Former Speaker Chellapandian’s statue at Vannerpet here was removed on Tuesday to facilitate the early completion of the overbridge being constructed at this busy junction at the cost of over Rs. 16 crore.
Since vehicular traffic at Chellapandian traffic island at Vannarpet here is very high at any given time, the State Government sanctioned the construction of an overbridge at this junction at a cost of over Rs. 16 crore following a representation from Mayor A.L. Subramanian.
Though the number of vehicles passing through this point from east to west or vice-versa is very high, it was decided to construct the overbridge in the north-south direction since any move to build the concrete structure in east-west direction might have triggered a series of litigation against land acquisition. Even after construction of the overbridge reached the final stage, the statue, which was unveiled on April 20, 1995, was not removed to facilitate the ongoing construction.
Following the sustained efforts made by Collector M. Jayaraman, experts from the Department of Highways and Archaeology inspected the statue and checked its strength and the pedestal on which the life-size statue is standing.
Based on the report submitted by the team, it was decided to remove the statue and keep it safely in the Government Museum near the District Police Office till the construction is over. Subsequently, work on removing the statue commenced.
“Once construction of the overbridge is completed, the statue will be reinstalled there,

The wind data of Aduthurai was encouraging. If the wind speed was above 3m/sec, it starts generating AC voltage with a variable frequency which is rectified to DC voltage and then inverted to 230 V single phase 50 Hz, he said.
Managing Director of the Company Vimal Arockyaraj Vincent said the company has provided hybrid street light to rain drop boat house at Mudaliarkuppam, off East Coast Road, near Chennai.

The officials said many of the railway stations in Tiruchirapalli division falling under the rural distribution network of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board(TNEB) were facing power cuts and to overcome this one 500 VA capacity solar system-based inverter has been provided to cater power requirement of UPS during power shut down.

A group of prisoners went on the rampage damaging bulbs in the cells and clashed with each other leaving eight injured in the high-security Palayamkottai Central Prison, here last night.
Police sources said the prison authorities and the police conducted surprise checks in the cells, housing undertrials and convicts, following complaints that the inmates were using mobile phones stealthily inside the prison complex.
Objecting to the search, notorious gangster D Azhagar (35) alias Valarntha Azhagar, who is undergoing life imprisonment in connection with the sensational murder of former DMK Minister Aladi Aruna, indulged in wordy duel with the officials and at one stage damaged the bulb in his cell and attempted to manhandle the officials.
His associates, lodged in separate cells in the block, also went on rampage attacking the other inmates. Eight prisoners, who suffered minor injuries in the incident, were treated at the prison hospital.
Though the situation was under control, Azhagar and his associates refused to take breakfast this morning as a mark of protest over the search in their cells.
The Principal Sessions Court, Tirunelveli, had awarded death sentence to Azhagar and his associate P Balamurugan (34) on April 18, 2008, for murdering Aladi Aruna and his friend R Ponraj in 2004.
S A Raja, a key accused in the case and Chairman of Rajas Group of Educational Institutions, was acquitted.
However, on August 5, 2009, the Madurai bench of Madras High Court commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence awarded by the trial court on an appeal by Azhagar, who prayed for quashing of the death sentence awarded to him in the case.
