It's almost 9 months since we formed the Association. The association is taking steps through various means to solve the issue of non-approval of the layout by the local body - the Tiruverkadu Municipality. It appears that the various attempts made by the association to negotiate with the Society and the Developer, Mr.Rajan to find a solution to the above problem have not yielded any fruitful result sofar. However, we presume efforts are still being taken on this count. Let's pray for an early settlement.
While this is an issue which has been dragging since the time the plots were allotted to us in 2001/2002, we are now forced to tackle another major problem in the form of spoiling the entire layout. It is seen that industrial plastic waste has been dumped in various places of the layout by some unscrupulous elements during the last few months. When this was informed to a couple of office bearers of the Association, it seems from their reaction that they were also aware of it. It's the most unfortunate thing to happen to us and unless we take some immediate steps to set right the issue, our area may also look like a Perungudi or Kodungaiyur dumping yard. This may look a little far fetched as of now. But unless we act immediately, we never know, we may have a waste dumpyard in our layout.
So, what can be done? We have to remove the waste immediately and put a board warning such elements of severe action. This needs immediate attention because in a few weeks, the monsoon will begin in full earnest and it will spread the waste from few places to everywhere of the layout. It would not only spoil the atmosphere there but also affect the market value of our land. Let us all contribute, for our welfare, to the association for taking up this task.
As they say "A stitch in time saves nine", an effective action by us immediately would do a lot of good to us. It would not only save our plots from getting spoiled in the monsoon but would also discourage more such dumping.
For those of you who are away from city, we have taken some photographs of the Layout as on 22nd August 2009 and have posted them here.
We hope atleast those of you who see this blog would wake up and approach the association to take effective steps immediately.
Shall come up with more updates shortly.
Wishing you all the best
