The Hindu: Coimbatore: Friday, September 08, 2017.
Residents of
Ward 21 are perplexed at the corporation administration’s statement that a
storm water drain has been constructed from Goundanaickenpalayam to
Kanchanpalayam at a cost of Rs.74.8 lakh.
This was one
of the projects they listed while replying to queries under the Right to
Information Act on development works carried out in the ward.
But in
reality, no such drainage exists, said E. Ambika, a resident of the ward.
According to
the residents, the lack of proper drainage facility is causing enormous
problems when it rains.
S.
Sundarapandian, district convener of Aam Aadmi Party, said that giving wrong
answers to queries under the RTI had been taken to the notice of the senior
officials.
They are yet
to give a proper reply how Rs.74.8 lakh was spent, as no such storm water drain
has come up in the locality. The administration should clarify the same at the
earliest, he added.
