What is required for membership and what does a member get?


A resident or a property owner anywhere between Tiruvanmiyur and Pondicherry can become a member of ERPOA by writing to it..

An ERPOA member recives a sticker for his 3/4 wheeler. To receive it he needs to send a letter the Secretary, ERPOA at the address in the "Contact ERPOA" section, with the declaration along these lines:

" I solemnly declare, I am a resident along the ECR at the address below and regularly use the ECR in the course of conducting my everyday life. I therefore subscribe to the mission of ERPOA and request the office bearers to inform the toll point at ----- not to demand toll when my vehicle[s] is/are halted there. The registration details of the vehicle[s] are as follows:

Model:
Regn.No:

Sincerely


Signature

Name:
Address:

Tel No:
eMail Address

On receipt of your letter, ERPOA will inform in writing, the toll point at Uthandi or Pondicherry [your choice] requesting them to exempt you from paying the toll. When asked for the toll, politely but firmly insist that the toll is unjust. Thereafter you are on your own. The legal position of the mandate by which the TNRDC demands toll [-in return for nothing of advantage for residents] is vague and you need to exercise your own discretion and judgment.

What about costs?

Membership in ERPOA is free. This is a fight for principles. Of course, there are costs involved. The Office Bearers and Committee Members have decided to bear these expenses. The expenses will be published in the "What's New" section. Interested members can then call the treasurer and discuss contributions.
