In response, the DMK office stated that a formal request had been submitted by former MP S.S. Palanimanickam, urging the corporation to exempt the office from commercial property tax, citing the presence of a public-access library within the premises. They claimed the petition has been submitted on three separate occasions but has received no response. The office assured that if the corporation reclassifies the property and adjusts the tax accordingly, the dues would be settled promptly.
