Lok Sabha polls | Tiruvannamalai: lack of civic infrastructure, frequent garbage burning take the sheen off temple town

The Hindu  

The temple town of Tiruvannamalai draws its identity from the famous Arunachaleswara temple located at the base of Arunachala. Educated youth migrate to big towns and cities like Chennai and Bengaluru for work as the town and adjoining areas do not have major industries to provide jobs,” said K. Meiappan, a trader. The town is one among six Assembly constituencies that include Jolarpet, Tirupattur, Chengam, Kilpennathur and Kalasapakkam forming Tiruvannamalai Lok Sabha constituency. Mr. Annadurai, a commerce graduate from Pachaiyappa’s College in Chennai, keeps a low profile but has been involved in the implementation of several civic infrastructure works, including construction of sub-health centres, street lights, school buildings, bus shelters, and creation of ponds through the Member of Parliament Local Area Development funds. A native of Thenmathur village near Tiruvannamalai town, the 52-year-old M. Kaliyaperumal, AIADMK candidate for Tiruvannamalai constituency, has been in the party for more than three decades.
