‘Take steps to reopen Sterlite Copper based on experts' recommendations'
The Sterlite Copper supporters said the district administration and the Tamil Nadu Government should take immediate steps for its re-opening after implementing the recommendations of the experts. In a petition submitted in the Collector's Office on Wednesday, the Sterlite Copper supporters said a team of experts had recently given their recommendations on the remedial measures to be taken for the 'green reopening and operation' of Sterlite Copper which remains closed since May 2018 after the anti-Sterlite protest became violent that led to the killing of 13 persons in police firing. These recommendations include environment conservation, sustainable and social development of the people of Thoothukudi and the development of industrial scenario in the port town. Since these recommendations are based on scientific facts, the State Government should take positive steps for implementing these suggestions to ensure the reopening of Sterlite Copper considering the livelihood of thousands of people associated with this factory. 'After the Sterlite Copper was closed down, thousands of people have been rendered jobless while the State and the Central Governments have suffered huge revenue loss. While importance is given for attracting foreign direct investments, due attention should be paid for conserving the domestic industries and reviving the closed down manufacturing units after taking due scientific remedial measures. Even as copper manufacturing is going on other States of India, Sterlite Copper has been allowed to erode and its workers have been forced to move to various parts of India in search of employment. Hence, the district administration, with the guidance of Tamil Nadu Government, should take positive steps for the early reopening of Sterlite Copper after allowing the factory management to translate the experts' recommendations into action,' the petition said. Thoothukudi People Livelihood Movement, Lorry Owners' Association, Sterlite Contract Workers' Union, Confederation of Thoothukudi District Micro, Small and Medium Industries, Confederation of Women Self-Help Groups of Thoothukudi District and various fishermen cooperative societies had signed in the petition submitted in the Collector's Office.

Senior property tax relief applications open Monday
Eligible senior citizens will be able to fill out an application to freeze future increases on their real estate property taxes next week. The Senior Citizen Tax Credit program, signed into law by the Buchanan County Commission, allows taxpayers over 62-years-old to apply for credits that cap future real property tax increases. There will be two applications open for eligible seniors who have owned their home since Jan. 1 of last year and for those who owned their home since Jan. 1, 2025. 'If you were 62 and owned your home on the first (day) of 2024 when we started this process, your taxes can be frozen at the 2024 rate,' Collector of Revenue Peggy Campbell explained. Those interested in applying in person can visit the Buchanan County Courthouse starting next Monday, March 3. However, the online application process opens this Saturday, March 1. Applications will be accepted through June 30, 2025. Applicants should be prepared to bring their driver's license, a copy of the deed to their home and proof of residency, for example a tax or utility bill. 'You have to live in that property, you have to be the owner of that property, and you have to be 62,' Campbell said. 'Those are the three things that we're looking for.' Buchanan County can only apply the credit to future increases in real estate property taxes, so there will not be a refund for taxes paid in previous years. The Buchanan County Commission met with office holders, who created the application earlier this month, to finalize the process. Representatives from the Buchanan County Assessor's office, Collector's office, Recorder of Deeds office and the County Clerk's offices discussed what information needed to be included in the application. 'We had a little bit of input into it,' Eastern District Commissioner Scott Burnham said. 'But I think it really was more about getting that group together so we could make it as concise as possible.' Information about the Senior Property Tax relief applications can be found under the Collector's Office section of the Buchanan County website at
