Pearl City Beach dedicated to Tuticorin populace

An instance of volunteering services of the police, says SP; it was created involving 200 police including women

 

The silver jubilee programme to mark the bifurcation of Tuticorin from Tirunelveli organised by the Tuticorin police, got off to a colourful start with a series of fireworks lighting up the sky on Sunday evening. Dedicating the Pearl City Beach, which has been established by the police on beach road here, to the Tuticorin populace, Superintendent of Police J. Rajendran said the police personnel had been rendering public service beyond the tasks assigned to them. Under the initiative of Mr. Rajendran, the Pearl City beach, which was previously termed as ‘police beach,’ was created involving 200 police personnel including women police. Taking pride in it, he said except Chennai no other coastal district across Tamil Nadu had witnessed such volunteering services of the police to set up a beach.

Electricity connections had been made at the beach in public interest. Drinking water connections had been made at 48 police stations across the district and the public had been utilising them well. Many of those involved in criminal activities had undergone social reformation, he said. Stressing upon reformation, he said a ‘silent revolution’ is on in Tuticorin.

 Meanwhile, he informed that spot fine system has come in to effect in Tuticorin and the police would crackdown on drunken drivers and helmetless drivers soon. With traffic regulations in effect to ease out congestion, vehicular traffic flow is being maintained in arterial roads of Tuticorin town.

A high score of 95 and 99 in academic subjects alone would not be the deciding factor for any student to achieve high ranks in civil services. Anybody with self confidence in achieving the target would be able to achieve the desired results, he said.

District Revenue Officer S. Amirtha Jothi spoke on the role of parenting. Nowadays, students at schools are becoming victims of pressure exerted by teachers and parents. Every student has to be provided with a chance to act on his or her own interest in choosing subjects to pursue higher education. It was unfortunate that desires of children were scuttled since they could not act on their own. Students of various educational institutions, police personnel and their children put up various shows on stage during the programme. Earlier, resounding reception was accorded to Collector Ashish Kumar and District Revenue Officer S. Amirtha Jothi.
