The CPI on Monday staged a demonstration in front of the Collectorate here urging the government to check the illegal transportation of ration rice.
They asked the government to check the collection of fee for the Arasu Cable TV, and renovate the main thoroughfares to ensure free flow of traffic.
They said that roads in Ammapettai were very congested. Traffic bottlenecks often cause untold hardship to the travelling public. A flyover should be constructed on the Military road in Ammapettai.
Those with vested interests were transporting ration rice regularly, due to which the poor were not getting their quota from fair price shops. The district administration should take immediate steps to put an end to this.
The drainages in various parts of the city were in a very poor condition, due to which drain water flows on to the roads during monsoon. The corporation should renovate all the drainages in the city.
A. Mohan, district secretary of the CPI, led the agitation.
