A log of activities
The Hon’ble Sub Collector cum Sub Divisional Collector of Cuddalore, Ms. K.M. Sarayu, visited the township Sewage Treatment Plant and reviewed its operations.
A high-level team from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) led by the District Environmental Engineer, together with the Advisor on Environmental Issues to the Hon’ble Collector of Cuddalore District visited our Sewage Treatment Plant at around 12 PM.
The STP Taskforce including Mr. Kumar Engineer, Secretary, Joint Secretary and other EC Members were present at the Site.
The team expressed satisfaction and the Learned Advisor gave a number of suggestions to improve the operations as well the environmental impact of our township.
Based on his input, we are putting together a 3-6 month plan for Zero Carbon Footprint impact for our Township.
Members of the Taskforce on Regularisation of the Township Layout and Plots met Mr. Sarathy, the Block Development Officer and discussed the status of our Layout Regularisation project and asked him a few questions for clarifications.
Mr. Sarathy was gracious enough to help us with some pointers on the application. We also discussed the modality of bringing in Panchayat civic services to our township and were told that we will have to get our township regularised before we can rightfully ask for Government services.
These meetings are part of our ongoing efforts to get our township regularised by the DTCP and the Local Government so that our roads, common amenities, etc could be funded, repaired, built if necessary and maintained by the Panchayat, from the house tax, development fees, regularisation fees and other levies contributed by the residents of the township.
Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Saturday
The Association has moved its office from the Library cum community hall premises into its new location:
Prarthana Complex.
The new office was inaugurated with a simple Puja on 14 July 2018
Residents and Wellwishers are requested to donate any unused furniture for the new Office.
We acknowledge with gratitude, help from Dr. Mano who has given us the premises at a discounted rental.
The Township represented by the taskforce met and bid a very warm farewell to Shri, Johny Tom Varghese IAS, the Sub Collector and Sub Divisional Magistrate of Cuddalore.
The Association, on behalf of all Homeowners and Residents presented a Citation in appreciation of all the help rendered by him to our township.
We exchanged fond memories of our working together for the past 10 months and hoped to meet again.
A six member team had comprehensive legal consultantation with a counsel in the upcoming 18 July 2018 case date.
The meeting lasted 30 minutes and the entire complaint was dissected.
The Secretary, Joint Secretary and the Treasurer, visited the Syndicate Bank, Reddichavadi, protesting the suspension of the Association’s two accounts and met the Manager.
The Manager was told numerous stories that were quite liberal with truth by Mr. Meganathan who has sought to take over the Association claiming to represent all house owners.
We patiently explained the truth to the Manager who immediately unsuspended the accounts.
The various vexatious tactics of the antisocial elements will not succeed. Once they have filed a suit against the association, we will defend the association rigorously, including counter suits to ensure safety for the township and interests of the home owners.
In response to the Affidavit copy sent to the Syndicate Bank, Reddichavadi, by Mr. Mohammad Shahid and Mr. Meganathan M, the two accounts were placed on suspension, we learnt today afternoon.
We will be taking counter measures to release the accounts from suspension to enable continued operations of the Association despite vigorous and continued efforts and attacks by vested interests to cripple the Association and the Township.
Maintenance was carried out at the STP under direct supervision of some of the taskforce members.
The field was worked on by earthworkers and the outlet pipes repaired.
Extensive repair, replacement, laying of new pipelines project was completed throughout the underground sewage network of the township.
The new pipelines network are tested and stabilised for gradient flow of the sewage under gravity alone from our township (1st cross) till the STP.
Continued monitoring on day to day, weekly and monthly basis will be done with preventive repairs to ensure that the flow is without any interruption, blockades are managed before they build up and our sewage pipelines will last for the next decade.
A number of maintenance related work was carried out by members of the taskforce on Friday and Saturday.
