Mannaragudi MLA T.R.B. Raaja inviting Peraiyur VAO in a traditional manner to a site at Peraiyur on Saturday.
Angered by the absence of a Village Administrative Officer at a worksite at the time of inspection on Saturday, DMK MLA of Mannaragudi T.R.B.Raaja reached out to the latter in person and invited him with traditional a ‘ tamboolam ’.
Mr. Raaja went to the Tahsildar’s office where a meeting had been convened, and caused a flutter by thrusting the ‘ tamboolam ’ containing betel leaves and areca nuts into the hands of Peraiyur VAO Balasubramanian.
Earlier in the day, the MLA had gone to the village after receiving complaints from residents that the breadth of Vadavaru Extension Canal had been reduced by the contractor undertaking renovation under NABARD scheme at a cost of Rs. 9.72 crore to strengthen bunds to a length of 4.1 km with concrete lining. The residents had complained that the contractor had deposited red sand on the canal bund to shrink its width from 14 metres to 6 metres.
When the MLA invited the VAO over phone with a request to come to the work site with the records pertaining to the survey number of the canal, the latter had reportedly ignored the call.
An irked MLA went to the Tahsildar office after ascertaining the VAO’s presence there and reportedly invited the VAO to the worksite with controlled anger. The VAO accepted the invitation cordially with an assurance to accompany the MLA to the worksite during his next visit.
