Members of the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK), founded by rationalist leader Periyar E V Ramasamy, today organised a protest demonstration, demanding action against self-styled fake ‘godmen,’ who take gullible people for a ride.
Led by DK President K Veeramani, the agitators urged the Centre and state governments to initiate criminal action against such ‘godmen,’ who cheat the public in the name of spirituality.
Mr Veeramani said the government, besides initiating criminal action, should also confiscate their properties.
The Income Tax Department should also raid the ‘godmens’ ashrams and other premises, trace their sources of income and bring them under the tax net.
Senior leader Suba Veerapandian, addressing the agitators, said ”godmen” who were supposed to be leading a simple life, giving up all comforts, were, instead, enjoying a luxurious life.
The DK activists organised the agitation in the wake of the electronic media’s exposURE of the sleazy acts, allegedly involving self-styled ‘godman’ Swami Nityananda with a popular Tamil actress, a few days back.

Posted by ganesh in Chennai, Departments, Information, Other, PWD, Transport, government, programme on March 11th, 2010
Work on the Perambur flyover is almost over and is expected to be opened for traffic by the end of this month.
The flyover is likely to be opened after the Pennagaram elections, which is scheduled for March 27, Mayor M. Subramanian told The Hindu. The painting work, laying of bituminous tar and installation of lights, including two high-mast lamps, have been completed on the three arms of the 1120-m-long flyover. On the railway portion the concrete work has been completed, he added.
“The flyover had been a challenge for the Corporation but with the able guidance of Deputy Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, the civic body’s Bridges Department and contractor were able to complete it,” he added.
The work order for the bridge was issued on May 7, 2008 and the period of construction was supposed to be 20 months. The work is expected to be completed this weekend.
Open foundation with very large footings has been used to ensure stability of the flyover. There are 76 lamp-posts on the flyover, which has been constructed at a total cost of Rs.51 crore. Shifting of water lines alone costs the Chennai Corporation Rs.3.50 crore and Rs.7.50 crore went towards land acquisition.
Officials said that two new roads are being formed — a loop road from the Jamalia side to Ayanavaram — which is 350-m-long and 12 m wide. On the north side, Tank Bund Road and Perambur High Road are being connected with a 120-m-long and 15-m-wide road. Footpaths have been provided on all roads around the flyover.
On the traffic arrangements, a senior official of the civic body said that once the flyover was inaugurated, a clover leaf pattern would be put in place for traffic movement. “After studying the traffic we have also created extra road space. Signages would be placed for the benefits of the motorists,” he said.
The bridge has three segments — the arm towards Jamalia has a single lane; the Ayanavaram side has three lanes (two lanes go up and one lane comes down); and on the Perambur side there are four lanes (two each for traffic moving on either sides).

The Tamil Nadu government should set up a defence park near Madurai to take advantage of the country’s offset policy, the state chapter of industry lobby Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) says.
‘We have submitted a proposal to set up an defence industrial park near Madurai to union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers M.K. Alagiri. This is one more effort to industrialise southern Tamil Nadu,’ C.K.Ranganathan, chairman of the Tamil Nadu State Council, told reporters here Wednesday.
Under India’s defence offset policy, if the equipment acquisition value exceeds Rs.300 crore, products equivalent to 30 percent of the contract value have to be locally manufactured.
Appreciating the Tamil Nadu government’s health insurance scheme for poor people, Ranganathan urged the state to offer attractive incentives for hospitals to be built in rural areas.
‘Without incentives, hospitals in rural areas are not viable,’ he remarked.
According to Ranganathan, CII-Tamil Nadu’s suggestion to formulate an industry-wise policy has been accepted by the state government.
He said CII is now studying cost-effective ways of making cities better places to in live through its City Connect programme.
