But do we need to set up IT companies everywhere to make the wheel of economy roll . IT comps pose a very serious threat to the pristine beauty of the temple town. Any other industry say textile , manufacturing , food will make use of locally available manpower only . But thats not the case with IT companies. If the people in power are keen to the take the burgeoning load off Chennai they should seriously think of developing dingy towns like Salem.
