Will continue to push for fishers' release: CM

CHIEF Minister M K Stalin said the Tamil Nadu government will continue to press the Union government to initiate diplomatic talks with Sri Lanka seeking the release of the arrested Tamil fishermen and their boats. He was addressing thousands of cadres from various parties and the general public at Pasumpon on Wednesday, after paying floral tributes to freedom fighter Muthuramalinga Thevar on the occasion of his 117th birth anniversary and 62nd Guru Pooja.

Responding to a question about Vaigai-Cauvery-Gundar scheme, the CM said that over 40% of the land acquisition process for the project was completed.

Over 9,000 police personnel were deployed across Ramanathapuram district to maintain law and order. From Wednesday early hours itself, people from neighbouring villages thronged the memorial at Pasumpon to pay their respects.
