Madurai: Panchayat in the Virudhunagar district has named 105 of the roads with Tamil words taken from the season, flowers and even language dialects to redeem them with only numbers.
President Panchayat Aathipattti V Rajeswari, who is behind this step, has now made them loaded into Google Maps to make it easier to identify the address.
Aathipatti who has the city limit of Virudhunagar only has two previous main fields – Aathipatti and Kattahjampatti, but now has many extension fields including Narayanapuram, Lakshmi Nagar, Pethamal Nagar, NGO Colony and Jayaram Nagar.
Former President Panchayat Yoga Vasudevan said that because it was a large area, postal services and visitors found it difficult to identify the address among many roads known by their directions and numbers.
That’s when President Panchayat V Rajeswari decided to give them the right Tamil name.
Some roads are named after Mali, Mullai, Thamarai, the others after the season such as Chittirai, Vaikasi, Avani Masi, Panguni, or after rivers such as Vaigai, Gangai, Thenpennai, Kauvy, Adaar, Krishna etc.
Even various Tamil dialects.
Like Senthamizh, Muthamizh, Painthamizh has entered the names of streets.
“The ordinary person said the fourth road in northern Narayanapuram, which caused a lot of confusion and delay.
Now, even online shipping is made for their homes without much trouble, “Santhi said, a resident.
Many roads are named after each stage of the moon cycle, such as Paal Nila, Ilirai, Niraimati and Pournami.
He said the name that came under one category was given in a certain area to facilitate identification.
For example, there are 20 roads each on the right and left and the road is all named Flowers.
Narayanapuram has a named road after the season such as Vaigaria, Karmuhuil, Elavenil, Vasantham.
One area where there are many farmers named Sevalai, Senen, Senen, Pasumai and Arumbu, the names of agricultural plants.
Monaming the streets in Tamil Murni also to prevent disputes because no one disagrees and many are proud of their way of their way, said Rajeswari.
He said that he now has an additional job to ratify changes in the address in the Aadhaar card of 11,000 residents with the name of a new street.
