An organiser of Federation for Retrieval of Tiruchi-Palpannai-Thuvakudi Service Roads has decided to contest the coming Assembly elections from Tiruverumbur constituency, primarily to fight for building service lanes along the city stretch of the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway. S.Sakthivel, 66, one of organisers of the federation, comprising several residents’ welfare associations of the locality, has decided to take the plunge into electoral politics after being in the forefront in lobbying for the cause over the past several years. He plans to contest on behalf of the New Generation People’s Party, a registered unrecognised party which has been allotted the ‘pot’ symbol.
