Save Perumal Teppakulam At Madurai

SAVE PERUMAL TEPPAKKULAM AT MADURAI

Recently I had been to Madurai. While walking along with my brotherin law in Town hall road , we wanted to look the water level in Perumal teppakkulam
as lot of efforts were there by previous govt. in rainwater harvesting and pouring it into teppakkulam. We found that the Teppakkulam was completely surrounded by shops in all the four sides. There was only a very narrow space at the south eastern side as approach to it. We went through that passage and found a shocking atmosphere.
It was a Sunday. At western side, the bank of the Teppakkulam was shrunk
And illegal construction was going on by encroachment. While we were looking into it suddenly a lady appeared and asks us to get inside. We shock to notice that there was a small passage which lead into the gap of periphery wall of Teppakkulam. We understood what is going on there and who was the Lady. The entrance to the Teppakkulam is controlled by criminals. Between the gap of shops and periphery wall of the tank four square streets were established as Red light area. The activities are not visible from out side as the Teppakkulam is completely covered by shops from all the four sides.
We are sure if the condition is allowed for some more time the tank will vanish.
This is the high time to save the Teppakkulam.
All shops surrounding the tank must be removed from all the four sides and
Water filled tank must appear for darshan of devotees and tourists.
Tepporsavam should be conducted for Koodal Alagar Perumal.
The above request is for the perusal of all the members please.
With regards…
