Q: Hi friends I am moving very close to Thaneerpandal and I want to know about the drinking water scheme on the Thaneerpandal road that started ages ago. Also any major civic issues this locality faces?
All that is very nice but what about the heavy traffic on Vilankurichi road that is extremely annoying to commuters? Even some work needs to be undertaken on this road. We need a bridge in this area most definitely. The Railway Over Bridge planned in Peelamedu seriously needs to be completed. It's been more than 3 years since this project was supposed to be underway but nothing has happened yet because apparently NABARD has not allocated the funds worth 30.5 crore. Even an alternative route has not been planned yet by the authorities during the onset of this project. If this railway over bridge is there, it will be so helpful for the 50,000 residents living in Thaneerpandal, Cheran Maa Nagar, and Vilankurichi.
This Thaneerpandal came as quite a blessing to those travelling this path those days. Now the area apart from being famous for this and the road, is also known for Vijaykumar Cotton Press. Even Tidal park is here making it a very busy road. The use of the theerpandal has decreased now, and now the parts where Thaneer Pandal use has diminished, a school has been built on that land. Apparently the land was sold to R Subbaraya Chettiar and shelter homes were devloped on it in 1927. It was at this point that the thanner pandal was quickly contructed providing water to the people of this locality.
Hey so the Thaneerpandal road is also known as the Vilankurichi Road and has been there since ancient days. People living around the area in Vilankurichi and Kalapatti village would take this road to reach Sathy road. This stretch used to amount to a long and tiring journey and that's when 3 brothers decided to start the thaneerpandal in this area. So that whoever passes by will have access to good water. Till this day this outlet for water is still there. :)
