Power cut - Reader's Mail

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) has no foresight. Power cut every day for long hours is horrible. TNEB should supply UPS converter free to consumers.

Erode is facing acute coin shortage. There is scarcity of one rupee coin everywhere in the town. It is not easy to get balance from hotels, shops or bus conductors unless we pay them one or two one-rupee coins. Some hotels and shops have displayed boards that coins will be purchased on payment of commission. Before the situation becomes worse, banks should rush to the rescue of the public and release sufficient quantity of coins of smaller denomination.

Ayudha Puja was celebrated by traders and business communities in a grand way. As part of the celebration, pumpkins were broken on the roads, despite a ban on that to avert accidents. It is not enough to enact a law, it should be enforced too. Otherwise, the very purpose of enacting a law will be defeated.

This is with reference to the report ‘Yellow circles on city roads’ to caution motorists and others. I suggest that yellow circles be for the accident survivors and red circles for those who lost their lives in accidents.
