With the formation of Chengalpet district, Tambaram and Pallavaram taluks, which are currently under Kancheepuram district, could be annexed to Chennai district, sources said. Chengalpet, Sriperumbudur, Tirukazhukundram and Uthiramerur taluks will be part of Chengalpet district, said sources. The government is, however, yet to take a decision regarding annexing Pallavaram and Tambaram to Chennai district.
Until 1997, Chengalpet was a district headquarters and Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur taluks were under it. But when the district was bifurcated and Tiruvallur was carved out as a separate district, Chengalpet lost the district headquarters status to Kancheepuram.
Tenkasi district is likely to have Tenkasi, Sengottai, Sivagiri, Sankarankoil and Veerakeralampudur taluks. As per the 2011 census, Tenkasi and Chengalpet have a population of 70,545 and 62,569. Tenkasi is an assembly constituency as well as a Lok Sabha constituency and is a major tourist attraction as Courtallam falls is just 5km away.
Tirunelveli district formed in 1790 is being divided for the second time. In 1986 it was split to form Tuticorin district. The present Tirunelveli district, which measures 6,759sqkm, is one of the biggest in terms of area. Welcoming the creation of the new district, people of Tenkasi felt it could attract industries and generate more jobs.
Meanwhile, people of Kumbakonam have been upset that their demand for a separate district has been ignored yet again. In terms of revenue, population and heritage, Kumbakonam stands on top of the table, former secretary of Thanjavur District Small and Tiny Industries Association, A Giri, said. Revenue minister R B Udayakumar said the government would soon make an announcement about formation of Kumbakonam district.
Officials will visit areas, redress grievances
Chief minister Palaniswami on Thursday said a new grievance redressal mechanism – chief minister’s special grievance redressal scheme — would be put in place by August. Under the scheme, officials would visit urban and rural areas to redress grievances of people. District collectors would announce the dates of officials’ visits to each region. Officials from rural development, revenue, municipal administration/ corporation and other departments would take part. They will collect petitions from people and resolve them within a month, he said. TNN
