The Communist Party of India has slammed the administrations of various civic bodies for the spread of dengue and other viral diseases in the district.
M. Subramanian, district secretary of the party, told reporters here that the reporting of large number of dengue cases, of which majority got reported from Tirupur Corporation, could have been avoided if the authorities took preventive measures like reducing the sources of mosquito breeding in advance.
Till the virus started spreading, many of the civic bodies did not respond adequately, he blamed.
The party expressed concern over the large number of crime cases that were getting reported in the city and its hinterland.
In our representation to the State Government, we have reiterated the need to give social security to the migrant workers in Tirupur and adjoining industrial clusters so as to avoid the possibilities of them taking up crime or getting hired for the commitment of crimes, Mr. Subramanian said.
The district conference of the party called upon those involved in traffic management to come together to sort out the traffic chaos before it could affect the industrial prowess of the Tirupur knitwear cluster.
The police should regulate the movement of heavy vehicles inside the city which include the unnecessary shuttling of long distance buses between the two bus stands at the southern and northern parts of the city. They should instead set up separate bus stands on the outskirts of the city as in the case with many cities in the State for buses departing for destinations in different directions, Mr. Subramanian said.
