Tamil Nadu: Annamalai Visits Flood Affected Areas; Distributes Relief Material
K Annamalai in Mayiladuthurai district, Tamil Nadu
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president K Annamalai visited some of the towns that suffered the most during the recent floods in Tamil Nadu caused by a depression in Bay of Bengal.
Along with the other BJP office-bearers, he interacted with the people to understand their requirements and distributed relief materials. Among the towns visited were Achalpuram, Nallur, Kodakaramoolai, Vetangudi, Tirumullaivasal, Neppathur, Thiruvengadu and Chinnaperundottam in Mayiladuthurai district.
Thousands of acres of paddy crop have been submerged in the district. Sirkazhi, one of the well known places in the district, famous for its Sattainathar Shiva temple received a record 44 cm of rainfall in a single day.
He demanded that the affected farmers should immediately be given a compensation of Rs 30,000 per acre and adequate measures be taken by the government so that they return to their normal life as soon as possible.
Chief Minister MK Stalin who visited the district earlier this week had said that the inhabitants would be compensated adequately but he did not specify the amount of compensation.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
