Effective implementation of scheme The Chief Minister recently launched the Thayumanavar Scheme, under which ration products are to be delivered at the doorsteps of senior citizens aged 70 and above, and differently abled persons. However, despite being 83 years old, I am yet to receive any such delivery. Since the age details of all cardholders are already available in the family card database, there should be no need for a separate application process. Insisting on fresh applications only adds to the hardship of senior citizens and defeats the purpose of the scheme. I appeal to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to direct officials to identify eligible beneficiaries from existing data and ensure doorstep delivery of ration items without delay. This would truly make the scheme a boon for the elderly. Asmabagh Anvardeen, Ramanathapuram Safety concern A large number of two-wheelers and autorickshaws coming from Malaikoil Road are seen entering the Palani bus terminus through its exit gate, instead of using the designated outer road to reach Railway Feeder Road. These vehicles move in the opposite direction through the first platform, where buses bound for Oddanchatram and Kanakkampatti are stationed, creating panic among passengers, especially the elderly, women, and children. Such reckless riding not only violates traffic norms but also endangers public safety. The traffic authorities must take stringent action against violators and impose hefty fines. Installation of a prominent “No Entry” board at the exit point of the terminus would also help prevent such repeated violations. M. Sainithii
