HC stays Rs. 329 crore tenderon PIL by local activistBy Our Staff Reporter
Based on a PIL filed by C. Karthikeyan (a social activist) and memberof the Federation of Anti-Corruption Team India (20, Vyasar Street,North Usman Road, T. Nagar), Madras High Court on March 28 stayedthe tender process for procurement of LED bulbs and fittings for streetlights for Rs. 329 crores in the State.
The first bench of Acting Chief Justice Huluvadi and Justices G.Ramesh and RMT Teekka Raman, before whom the PIL came up,granted an interim stay for two weeks.
The tender for supply of 9,06,310 LED lights with fittings was invitedthrough e-tender notice.
In the PIL, the petitioner alleged that seeking a report on the qualityof LED bulbs from Chennai Corporation Electrical Department wasillegal and will lead to irregularities.
He said that The National Accreditation Board for Testing andCalibration Laboratories (NABL) is the competent authority to testsamples.
Samples of all prospective bidders had already been tested by NABLand the same cannot be done by an incompetent authority such as theCorporation Electrical Department, petitioner contended.
The PIL further assailed the legality of condition 5 of the tender, whichmandated bidders submit proof of completing similar work for not lessthan 50% of the value of the bid in a single deal, for a State or CentralGovernment department, Board, Government undertaking or a localbody.
Most bidders will be unable to participate because of the condition,which created a monopoly among bidders, it said.
The PIL wanted these conditions to be quashed and the technical biddeclared illegal, besides a direction to send samples to an NABLaccredited laboratory.

TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC 47Madras Lalithangi Vasanthakumari was born in 1928 into
a musical family. Her mother Lalithangi was a noted musicianof her day and her father Ayyasami Iyer was a scholar andteacher of music. Thus, music was in her genes and she beganto learn classical Carnatic musiceven as a tiny tot. As anattractive lass, she accompanied her mother in the latter’sconcerts singing seconds (‘pin paattu’).
In her teens, she became the disciple of G. N.Balasubramaniam, and it was a turning point in her life andcareer. She imbibed all that was best in her guru’s musicalgenius and added her own to the inheritance. The MLV familythen lived in the Anna Pillai Street area of George Town,Madras.
During the December1946 music festival in Madras, therenowned musical duo Alathur Brothers were scheduled to singin a Sabha but, for some personal reasons, they could not makeit. Much to the surprise of many, the-eighteen-year-youngVasanthakumari took their place and sang! Her performance,scintillatingly sensational, took the listeners by storm. Thatnight a new star rose on the classical Carnatic music horizon….
The January 5, 1947 issue of the popular Tamil weekly‘Ananda Vikatan’ reviewed her performance in its ‘AadalPaadal’ pages, showering praise on her but commented thatshe was imitating GNB too much! It also published a passport-size photograph of MLV in which she looked very attractive!
Because of her good looks and singing talents, not surpris-ingly, motion picture producers went after her to get her intomovies. One of them was the powerful Tamil film producer ofhis day, SM. Letchumanan Chettiar (better known as ‘LenaChettiar’) of Krishna Pictures. MLV appeared in a single scenein Lena’s Tamil production, a musicalmovie, ‘Krishna Bhakthi’ (1948).
In this film she sings, in a king’s court, ‘Entha vedukondhuO’Raghava’, a popular composition of Saint ThyagarajaSwamigal in the raga Saraswathi Manohari. Slim and sensu-ously attractive, MLV looked impressive on screen. And heraccompanying artistes were all women. The on-screen‘mridangam’ player was Kumari N. Rajam, who was an adeptin playing on that inimitable percussion instrument. Duringthe song recording, S. V. S. Narayanan, the noted mridangamartiste of the day, played on that instrument. Kumari Rajam‘acted’ the scene well because she was herself a mridangamplayer.
(Narayanan was the son of S. V. Subbaiah Bhagavathar of‘Jayajaya Gokulabala’ fame, the singing stage and screen starof yesteryears. He too appeared in a single scene in ‘KrishnaBhakthi’ playing on the mridangam in the famous and brilliant‘Kathakaalakshepam’ sequence by the hero, P.U. Chinnappa.Sadly, Narayanan passed away young without his talentsflowering to full bloom.)
(Attractive, slim and talented, Kumari Rajam receivedtraining in fine arts and could sing and dance well. As ‘Baby’Rajam, she was a popular musician in the early 1940s. In heryouthful years, she was a model for the ‘Lux Beauty Soap’ ads.She played major and supporting roles in films like ‘DhanaAmaravathi’ (1947), ‘Ithu Nijama?’ (1948), ‘Ezhai PadumPaadu’ (1950, one of the classics of Tamil cinema), ‘Pavalakodi’(1949) and ‘Krishna Bhakthi’. Sadly, her screen career did nottake off as expected. Later, under the name ‘Thanjavur N.Rajalakshmi’ she emerged as a successful classical dance-teacher and choreographer and, now, she runs aBharathanatyam Dance School in Madras with disciplescoming not only from India but also Singapore and Malaysia.She teaches Carnatic music too. Now in her eighties, she is stillyoung in sprits and bubbling with life and cheer and is a richgranary of film history and anecdotes of many hues aboutTamil movie’s men and women and musicians of the never-to-return, gone-over-the horizon decades.)

Auto drivers block road on the pretext of poojaSir, On March 19, at 7.30 p.m, the drivers of the autorickshaw
stand on Motilal Street, T. Nagar, paraded more than 10 of theirautorickshaws through the already congested street and con-ducted special poojas. They pilfered power from a nearby EBjunction box. The gathering included the drivers and also the localfringe elements of some political party which controls the autostand. Speeches were delivered and crackers burst much to theannoyance of the road users. All this went on unhindered in thevery presence of the traffic police who were busy regulating thetraffic. No prior permission was sought by the auto drivers fromthe police or Chennai Corporation to conduct the program/poojain a place where the traffic is heavy. In the first place, the auto standitself hinders the smooth flow of traffic.
I appeal to the traffic police not to allow such practices in thefuture in such crowded places. K. Harihar, 20, Mahalak-shmiStreet, T. Nagar
Beware of fraudsters on the prowlSir, The other day I and my wife were purchasing vegetables
from a roadside vendor in West Mambalam.All of a sudden, a pious looking elderly person in saffron robes
accosted me and introduced himself as an astrologer. There wasa young girl with him who, I presumed, was his granddaughter. Hethen told me that he does not normally converse with stra-ngers, looked straight in my face and said that I have goodfuture. As I thanked him, he told me that he was in Tirupati a dayearlier and had the good fortune of receiving two Mahalakshmidollars and offered to give one to me. When my wife enquired if itwas free, he said the cost was Rs. 200 and would bring great fortune.We soon realized the whole thing was a scam and declined his offer.Nowadays, innovative and ingenious methods are being employedto trap the gullible public, and one should not get carried away byall the sweet talk. V. S. Jayaraman, 31, Motilal Street, T.Nagar
Resident associations must work for bettersecurity
Sir, The attack on a woman in a street in T. Nagar by a sackedcolleague in the early hours of March 22, brings back memoriesof a similar attack on Swati in Nungambakkam Railway Station.Had it not been for the quick reflexes of the victim and the incidentswhich led to the assailant getting caught by the public, it wouldhave been a disaster.
While such incidents call for a strict vigil, that these take placein public even after the government has intensified patrollingspeaks volumes of its efficacy. It also becomes incumbent uponthe public to fend for themselves. Residents must unite and re-organize Street Welfare Associations to provide much neededcover for themselves. It includes 24x7 security, installing of dropgates and CCTV cameras. Women should wear minimum jewellerywhile going out alone and should also try and avoid dark alleys andstreets. K. Harihar, T. Nagar
Traffic woes in Veerasamy StreetSir, Veerasamy Street is a busy street with continuous flow of
traffic from 5 a.m to 11 p.m. There are a number of senior citizensliving on the street. There is a school with two buildings, a marriagehall, a mini function hall and a few commercial establishments onthe street. The traffic in this stretch is heavy during peak hoursand more than normal at other times.
Due to the heavy traffic, there is severe noise pollution due toblaring of horns, and air pollution from the vehicle effluents.
Further, crossing the street is a nightmare for pedestrians,especially senior citizens and students. I appeal to the trafficofficials to declare Veerasamy Street a ‘No Horn Zone’ and installsign boards at the entrances. Also, a couple of speed breakers willmake vehicles slow down and not be driven recklessly. V. R.Sridhar, 23/11, Veerasami Street, West Mambalam, 9884568963
