The Tambaram Corporation should have a website to help residents make complaints, get construction plan approval, pay property tax, and download birth and death certificates. To pay taxes and avail themselves of other services, the residents now use tnurbantree.tn.gov.in, which has minimum facilities, and the residents are not able to view the details of tax dues and the incentives for early payment.

Corporation responds:
A senior official of the Tambaram Corporation says the tnurbantree.tn.gov.in website is common for all the newly formed municipal corporations. The website has the facilities for downloading birth and death certificates and paying property, professional, and water and drainage taxes. The official says the property tax receipts can be downloaded from the https://tnurbanepay.tn.gov.in/ website.
Utility poles misused
Of late, small vinyl hoardings are fixed on the utility poles without authorisation. Commercial establishments misuse the poles to get free publicity. Small advertisement boards are installed on the poles in Avadi, Pattabiram, Manali New Town, and Pallavaram. We request officials to remove these advertisements and file police complaints against those responsible.
