Poor amenities at Moffusil Bus halts

The passengers are put to lot of hardships owing to the poor monitoring and control by the Officials of the Concerned departments of the State Govt.  

Especially, the women travellers find great difficulty to relieve their natural calls at the places where the buses of public and private fleet operators make halt.

There are no proper lavatories or water and rest facilities are provided in many of the places where these buses make halt.

Moreover, the bus crews halt the buses at their whims and convenience to get free food and tips from the shops and eateries run at these stop-overs.

The Government boasts of the state as the No.1 tourist destination in India but the above shortcomings reflect the pathetic situation of travellers amenities.

Cheap leaders and publicity

LPoster and Banner culture has reached the peak and idiotic level in Chennai city. Recently, digital banner and posters were seen in one area. The banners welcomed  a less popular but communal party leader to the puberty ceremony in one of the families.

The money collected din the name of party, we understand from the reliable source, is being lavishly spent for the personal care and cheap publicity. 

In another case, the poster announced the presence of one leader for the meeting organised to console the death of a small time poilitician in the locality.

Dust everywhere

The poor and delayed planning and execution of many  projects like Metro, elevated corridor, new drainage systems, frequent digging up of the same place and roads have led to the unhealthy environment and living conditions in Chennai city.

Will the Cheif Minister rein in the concerned departments to rectify the above situation of pollution and poor infrastructure ?

Another instance of Poor Administration

Here a clip of the News in today's Times of India paper is presented to understand the gross negligence and failure of Chennai corporation and the apathy of State government machinery.

Besides the above, the authorities collect Property tax and Water tax ( though no water is supplied), but they say the area  is unapproved.

The situation is very common in many parts of the city due to the incompetence and lack of supervision of the officials working in the concerned departments .

Multiplexes cheat the public

Cinemas in the Multiplexes of Chennai city are fleecing the general public by having the condition that no outside food will be allowed inside their premises.

However, they charge exorbitant rates for the food sold in the outlets run by them.

A half-litre bottle of water is charged Rs. 30/- and the Popcorn priced at Rs. 150/- whatever be the special in them!

The pricing of food articles and soft drinks has no logic except the sole aim of making huge profit. In fact, it is like robbery in the day time with the consent of movie goers.

Why the civic authority of Chennai is not taking action to rein in such fleecing?
