public - a bank balance of Rs 7,172 and a house in Madurai worth
Rs 9 lakh. Due to his actions against
corrupt activities, he was transferred 19 times in a span of 20 years.
District Collector Sagayam, Indian Police Service officer Asra Garg
and Madurai city police commissioner, P. Kannappan were appointed
by the Election Commission to oversee the Assembly elections in Madurai district.
They were highly commended by the Chief Election Commissioner of India,
S. Y. Quraishi, for conducting fair and corruption-free elections in the district,
in the face of considerable opposition from some of the political parties involved.
This included a lawsuit filed against Sagayam and Garg by Alagiri, the
Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers. He had alleged major violations
by many granite quarries in madurai district and had estimated a loss of more
than sixteen thousand crore rupees to the state exchequer.
