Hello Friends,

The New Year always brings with it hope and expectations for a better tomorrow. On this occasion I hope and pray that you and your families have a fantastic, successful and prosperous 2005.

In the year gone by we have faced many challenges. We have laid the foundation hopefully for a better tomorrow and some of our efforts has been commendable. This has given us the confidence to surge ahead into the future and create a new world for ourselves.

Naturally to achieve all this there is a lot of work for us as we move ahead with our plans and I am sure we are all ready for it. As we step in to the New Year I invite each of you to approach it with verve and determination. Let us pledge that this New Year be the time when we refine our existing services and implement strategies to meet the needs of our customers, employees, our stakeholders and the community. I look forward to working with you in close collaboration and your continued cooperation in doing so.

Let us all believe in the strength that we have deep inside, believe in tomorrow and what it will bring and believe there is no limit to what we can do. The sky is the limit so let us have our happiest year yet.

The mock drill was very well handled by all key persons and took 12 minutes. Mr.P.W. Prabhu - Chief, TWP asked members to regroup again to take stock of the observations and suggestions emerged out of drill. Particularly on newly installed water sprinkler system and water monitors.
