PAST MAYOR MUNUSAMY NAICKER(1896-1899)

 During french rule, Pondicherry is divided into several communes and each commune has mayors as its top most administrative officers. At that time the most wealthiest person in a particular commune is appointed as a mayor for administrative duties. In that time Munusamy Naicker is the wealthiest person in villenour commune possessing acres of agricultural lands doing agriculture. He was elected as the mayor of Villenour commune by the french officials. He has hobby of making shiva lingas and buring them under the ground. It has been told that many shiva lingas have been made by him and his sons and had been buried in his native place(SANDHAI PUDUKUPPAM-today).  But surprisingly, we cannot find where he was buried. But recently, a statue of lingam made of limestone has been found in sandhai pudukuppam village making the news about him to be true. We can see his name inscripted in the present day Villenour commune panchayat office at villenour. His successors are residing at Sandhai pudukuppam today.
