As mentioned above, it is very surprising to see that Trichy is selected as number 2 in cleanliness. Either the entire country is much worse than here or the rating is completely wrong. Just a simple walking on any area, even within the heart of the city can show anyone how worse it is maintained. All open plots are invariably maintained as dumping yards by it's own neighbours, corporation personnel can be seen only when they visit the area for collecting money for festivals, Sanitary inspector (!) of each area only he knows what he is doing for the amount we pay to them as salary from our income tax and corporation tax. Almost everything and everyone from corporation are there for the sake of being there without realizing their roles and responsibilities. Better to dissolve all these systems and taxes and make it as paid service through private participation! Not sure why and for what we are paying more than 12K per annum as Tax to Corporation! No Sanitation anywhere except for the days and areas where so-called politicians make a visit!
I still wonder how Trichy was selected as number 2 in cleanliness index. It does not requires the rating. Even the stroll along the streets and roads will show the effectiveness of the Municipal Corporation. Very Poor road Traffic arrangements in main places like Central Bus stand, Main Guard Gate, & Chatram Bus Stand. The arrangements is a chaos: Instead of de-congesting the above main 3 locations, they are busy in erecting median on the roads without erecting over head pedestrian crossing.
