The Tiruchi Corporation's Wall of Happiness, launched in 2017 near the K. Abhishekapuram Zonal Office at Puthur, is now in its ninth year. This civic initiative offers 18 shelves where people can donate or collect laundered used clothes. Surveillance cameras keep watch to prevent bulk taking, which led to increased security after some complaints. On any day, locals browse the garments or drop off clothes. However, there is no official record of how many clothes are donated so far. A senior Corporation official told The Hindu, "We received complaints of some persons trying to take clothes away in bulk, due to which security arrangements were stepped up. We now monitor the facility remotely through the surveillance camera." Civic activist K.C. Neelamegam praised the project. "Usually, old clothes get burned or are discarded along with household waste in landfills. The Wall of Happiness makes it possible for people to share their used garments in a more humanitarian and dignified manner. It would be better for the Corporation to launch the facility in all the five administrative zones of Tiruchi, to make the donation and collection process more convenient for the public," he said. Earlier, a similar Wall of Happiness was set up near the Government Hospital in Srirangam, but it closed due to the bus terminus project. Beside the Puthur Wall, the Corporation started Atchayapathiram, or People’s Food Bank, in 2019. Unfortunately, it remains empty because of low public support. Civic activists suggest expanding the clothes wall area and removing the underused Food Bank. The Wall of Happiness stands as a bright symbol of how simple acts of sharing can foster community care and reduce waste.
