Why is Kollayane Veliyeru Protest important for all of us as general public to attend?

We had all seen how corrupt the AIADMK govt's governance has been in the previous term. (Read on / contd)

#KollayaneVeliyeru | ValluvarKottam | June 19 | 10 Am
People wanted change & voted them out, another party came to the fore saying it would offer the vidiyal (Dawn/ SunRise) to the people but so far its only been a vidiyal to the political party & all promises & supposed statements in that direction were seemingly PR work (Contd)
Transparency and action against Corrupt politicians and officials were 2 promises made by the DMK as an opposition. However, this is far from truth and below are the high level reasons for this conclusion: (Read on)
1.Neither FIR's filed agnst AIADMK politicians moved to next step nor were there any FIR's filed against Govt officls who helped in TenderFixing &Corruption.
2.Several Corruption cases filed by Arappor w evidence to DVAC is gathering dust & no FIRs being filed. Collusion? (Contd)
3. Even those cases where CM Stalin himself had promised to take action against or demanded action while in opposition when they come to power.
4. Volumes of Complaints given by CM Stalin himself to the governor on AIADMK's corruption have not been taken into consideration either
5. Direct evidence of Corruption under the ruling DMK Govt has started to come to the fore as exposed by Arappor in Highways Scam.
This Protest is not against a single party. (though it is technically against the ruling govt) the fact is this is against the system of Nexus & collusion between the Politician and the Bureaucrat for an illegal benefit.
1. To break a system that shields Rank A offcls/IAS officers from any corruption cases or any penalizing action for that matter.
2. To break the nexus between IAS who work for their political bosses, gives them ideas & signs any paper to please them & takes a cut from the deal
3. To break the fearlessness of the signing / fixing official in charge who should have refused to do so, as seen in the case of Santhosh Babu IAS who refused the sign the TANFINET papers because it was being rigged.
5. For a true Vidiyal to the people of Tamilnadu where the money lost in corruption can be utilised in implementation of Social Justice and Welfare schemes.
If there was a key trigger for the protest, i would say one of the key reasons would be the Inaction of the ruling DMK govt in taking action against the corrupt officials involved in the KP Park case where the poorest of people were provided newly built homes by the govt (Contd)
which started falling apart endangearing peoples lives. In spite of clear cut evidence of corruption in the form of IIT report & the promises by DMK MLAs to take action, they have failed us. DMK govt needs to answer if this is the social Justice its been preaching about? (Contd)
We as people need to question ourselves, is this any form of Justice at all and can we remain a mute spectator to this grave injustice? Let's come together and raise our voice in unison tomorrow.

Pt1: Close to 4500 Tonnes of waste is being collected by the Chennai Corporation every day. To segregate and recycle the waste huge infrastructure is needed and instead of building that infrastructure the @chennaicorp (Contd)

#SWM #ChennaiCorporation #6000CroreSWMTender
Pt2: under the leadership of @SPVelumanicbe has decided to invest into 6000 Crore Tender to consolidate all the 3 different kinds of waste namely:
-- Compostable waste

#SWM #ChennaiCorporation #6000CroreSWMTender
Pt3: that people are currently segregating & handing over to Corporation and dump into the water bodies. And guess what? this contract would is for next 8 years.

@Arappor starts its #PoliceReforms campaign: #GiveRespectTakeRespect
We start with demanding that Police officials treat public with the basic Respect & Dignity which is required.
Please share a 2 minute video with us on how you were treated by the police when you went to them for help in a police station or outside. Several people have already shared their videos with us.
As a first step we are asking the Police officers to take the following oath:

#5YearsOfArappor #LokAyuktha @Arappor
Arappor Iyakkam is about to complete 5 years since Inception on Aug 22nd 2015 and thanks its contributors immensely for enabling us. At this moment we would like to reflect upon the past 5 years of work that was taken up by the organisation
P2: Everyone is aware today that Arappor has been raising its whip on Corruption for the past 5 years. One of the first works that Arappor involved itself into was the work that was undertaken to implement a strong Lokayukta in Tamilnadu
P3: which covers not just the CM, the Minister but also all the officials of the government. The original Arappor Lokayukta draft was drawn up with the contribution of several eminent people like former Lokayukta head Mr. Santosh Hedge

The TN Govt has stopped the free supply of toor dal, edible oil and sugar to ration card holders through the public distribution system (PDS). Lack of funds forced the govt to take the decision, which would help it save ₹450 crore a month - Reports the @THChennai
Pt2: @Arappor had exposed 1500 Crore scam in these 3 items toor dal, oil & sugar to favour Christy group with proofs. If such corruption was to stop the govt would be able to supply these items free to poor for few more months who are already in Financial Distress due to Covid.
Pt3: Add to it other wasteful expenditure the @AIADMKOfficial govt is indulging in like the 1265 Crore Loan from KFW Bank out of which 265 Crores is being allocated to building SWD's in ECR where such projects would only create problems to the area.

Thread: Pt1: Essence of Tender works in @chennaicorp
seems to be to indulge in unwanted & wasteful expenditure. @chennaicorp has taken a loan of 1285 Crores from Germany's KFW Banking group out of which 1 part of 285 crores is being spent on constructing SWD at ECR. @Arappor
Pt2: Storm Water Drains have always been a controversial subject. Implementing SWD in ECR is fraught with concerns. Residents want Underground Sewerage system, but what is being provided is SWD. @Arappor @chennaicorp
Pt3: In a place where there is no Sewrage system if you implement SWD we know what would start happening. Illegally people would start using SWD as Sewage system. There is no requirement for SWD in ECR where the sandy beach soil does not let water stagnate. @chennaicorp @Arappor
