Dear Auroville Foundation Office (Candassamy) and GB (appointed) TDC /

Communications Team (Jaya & Prasad),

Below are points that were brought to the notice of Govind, Jaya and Prasad, GB (appointed)

TDC personnel, and Mr. Candassamy, Auroville Foundation at a meeting on site. We would like

to have your responses on these following points –

● Communication and a community meeting – it was stressed by the community

members residing along the radial that there has to be communication with the

communities of any work that is being executed that affects them. It was agreed that

the GB (appointed) TDC communications team would share the details of the

proposed work that is being carried out and why it is needed.

● They along with Govind also assured that while this road is being dug up alternative

access will be provided for the residents and other users who use this road for all

– the cyclists and motorized vehicles, including emergency vehicles.

● There was a request from the community to share the Work Order from a competent

authority explaining what work is being carried out and the purpose. It should have a

start date and an expected end date, specifications of the work being carried out, and

who is the contractor and site supervisor for this work with their contact information.

● An information board would be erected on the site where the work is being carried

out. It should have the summary of the same information as in the work order, along

with the cost of the work being executed, and the source of funding.

● Technical questions –
