The Collectorate premises will now become more spacious, thanks to the District Collector for directing officials to remove the seized vehicles parked here. On Sunday, the officials began removing the vehicles to the respective enforcement agency offices. Collector V. Palanikumar on Saturday inspected all the departments and the entire Collectorate premises to assess the facilities available for the visiting public. On seeing the vehicles around the Collectorate building, Mr. Palanikumar said that the vehicles seized for smuggling contraband (especially rice meant for supply under Public Distribution System) should not be parked on the premises.
He pointed out that the vehicles parked without any protection from rain or shine had turned out to be iron scrap. Besides, there was no space for the visitors to park their vehicles and the lack of movement space had made the premises congested. Whenever Ministers or higher officials conduct review meetings or during the grievances day programmes for the public and farmers, the Collectorate premises turned jam-packed. Mr. Palanikumar asked District Revenue Officer S. Prabhakaran to tell the enforcement agencies to remove the vehicles to their offices. The Collector exhorted the officials to have a dustbin for every department and a system of collecting garbage every morning to keep the premises clean. He also asked the officials to clear the heaps of garbage at various places.
