The government has extended by 15 days the deadline for filling the Know Your Customer (KYC) form by LPG consumers to November 15.
In a nationwide exercise to weed out multiple or ghost connections, the state-owned oil firms had previously asked their domestic cooking gas (LPG) distributors to collect and verify duly filled KYC forms from the consumers by October 31.
“We have now decided to extend the deadline by 15 days to November 15,” a senior Oil Ministry official said here.
The drive is to weed out multiple connections at same address follow last month’s government decision to cap supply of subsidised LPG to six cylinders per household in a year.
The official said oil firms are implementing the policy of ‘one household, one connection’ and have asked consumers to voluntarily give up additional connections.
Multiple LPG connections in the ‘same name and at the same address’ as well as ‘husband and wife’ owning connections at the same address would be summarily disconnected.
In case of multiple connections at same address under different names, distributors have been asked to collect KYC forms to verify genuine users.
Consumers in the KYC form have to gives all the necessary details like name, date of birth, father’s name, mother’s name, spouse name, complete address with pin-code and also optional information about bank details. They have to submit self-attested photocopies of address and ID proof along with the filled in form.
The official said transfer of LPG connection to family members during lifetime would be permitted, subject to certain conditions.
Also, transfer of LPG connections to legal heir in case of death of consumers would henceforth be done through a self-declaration by the next of kin and death certificate. Previously, legal heir/succession certificate was required.
“All LPG consumers are eligible for three subsidised domestic cylinders during the remaining part of the current year ending March 31, 2013,” the official said.
New subsidised LPG connections will be issued after completion of the KYC formalities and multiple connection check.

From April 1, next year, LPG consumers can avail six domestic subsidised LPG refill cylinders in a financial year.
There will be no restriction on the number of domestic non-subsidised cylinders that consumers can avail, beyond the six subsidised cylinders to meet their genuine demand.

[edit]History

Map of Trichinopoly municipality and its wards, 1907
The municipality of Tiruchirapalli was inaugurated by the Town Improvements Act 1865 on November 1, 1866 and included the civil station as well as the Trichinopoly Cantonment. The municipality originally consisted of two ex-officio and nine nominated members.[1] Elections to the council were introduced in 1877 and the first chairman was elected in 1889.[1] Elections were stopped in September 1895 and remained so until July 1897. The appointment of a municipal secretary was sanctioned by the Madras Government in 1898.[1] Indian independence activist P. Rathinavelu Thevar served as the Chairman of Trichinopoly municipality for a record five terms from 1924 to 1946. Thevar's tenure was, however, highly controversial and he was dismissed in 1934 for administrative irregularities.[2] Thevar's rival T. S. S. Rajan accused him of instigating Anti-Brahmin and Anti-Muslim violence in the city.[2][3] In 1933
A municipality of Srirangam was created in 1871 per the Town Improvements Act of 1865 following a decision not to include Srirangam within Trichinopoly municipality as it lay extremely far from the heart of Tiruchirappalli town.[4] The municipality of Srirangam included most of Srirangam Islandincluding Thiruvanaikkaval.[4]Golden Rock, with a population of 38,880 as per the 1971 census, was constituted a third-grade municipality on 1 October 1972 and upgraded to a II-Grade municipality on 5 October 1978.
There have been demands to merge Tiruchi and Srirangam municipalities in September 1930 and October 1933. Rathinavelu Thevar had submitted a memorandum to Lord Goschen requesting the upgradation of Tiruchi to a municipal corporation and extending it up to Manachanallur.[5]Tiruchirappalli was eventually designated municipal corporation in 1994 through the merger of Srirangam and Golden Rock municipalities as per the Tiruchirapalli City Municipal Corporation Act 1994.[6] The municipal corporation currently covers an area of 164.70 km2 and comprises 65 wards and 4 administrative zones: SrirangamAriyamangalamGolden Rock and Abhishekapuram.[7]

The Commissioner is assisted by two executive engineers for the east and west sections, and Assistant Commissioners for personnel, accounts and revenue departments, a public relations officer, a city engineer, a city health officer and an Assistant Commissioner for each of the four zones.[9]

[edit]Divisions

The civic administration of the city is divided into four zones - Abhishekapuram, Ariyamangalam, Golden Rock and Srirangam.[9] The engineering department, however, is divided into two zones - East and West.[9] The zones and the wards which come under each of them have been listed below.

[edit]Functions

Water supply is provided by the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation.[15] Of the six headworks from which the city gets its water supply, four are maintained by the municipal corporation and the rest by other agencies.[16] Apart from the Gandhi market, Central Bus terminus and the Chathram bus terminus, solid waste management in the city is handled by the corporation.[16] About 400 tonnes of solid waste are released from city every year.[17] The principal garbage dumping ground is at Ariyamangalam.[18] Recently, the Tiruchirappalli city corporation has gone in for scientific closure of the garbage dump and its replacement with a sewage treatment plant.[18] Waste water management in the Trichy-Srirangam under ground drainage (UGD) areas are handled by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) and in other areas by the Tiruchirappalli Municipal Corporation.[16] The high toxicity of the waste water released by the Trichy Distilleries and Chemicals Limited (TDCL) is a major cause of concern for the corporation.[19] The corporation's annual expenditure for the year 2010-11 is estimated to be Rs. 155.94 crores.[20] The corporation also maintains public parks in Tiruchirappalli city, notable among them being the P. T. Rajan Park, Chinnaswamy Park, Lourdusamy Park, Raja Park, Parangiri Velusamy Park and Ibrahim Park.[21]

Since the college has been started nearby I have enrolled for B.Sc. Computer Science course. I profusely thank the Chief Minister for getting the college started for the welfare of students like me.”
    The Chief Minister felt certain that like Kanaga, several students in rural parts of Srirangam constituency would have a bright future owing to the college.
