தைக் கையகப்படுத்தும் நடவடிக்கை மேற்கொள்ளப்படுகிறது.

இப் பாலம் வடபுறத்தில் உள்ள ஒரு தனியார் பர்னிச்சர் கடையில் இருந்து தொடங்கி தென்புறத்தில் உள்ள பெட்ரோல் பங்க் வரை அமைகிறது. சிறை முன்பு அம்பாசமுத்திரம் சாலையில் பாலம் இரண்டாகப் பிரிகிறது.

பாலம் அமையும் இடத்தில் மண்ணின் தன்மையை ஆராயும் பணியை நெடுஞ்சாலைத்துறை ஊழியர்கள் வியாழக்கிழமை தொடங்கினர். இப் பணியை 15 நாள்களுக்குள் முடிக்க திட்டமிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.

"புதிய மேம்பாலம் கட்டும் பணி 7 மாதங்களுக்குள் தொடங்கப்படும். இரு ஆண்டுகளுக்குள் பாலம் முழுமையாக கட்டி முடிக்கப்படும் ' என நெடுஞ்சாலைத்துறையைச் சேர்ந்த உயர் அதிகாரி ஒருவர் தெரிவித்தார்.

குலவணிகர்புரம் ரயில்வே கேட்டில் மேம்பாலம் கட்டிமுடிக்கப்பட்டால், அங்கு ஏற்பட்டு வரும் போக்குவரத்து நெரிசலும் முழுமையாக குறைந்துவிடும் எனவும் அவர் தெரிவித்தார்.
