Love for Malayalam literature motivates 70-year-old's return to world of letters
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Bhageerathi Amma was 105 years old and Karthyayani Amma was 96 when they became poster women of the state's literacy movement by passing its examinations with top marks. Their stories have inspired many elderly persons in the state to return to the world of letters after decades. Chandramani C is one such senior citizen. At the age of 70, she has passed the Class X and also the Class XII equivalency exams with flying colours and going a step further, has also found wings to her literary ambitions. A native of Mampazhakkara in Neyyatinkara taluk of Thiruvananthapuram, Chandramani came to know of the State Literacy Mission's Class X equivalency programme five years ago through her former ward councilor Jaya Dali. Though hesitant at first, it was the firm backing of her husband Sudarshanan K, a daily wage labourer, that prompted the reticent homemaker to give it another try at academics. 'I failed in my SSLC exam when I was 15. This was soon after my mother's death. In those days, failure in Class X exam means a full stop to your academic dreams,' Chandramani said. Her love for Malayalam literature and stories of veterans like Bhageerathi Amma and Karthyayani Amma ignited the fire within her to study again. Though taunted occasionally by members of her age group, Chandramani did not step back.

Councillors flag delay in road restoration, waste collection lapses
Madurai: The long delays in restoring roads damaged by the ongoing AMRUT Mullaperiyar drinking water project, and inefficient garbage collection by the agency assigned for solid waste management dominated the Madurai corporation council meeting on Tuesday. Councillors urged officials to fast-track pipeline-related tasks and ramp up workforce deployment across the city. The councillors expressed frustration at roads remaining dug up for months in core as well as extension areas. Officials said that nearly 92% of AMRUT pipeline work was over in extension areas, while progress in the core city was around 70%. Madurai South zonal chairperson Mugesh Sharma said many road works that were inaugurated weeks ago have failed to pick up speed. "The work that came to a halt during the Chithirai festival has never resumed in full swing. The contractor is sending just one or two workers a day, and the pace is far too slow," he said. North zonal chairperson Saravana Bhuvaneshwari highlighted the difficulties faced by residents living on poramboke land and others without patta. "They are being denied pipeline connections. Even those who apply for new connections are facing undue delays due to the inefficiency of contractors," she said. Corporation commissioner Chitra Vijayan assured that access to water would not be denied based on land ownership, and alternative measures are being planned.

"Water supply is being given on a trial basis, but frequent pipeline bursts are being reported. We need more manpower for testing and supply stabilisation. Meter installation issues also remain unresolved," she said. Several councillors complained that the private agency handling solid waste management had reduced its efforts after night-time cleaning operations were introduced. Councillor Arun Kumar of ward 53 said the south and central zones were most affected. "The agency skips morning cleaning, claiming they completed work at night. Their attitude is lethargic," he said. Ward 40 councillor J Manickam said around 600 permanent corporation workers were reassigned to the agency, but waste management has not improved. "We receive daily complaints from residents," he said. Councillors also pointed out that the number of workers currently deployed is based on outdated 2019 surveys. Commissioner Chitra Vijayan said the corporation will hold talks with the agency and convene a meeting to address the issues raised. Road work before pipeline completion Opposition councillors raised concerns over road relaying in North and West zone areas even before completion of AMRUT drinking water pipeline work. They warned that freshly laid roads could be dug up again within months, as Mullaperiyar drinking water project is scheduled for completion only by December. AIADMK floor leader M Solai Raja pointed out that key pipeline works are pending in areas where minister P Moorthy recently launched road projects. He also criticised the installation of manual water meters, claiming they could lead to manipulation. Commissioner Chitra Vijayan assured that the works would be coordinated and roads would only be laid after completion of underground pipeline works.
