A few alumni of a private nursing college near Pollachi on Monday approached the district administration seeking help in getting their course completion certificates.

The alumni led by M. Sangeetha told the administration at the grievances redress meeting that 18 alumni, who had completed the course during 2013-16 and five more from their senior batch, were yet to get the registered nurses and registered midwives (RN, RM) certificates from their alma mater. The failure to get the certificates had prevented them from either pursuing higher studies or taking up jobs. Their pleas to the college administration had not yielded any result.

As they approached the Pollachi Sub Collector on August 28 and didn’t get any solution, they approached the district administration, the alumni said.

‘Withdraw move to

hike property tax’

Welfare Party of India cadre petitioned the district administration seeking withdrawal of the move by the Corporation to hike property tax by 50 % – 100%. In their petition, the cadre said the civic body was trying to overcome the financial stress it was reeling under by trying to hike property tax.

The cadre claimed that the move was illegal because the Corporation was taking the decision in the absence of an elected Council.

To condemn the move, they were presenting the petitions armed with begging bowls, the cadre said.

They urged the district administration to prevail upon the Corporation to give up the tax revision move.

Plea to stop illegal

sale of liquor

All India Youth Federation has urged the district administration to stop the illegal sale of liquor and drugs.

In a petition, Federation’s district secretary V. Vasanthakumar alleged the sale of drugs was widely prevalent in schools, colleges and liquor sale was going on unchecked in roadside eateries.

This posed a serious threat to students’ future, the petition said and sought stringent action against those who indulged in the illegality.
