    It is very interesting to see my native place particularly the temples,on inter net.It is more intereting to note that the perumukkal hill has a very old history which was not in the known list during school days.But the Municipality should improve the civic amenities such as roads, the market in all the whole environment if full with pollution.The Collector should embark on massive development works.As the population has increased so also the facility should increase.I am seeing no change in the whole town except the cross fly over which is unique in the respect that this may be the only fly over in the contry which has been built on junction roads.
