Hi,
This is a commendable effort. I congratulate Mylapore times on this. i have just one request though. Would you be tracking what happens OF these issues that have been raised? We know the MLA is going to meet up with respective people...
That would be great to promote transparency in the government. Something that we lack.
THank you,

Yes indeed.
Mylapore Times will track the key issues/projects that the MLA promises / plans / wants to promote.
It isnt an easy job considering the fact that a newspaper like ours has much more to do than run a MLA's watch.
Thankfully, a group of young researchers and activists are now planning to work with the MLA and also track the issues and these people may well send us feedback.
It is also the job of people to keep a tab and any feedback is welcome.
Unfortunately, deducing from the outcome at two face-to-face meetings that the MLA has taken part in, people continue to talk about broken streetlights and speed breakers and encroachments when mush larger issues need to be planned, talked and debated at the MLA level.

It has been more than a month since the issue was raised. What is the feedback/response on increasing MTC buses through Mandavelipakkam??
