Bharathi Nagar residents seek lighting of park, effective drinking water supply
Residents of Bharathi Nagar in Tirunelveli have petitioned local officials for better park lighting and improved drinking water supply. The community reports that non-functional lights and erratic water distribution are significantly impacting their daily lives.
Why it matters
This reflects common urban infrastructure challenges and the role of local grievance redressal mechanisms in municipal governance.
Seeking proper lighting at the public park in Bharathi Nagar near Sarah Tucker College, a group of residents from this area in ward 41 of the Tirunelveli Corporation submitted petition to Deputy Mayor K.R. Raju on Tuesday during the weekly grievances redress meeting.
The petitioners said almost all the lights fitted in the park, used by a few hundred people everyday for the morning and evening stroll and by children, had remained non-functional for past several weeks to discourage the visitors to stay away from this spot. Since four street light poles had already been installed at as many vantage points of this park, the Corporation should fit solar-powered LED light panels on these poles to maintain at least minimum light after the dusk, considering the safety of the visitors.
