Meeting the long-felt need for a government medical college in Virudhunagar district is one of the biggest achievements of the ruling party. Colleges, hospitals and hostel buildings are coming up at a fast pace in the Collectorate’s campus.
However, the state of the infrastructure at the district headquarters, which falls under Virudhunagar assembly constituency, leaves much to be desired.
Daily drinking water supply is a distant dream that supplies water once in five days. Lack of proper distribution lines has affected the implementation of the Tamirbharani Joint Drinking Water Scheme.
The two overhead tanks constructed as part of the centenary celebrations of the Virudhunagar municipality are not yet in use as the distribution pipeline has not been laid by the local body for almost three years. As a result, the city’s tail-end areas receive little or insufficient supply.
Despite the good rains this year, the Anikuttam dam, the main source of drinking water for the city, remains dry, which has been delayed due to the proper closure. Unlike the storage capacity of 125.75 MCFT, the dam has no water. Ters have not been proposed for renovation of nine shutters and construction of three new spillways at a cost of 23.5 crores.
Another major need for the town, the Road Over Bridge on Ramamurthy Road, has been fulfilled after a prolonged legal dispute.
“I took special interest in completing the bridge,” said DMK sitting MLA ARR Sinivasan. Similarly, he took credit for the completion of a railway underpass at Alampatti.
He claims that a second joint drinking water project with Tamirbharani as the source has been approved by the government following his persistent demands.
Mr. Senivasan, who is a two-time MLA from the constituency, has been re-fielded by the DMK and is named the new BJP leader. Has been pitted against Pandurgan.
Mr. Pandurangan, an industrialist, says he was attracted by the many good schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and would try to implement those that have not reached the people. “Being in the construction industry, I have seen many roads in the constituency which lack proper road connectivity. I have received many complaints on drinking water and drainage issues. ”
Mr. Sinivasan says that he will try to bring a government arts and science college and a law college in Virudhunagar.
Long-distance buses escaping the city and bad roads are major complaints. Lack of bus connectivity at the railway station is causing considerable inconvenience to the passengers.
Amma Makkal Munnetra is the bitter candidate G. Thangaraj to join the intense competition. They believe that their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic, through the delivery of welfare assistance to more than 68,000 families, will make them a strong contender.
Other candidates in the fray are All India Samuthuwa Makkal Katchi K N. Manimaran and Naam are VR Selvakumar of Tamilnar.
