Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and AIADMK Coordinator O.Panneerselvam on Saturday said the DMK government, which was looking at the laying of gas pipelines on the farm lands, was cheating the farmers.
Panneerselvam urged Chief Minister M.K.Stalin to discuss with GAIL (India) Ltd to lay its pipeline along the highway.
Panneerselvam also urged Stalin to provide financial compensation to the family of the farmer who committed suicide after GAIL started laying its pipes on his land.
According to Panneerselvam, the DMK in its poll manifesto had promised that it would provide relief to the problems faced by the farm sector and chalk out schemes for the sector’s welfare.
