'Mini Corporation on the move' concept
Coimbatore Corporation plans to take its services to the public, rather than making them come to its offices to avail of these or to request for amenities.
The civic body has hit upon a `Mini Corporation on the move' concept under which officials and workers from all its departments will go to the wards to sort out problems ranging from a leaking water line to non-assessment of buildings for tax. The slogan will be "Petition in the morning, solution by evening".
"Ideally, the works should begin at 7.30 a.m. and go on till 5 p.m.," says Mayor R. Venkatachalam. "Scavengers and workers in the engineering wing will remove silt from drainage canals, clear garbage and fill potholes. Plumbers will fix leaks in water lines and contractors will be asked to repair faulty streetlights," the Mayor says while listing out the works that will be carried out during such one-day Corporation-public interface to solve ward-level problems.
Two or three wards will be taken up every week so that on-the-spot solutions are provided in all the 72 wards in about six months. The Mayor feels that this may help in reducing the complaints that are brought to Council meetings by councillors.
