Plea to review hike in guideline value of lands in Melvisharam

The Melvisharam Town Uplift Committee has appealed to the Tamil Nadu government to reconsider the steep hike in the guideline value of lands in Melvisharam town.

Muthu Rafeeque Ahmed, Secretary of the committee, said in a release that the public of Melvisharam have been affected by the steep hike in the guideline value of land in Melvisharam, effected by the government through an order. While the government order stated that the guideline value of lands has been increased by 40% to 60% with effect from April 1, in effect, the guideline value of land at Melvisharam town has been increased by 400% to 700%, which is contradictory to the claim made in the government order.

Citing examples of the hike, the secretary pointed out that the guideline value of land in Abdul Hakeem Road (Kathivadi Road), which was Rs.150 per square foot till March 31, has been increased to Rs.1,200 per square foot with effect from April 1, and this amounted to a 700% hike.

“We are unable to understand why such an abnormal burden has been imposed on the public of Melvisharam town alone”, said Mr. Ahmed, and appealed to the State government to reconsider the steep hike in the guideline value of lands in the town.

Melvisharam - Chennai Bus Diverted

Today, there was a problem in 7.40 am Visharam – Chennai bus and the bus conductor told me that here after the bus instead of coming to Visharam through by-pass from Arcot Bus Depot will go first to the Arcot Bus Stand and load passengers and will come to Visharam, all the way through the main road and will bound to Chennai from Visharam by-pass. It means that no Visharam passengers will be getting bus seats as it will be loaded in Arcot Bus Stand itself.

It is not clear about the 4.10 am and 6.20 am Visharam – Chennai buses. Will this buses also come loaded with passengers from Arcot and head to Chennai through Visharam? Everybody knows that it was a big effort to get the bus services from Visharam and so far, the Government has done little service to our town and now its officers are diverting that small government services from us.

People of Visharam, please, do something to stop diversion of this buses from its regular routes. If it is done, definitely we will be losing our grounds of what so far offered through the government.

Why 102B is not stopping at Apollo KH stop?

Thanks to Islamiah Welfare Association for their services towards local public. But, to bring the stopping at Apollo KH Hospital in Bye-Pass Road, everyone was eager to assist the IWA to bring bus stop there. Now the same general public, who’re travelling from Chennai, got tired from the nonsense reply from the bus conductors and are expecting from IWA to do something.

It is displayed on the board at the bus stop that which are the buses that will be stopping at this Apollo KH Stop. IWA have done a good job in bringing the bus stop, but there is a lot of loopholes that why a bus such as 102B is not stopping at the stop. To the interest of local people, IWA please clarify to the public whether the bus will stop or not there so as to avoid confusion / fighting with the conductor.

Contribute your 1-day salary to Crescent Welfare

Does 1-day salary of yours mean you very much? Is it so important to you that you can’t spend on anyone but for yours need? Hope it is not so. Now let me tilt the question. Does 1-day salary of yours mean nothing to you? Is it not so important to you that you spend on your needs? Then contribute your 1-day salary to help the society. Who says that you need to help only when you earn lacs? Earning thousands and helping/contributing tens is far better than a person earning lacs and contributing in tens. During the College day function in CAHCET, dynamic chief guest Mr.M.Mohamed Hashim, said some golden words. “How many of you really earn with a minute thought that you will be serving the society?” The answer seems to be very challenging.

In view of helping serving the society, let us join hands to contribute our 1-day salary to Crescent welfare association, who have been vigorously serving the society in all aspects. They have been helping the deserving students to fulfil their educational dreams. To be realistic and practical, my dream was also fulfilled by their generous contributions. It was all because of Almighty Allah, who through Crescent helped me, complete my graduation. Many are reaping the benefits from crescent welfare association. If you help any deserving persons, then that helping tendency will be injected into him, and in turn he will serve the society when he stands alone. To say in short “Serve the society, Contribute your 1-day salary”. To state the statistical data, there may be nearly at least 500 graduates in Melvisharam, and if in average 1-day salary are 300, then the contribution accounts to Rs 1, 50,000. This will satisfy most of the needy deserving persons. Do you want to be in the list of serving-society persons, then contribute. Am not saying to do for the fame, you can also contribute anonymously. Hope this triggers some of them at least to think of contributions a little. Contributions must be to the society, for the society, by the society.
