Thantirayamkuppam, 6th February 2008

We live since soon 8 years in Thantirayamkuppam and since the beginning we had some big problems with this village.

On ten occasions at least, I came to the office of Kottakuppam to ask that there is not garbage anymore behind our place, every time I should have cleaned the garbage of this village. Only one time the employees of Kottakupam came to remove this garbage, a few months ago, since that is even worse!

This garbage attracts the mosquitoes, the rats and the dogs, in more that stinks! It is a shame!
It is therefore a public health question that is the government's responsibility.

Question : why don't you put a dustbin in cement?

Now, before our land it is more and more dirty and no one clean either, it is a real scandal.

Question : why don't the municipality’s employees who clean the streets of the village don't go until the tip of the village, therefore after our land?

Another important problem.

It makes more than two years that the road that arrived until our home has been destroyed by the sea. To the office of Kottakuppam one told to me that a new road would be made quickly, since more nothing.

Question: how long is this intolerable situation going to last?

Another important problem.

There are more twenty roaming dogs currently in the village of which 15 puppies. I came to the office of Kottakuppam to ask that catch these dogs, but nothing was done like any time ! 

Now each night we are disturbed because these dogs barking and we can't sleep.

I ask you to come and catch immediately the 15 puppies and there mothers, it's very easy.

I summarize

1 - To take off the garbage
2 - To install a cement dustbin back our place
3- Give the instruction to your staff of cleaning the streets of the village until our place
4- Catch the 15 dogs and puppies of this village.
5- Build a new road even in red earth

These problems can be settled very easily and very quickly without spending a lot of money, it is just a question of will and responsibility.
We intend on you to settle these problems.

You must understand that we cannot accept to live surrounded by garbage, savage dogs, and to have no road to reach our place.

If he it was not managed, I will send this complaint to the Welfare Minister of Tamil Nadu government in Chennai and to the medias.

With our best regards.

Sir, 

Ten days after having given this letter to the person responsible of the Kottakuppam office, only the garbage has partially been cleaned, absolutely for the rest nothing has been made!

On two occasions I crossed the municipal employees who clean the streets of the village, I asked them to come to clean at home, but they didn't make it: they wait me for money and I won't give some to them!

The person responsible of Kottakuppam asked an employee to install cement dustbins: one always waits!

The dogs barking and barking every night because this stupid fishers!

Three days ago I fell off motorcycle because there is not a road to go until at home, there again, I received no answer, it is unbearable!

I ask you to settle these urgent problems.

With our best regards.
