The Tiruchi City Corporation has begun issuing notices to residents for the payment of property taxes through post. The civic body has requested the cooperation of the Department of Posts to ensure that the notices are delivered to all residents.
Speaking to The Hindu, S. Sivasubramanian, City Corporation Commissioner, said that the initiative was taken as residents complained of not receiving notices. “There needs to be a foolproof method to issue important documents and communication. Many residents complain of not being informed,” he said. Several such residents have flagged these concerns with various officials of the civic body. To keep it in check we have handed over the notices to the Head Post Office which has already begun dispatching them, he added.
A total of 3 lakh notices have been handed over and will reach residents across the city in a few days, Mr. Sivasubramanian said. “It is the duty of the civic body to ensure that the notices are sent. Taking the help of the postal department is a step in that direction,” he added.
