TNSTC revives bus service for farmers after deputy CM's directive
Theni: Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) has started operating buses from various areas in Theni district to the 'Uzhavar Sandhai' for farmers to transport their produce free of cost. The move comes after deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin issued instructions to revive bus services, following an appeal made by farmers in Theni district on Monday. Udhayanidhi was in Theni on Monday to chair a review meeting with various departments regarding developmental works and the implementation of govt schemes. During the meeting, he urged officials to speed up all works concerning the welfare of the public and to act as a bridge between the state govt and the common people. He also distributed welfare aid worth 13.49 crore to 851 beneficiaries, including house pattas worth 2.96 crore to 578 beneficiaries, and other assistance. During the meeting, a group of farmers submitted a petition to him seeking his help in resuming govt bus service to 'Uzhavar Sandhai' for transporting their fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. The farmers pointed out that earlier govt buses were being operated for farmers, and they were able to transport their produce without charges for the load. However, these services stopped during the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking note of the issue faced by the farmers, Udhayanidhi directed TNSTC to operate buses to 'Uzhavar Sandhai'. In its inaugural run, the bus ran via Periyakulam, Jeyamangalam, Pinnathevanpatti, Sokkathevanpatti, and Annanchi to reach the 'Uzhavar Sandhai'. On Tuesday, the bus will also run from Mayiladumparai, Kadamalaikundu, and Nagalapuram to reach 'Uzhavar Sandhai'. Later, the deputy CM inspected the facilities at the govt students' hostel run by the backward classes, most backward classes and minorities welfare department, at Aathankaraipatti near Periyakulam. He interacted with the students at the hostel and instructed the staff to ensure proper maintenance and work for students' welfare and upliftment.

TN Govt Collects 300 MT Waste from Govt Offices in Special Drive
Status: cleared Chennai: Tamil Nadu govt on Thursday collected over 300 metric tonnes of waste from 1,100 govt offices across the state, including the state secretariat. The initiative, launched under the "Thooimai Iyakkam" (Cleanliness Movement), coincided with World Environment Day on June 5 and marks the beginning of a larger, phased campaign. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Special programme implementation department minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said the initiative was kicked off in all 38 districts. "We have created a war room in GCC's headquarters to monitor the activities," he said, adding that the drive will also expand to colleges, hospitals, and schools in the next ten days. The drive was spearheaded by the newly established Clean Tamil Nadu Company Limited (CTCL), which aims to streamline the collection, recycling, and reuse of waste across state departments. Offices of district collectors, corporations, municipalities, panchayat unions, and various other departments participated in the effort, handing over pre-segregated waste including plastics, e-waste, metals, paper, glass, and unusable furniture. Udhayanidhi said the initiative must be a long-term one, seeking support from members of the public. Officials said all collected waste will be processed in the composting centres and will either be recycled or reused. The special projects department has also released guidelines to all govt offices to carry out cleaning drives every week and segregate the waste. Udhayanidhi said measures to improve the initiative, including funding, will be discussed. Earlier this week, the govt released a video on solid waste management awareness featuring actor Yogi Babu on waste segregation and disposal. MSID:: 121652283 413 |
