Crackers were burst and sweets distributed by partymen and people. Though many described his selection as pleasant surprise, their expectations are also high.

Brimming with joy, Mr. M. Anbukarasn, secretary, Periakulam Welfare Committee, said the responsibility of Mr. Paneerselvam was high and hoped that he would fulfil the needs of Periakulam. Many recalled the good work done by him during his tenure as municipal chairman.

Mr. Ilamurugan, Periakulam panchayat union secretary, AIADMK said it was a gift to the area. He would utilise this opportunity to work for the welfare of the district, particularly Periakulam.

Dr. C. Selvaraj, doctor in Vadugapatti, said Mr. Paneerselvam was the apt candidate and the post was offered for his selfless service.

The people wanted the Chief Minister to give top priority to laying of road between Periakulam and Kodaikanal to make Periakulam a vantage tourist point. Conversion of Kumbakarai and Vaigai dam as tourist spots may help development of Periakulam.
