Madras HC directs officials to consider plea to repair, maintain tourist spots in Kanniyakumari

New Indian Express  

MADURAI: The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court recently directed the secretary of municipal administration and Kanniyakumari collector to consider and take decision expeditiously on a plea seeking repair and maintenance of the public roads, platforms at Kanniyakumari Bus Stand and other tourist places in the Kanniyakumari Town Panchayat. A bench comprising Justices MS Ramesh and AD Maria Clete gave the direction on a Public Interest Litigation petition filed by one AM Sundaravel of Tirunelveli. In his petition, Sundaravel stated that after the Kanniyakumari local authority was declared as a special grade town panchayat, several taxes and fees were collected from the public towards maintenance of the roads, bus stands, parking areas and tourist spots in the town panchayat. The collection of such charges and fees, unless proper maintenance works are undertaken, is illegal, he claimed, and gave a representation to the authorities concerned, seeking necessary action.
