@nramind Have first hand experienced this. Really need to reform the ticketing procedure and relax the norms so that everyone can access the park built on their tax money.
Tholkappia Poonga, a 58-acre Eco-park restored under public funds of Rs 42 crore, has in turn turned into a private walking club benefitting a few VIPs alone.
A small group of RWAs, locals and regular walkers have blocked almost all public entry slots on the booking webpage until April 20, preventing entry for city residents and tourists.
Chennai Rivers Restoration Trust (CRRT) sells individual entry tickets at ₹20 per slot — 6.30am to 8am and 4.30pm to 6pm. But the booking website shows the calendar is booked until April 20. Monthly and yearly passes are also not available until April 20. The website, however, still allows bookings for guided tours for corporates, NGOs and educational institutions between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
Many visitors, who turned up over weekends without tickets, were not permitted to enter the park. A board at the entrance says “online booking only”.
CRRT allows only 250 people allowed per slot. This means the park can take 500 visitors a day. Regular walkers have booked these slots through monthly and yearly passes until April. The next batch of bookings will open only after April 20.
Up to 50 tickets are reserved for spot bookings, but these are issued only if pass-holders do not turn up.
CRRT officials said they cannot do anything because the cap is 250 per slot and that regulars can be allowed only if the cap is increased.
@sumanthraman@Ethirajans She has implied how the actor views his fans. Just to show his mass not to reformise politics as he claims. Anyone sane and neutral can understand this, oh yeah, but not you!!
Here's a look at #DravidathaalNaan, a series featuring amazing journeys of people who's lives had been transformed as an outcome of the #DravidianIdeology which ensured equal opportunities to bring about #SocialJustice.
Am sure that this video of Dr Sudhagar's transformative journey from #Karur to #Scotland, to set his mark in the field of science will be truly inspiring for many future Sudhagars.
Great job @PEN_Offl 👏🏾

திராவிடத்தின் முக்கிய லட்சியமான அனைவருக்கும் கல்வி என்ற கொள்கையில் கல்வி கற்று, உலகமே வியக்கும் வகையில் அறிவியல் ஆய்வில் சாதனை புரிந்து வரும் ஸ்காட்லாந்து பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் உதவிப் பேராசிரியரான சுதாகர் பிச்சைமுத்துவின் கதையை @PEN_Offl தயாரித்துள்ள #திராவிடத்தால்நான் தொடரில் ஒரு அற்புதமான காணொலியாக வெளியிடுவதில் மகிழ்ச்சி. இத்தொடர் பலருக்கு பெரிய ஊக்கமளிக்கும் என்று நம்புகிறேன் 🙏🏾

This picture epitomises how I’m feeling right now. So many words but can’t find the right ones to express what yesterday meant to me but I will, and I will share them, but right now I’m basking in a dream come true for a billion of us. ❤️🏆
