Tue Dec 17 16:09:31 UTC 2024: ## Kayalpattinam Residents Demand More Wards in Municipality
**THOOTHUKUDI, December 17, 2024** – Residents of Kayalpattinam, Tamil Nadu, are demanding an increase in the number of wards within their municipality. At a weekly grievance meeting on Monday, residents argued that the current 18 wards, unchanged for many years, are insufficient for a population of approximately 55,000. This overpopulation within each ward, they claim, hinders access to government welfare schemes and facilities. The petitioners cited Tamil Nadu government regulations for urban local bodies issued in 2023 as justification for their request.
