Sir, Water has been gushing out like a spring from a damaged underground Metrowater pipeline opposite Panagal Park for the past several days. Temporary measures taken by nearby vendors to plug the leakage have been futile. Will the authorities take action to fix the leakage and save precious water from getting wasted? Sankari Suriyanarayanan, 18, Wason Street, T. Nagar Appeal to relocate Lake View Road ration shop Sir, The ration shop no. HC009 which was in a dilapidated condition was to be shifted to a new location on Lake View Road. However, the decision was rescinded at the last minute and it is now operating out of shop no. HC007 which is located in a makeshift shed. This has burdened the consumers as the shop is not able to handle the additional quota and they are forced to stand in long queues. Moreover there are a couple of industrial units and a poorly maintained canteen close-by who are not keeping the surroundings clean. At night the surroundings are converted into an open urinal. The issue was also brought to the notice of V. P. Kalairajan (T. Nagar MLA) in November last year and he had spoken to the Asst. Commissioner (Civil Supplies). The Association had also written a number of letters to the AC with copies to higher officials. However no action has been taken so far to find a new location for Shop HC009. V.N.S. Jayaraman, Secretary, T. Nagar Residents Welfare Association, 30, Rangan Street, T. Nagar White board bus on route 12C after report in Mambalam Times Sir, I thank Mambalam Times for publishing my letters regarding my appeal to MTC for introducing white board MTC buses (ordinary fare) on Route 12C between Valsaravakkam and Mylapore. After the publication of the letters, MTC officials have introduced white board buses on the route for the benefit of the passengers. I even got this fact ratified with an MTC official. MTC had only been plying deluxe buses on the 12C route whose fare is much higher compared to the white board (ordinary fare) buses. It is a popular route for a number of students, office goers and senior citizens like me who regularly visit temples en route. A. Venkitachalam, 21, Abdul Aziz Street, T. Nagar REQUEST TO READERS!
