He inaugurated the air-conditioner unit of the Dheerga Sumangali Kalyana Mandapam (marriage hall), built by the police department.

The Mandapam is being given on concessional rent to police personnel for conducting marriages of their wards and also for public at a reasonable price.

Mr.Rajendran said deviation from the law would invite problems.

"This type of Mandapam is not there for the police department anywhere in the state," he said.

M.S.Shanmugham, Collector, emphasised the need for police personnel to ease their tension through family get-together.

He said police personnel in the district have contributed their three-day salary for the construction of the Mandapam.

Indian Overseas Bank has given a loan of Rs 28 lakh while Shanmugha Arts Science Technology and Research Academy University has contributed Rs.21 lakh. The university has provided generators for the air-conditioner.

The ADGP honoured Damodaran, retired inspector, who contributed his services for the Mandapam; Indrajith, Additional Superintendent of Police; Krishnamurthy, Inspector, Special branch; Krishna Prasad, Chief Regional Manager of Indian Overseas Bank; and Swaminathan, Deputy Registrar of SASTRA; on the occasion.

Expedite release of funds for flood relief, Karunanidhi tells Pawar


NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Sunday urged Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar to help the State by releasing funds at the earliest to speed up relief works in the flood- affected areas.

Mr. Karunanidhi requested Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi to expedite the Rs. 2,015-crore Chennai airport expansion work, being carried out by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

Minister of State for Finance S.S. Palanimanickam, who was present at the meeting, reminded the Minister about taking up renovation of the Thanjavur airport, for which Mr. Ravi agreed and sought a detailed request.




Mr. Pawar and Mr. Ravi met Mr. Karunanidhi here after the Chief Minister arrived to participate in the meeting on internal security scheduled for Tuesday.

Mr. Pawar told The Hindu that the Chief Minister explained to him the damage caused by floods to lives, crops, cattle and infrastructure in nine districts during the October-December northeast monsoon, which claimed over 120 lives.

A Central team had assessed the damage and submitted its report to the Home Ministry.

The Agriculture Minister told Mr. Karunanidhi that the report of the Central team was with the government and soon a committee, headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and having as members himself (Mr. Pawar), Home Minister P. Chidambaram and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia would meet and finalise the amount to be released to the State.

“I told Mr. Karunanidhi that I will do my level best to take up the issue for the speedy release of funds,” he said.

Tamil Nadu had received 1,169 mm of rainfall in 2010 during the northeast monsoon against the normal average of 945 mm.

Coastal districts were hit by floods and the State had sought a Central assistance of Rs.1,832 crore.

Airport expansion

Mr. Ravi told The Hindu that he would discuss the progress of the Chennai airport expansion works with officials and direct them to speed it up.

After modernisation, the airport will be able to handle 40 aircraft movements an hour, up from 30, with the number of aircraft parking bays going up to 84 from the current 70.

Traffic projections for the airport show that while it handled 1.05 crore passengers in 2009-10, this figure is expected to touch 1.19 crore in 2011-12 and reach about 1.30 crore in 2012-13.

I understand that Thanjavur air force station authorities have expressed no objection to share the existing facility for civil avaiation purposes. Proposal to expand this air force station is under active consideration of concerned authorities. LA to extend the runway is initiated but met with some protest by affected.

Thanjavur was air connected to Madras by erstwhile "Vayoodhoot" services in the eighties.

Poor roads: municipality draws flak

THANJAVUR: Pathetic condition of roads in many wards within Thanjavur Municipal limit came up for discussion at the Municipal Council meeting here on Monday.

Rajeswaran, AIADMK councillor, said many roads have not been laid anew though they have been taken up in the project for relaying at the time of millennium celebrations of the Big Temple in September.

The government had allotted Rs 25 crore for this purpose.

In some wards, roads have been dug up and left without being re-laid.

In other instances, while one road has been selected for relaying, work has been done in another one.

He wanted to know when all the roads taken in the project be completed.

Chairperson of Thanjavur Municipality Thenmozhi Jayabal said sand was in a big demand and hence works were delayed.

Mr.Rajeswaran said price of sand has gone up and hence contractors are reluctant to execute the work.

Swaminathan, another AIADMK councillor, joined Rajeswaran and said there is no demand for sand in Cauvery delta.

Sand mining has been banned at Palar and Thamiravaruni, and not at Kollidam and Cauvery. Sand is available but the Municipality is not carrying out its work properly.

Chitra, AIADMK councillor, complained that manholes created during underground drainage work, are yet to be plugged in her ward.

Mr.Rajeswaran wanted to know whether the amount of Rs 25 crore announced by the Central Government at the time of millennium celebrations for Thanjavur has been released.

To this the chairperson said the amount was given for renovation and improvement of the Big Temple and it will be handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and not to the Municipality. Savithri Gopal said mosquito menace is haunting the people of Thanjavur.
