Blaring sound through loudspeaker of boat ferry is continuously disturbing from 6 am to 9 pm. I have come making great efforts to visit Rameshwaram. I am staying in TTDC hotel Tamil Nadu. This continuously blaring sound is an utter nuisance. Two speakers near Hotel and two near bus stand. Pl take necessary action.
I VISITED RAMESHVARAM IN LAST MARCH, AND I WAS SHOCKED BY SEEING GOATS ARE WONDERING AND MAKING PLACE DIRTY AT THE RAMESHVAR TEMPLE. IF YOU WANT I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES OF THESE GOATS. THIS WAS DIRTIEST TEMPLE AREA I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO SEE THAT ONE OF THE HOLIEST 12 JYOTIRLINGAMS IN THIS KIND OF ENVIRONMENT. THE RAMESHVARAM MUNICIPALITY NEED TO CLEAN UP THIS HOLY AREA FROM THIS KIND OF NUISANCE. PEOPLE COME FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE DARSHAN OF THE SHIV LINGAM. I HOPE MY CONCERN AND CONCERN OF OTHER CITIZEN MUNICIPALITY WILL TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING THIS MATTER.THANKS. RAMESH AMIN
Sir , on the part of my job , my official visit to rameswaram with my own car , at Pamban bridge ,the toll gate they are collected sixty rupees ( 60 ) , but in the toll collection board only 9 rs is mentioned , when I reminding this discrepancy they r simply avoid me and treat me as dirt , moreover when I reached Rameswaram another collection toll , when I am showing the sixty rupees ticket , they r asking me to pay another hundred rupees (100) for municipality entrance fee , we feel at Rameswaram other state vehicle is targeted by these type of robbery ,, I am humbly request you , what is the exact cost for these places visits
I agree with your post. It is true that some people without any identity cards collect 100 rs as toll fee in Rameswaram. Please take ncessary action. Also these guys behave very rudely to visiting tourists. We may have to take this up to all India tourism board if any such behaviour is not properly addressed and these guys are not warned against such bad behaviour.
