While welcoming the announcement of the Mayor, it is regretted that the health dept is least bothered about removal of garbage in residential localities. Garbages are piling up in Thudiyalur are and the same was cleared with a lot of appreciation when the area was under Thdiyalur Panchayath before the merger with CMC. The Mayor, elected by the people of this area also, should look in to the potential health hazard. A quick action will be appreciated by the people in this locality.
