Mattuthavani Bus stand Toilets - Charged me 3 Rs

Last time Collector Sagayam IAS or government comes and changes the corporation toilets in Mattuthavani bus stand to charge only Re.1 for the Toilets, but every time I go and they ask for Rs.3.

The passengers are in rush and they just want to complete their toilet work, so they just give Rs.3 and move on.

Isn't it Re.1? This will make people to go for toilets in open space automatically, if the officials do not take a look at it.

Moreover, it is not neat as well.

IAS training academy in Madurai first time for Disabled students only opened by U Sagayam IAS Madurai Collector

Armed with a post graduate degree in Public Administration, Ganesh Kumar, is a 29-year-old disabled youth from Madurai district whose long standing dream is to become a Collector. He wanted to pursue IAS, but lack of a training institute for people like him hindered his dreams. However, his dream is not far away, thanks to Madurai Collector U Sagayam for inaugurating an IAS training centre specially catering to the differently-abled people here on Saturday.

“In a first of its kind in the State, this training centre has been started in Madurai. We will also seek the state government’s assistance to run this centre”, he added.

“Dismiss the thought that only people with good English knowledge can succeed in government exams. Face the exams confidently in Tamil only then you can succeed,” said Sagayam.

Plastic usage banned by January 2011 in Madurai - Green Madurai

It is noted that plastic usage in Madurai is banned by January 1st 2011 by the previous Madurai Collector Mr.Kamaraj IAS. It is said the carry bags, storage items production and the usage is not to be done in any manner. Due to the bio-non-degradable nature of Plastics, it is said that

Instead only paper or leave products has to be used for carrying, food storage, serving etc., not plastic.

Though the rule or law is created and effective January 2011 it has to start. However with the elections and Government busy taking over etc., this is not taken care yet.

Even the awareness is not created among the people and also sufficient controlling measures by police or officials are not done yet in Madurai.

Respected Madurai Collector or Commissioner, can we know when this will be taken care? We, New Madurai Foundation, request you to do the needful. You will know better, but this is probably just a reminder or request!

Thanking you Sir's!

Madurai in improvement path with the Collector U Sagayam

Recently we are seeing news in Madurai very dramatic, very cinematic but all of them are true.

With the collector U Sagayam taking over, we are seeing good news in terms of improvement and regulating certain irregular things and rectifying many unlawful things.

We emailed Collector with a complaint about Mattuthavani bus stand and in just 2 or 3 days we heard that there was a raid in Mattuthavani Integrated Bus stand in Madurai. Many encroachments, untidiness and irregularities were pointed out. Action was/is taken for the consumer complaint.

Within couple of days Periyar bus stand and Arapalayam bus stands were also raided and action is being taken against irregularities.

In just couple of days, after KPN omni bus accident, there were checkups in the highways with omni bus for its standards and tax payments and various other formalities with omni buses.

This is all happenning with Collector doing his duty with the help of his officials and the help of Commissioner.

Looks like we are in great hands and things will come out great!!!

Collector sir - we are expecting much more like this and we wish you can make Madurai a New Madurai and a Great Madurai!!!
