Centre must clear TN Metro projects, permit paddy procurement with 22 per cent moisture content: TTV Dhinakaran

TIRUCHY: AMMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Sunday urged the Union government to immediately approve the Metro Rail projects for Madurai and Coimbatore and to permit procurement of paddy with 22% moisture content, saying both decisions were vital for public welfare and farmers’ livelihood.

“The opinion that the projects would be approved only if former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami returned to power is condemnable,” he said while addressing the media persons on Sunday.
