Political forces exploiting woes of people: CM

CHIEF Minister M K Stalin, who laid the foundation for 79 new projects worth ₹1,383 crore under the Vada Chennai Valarchi Thittam at an event held on Wall Tax Road in Chennai on Wednesday, said the preventive measures taken by the government had minimised losses due to Cyclone Fengal but certain political forces are trying to exploit people's suffering for their gain.

Unlike the 2015 floods under the previous administration where Chennai was left submerged, the DMK government has taken decisive action.

They may continue their negative politics, but our focus is to serve the people, Stalin said. Relief measures are on in Cuddalore, Villupuram, Kallakurichi and other districts that faced heavy rainfall and damage, the Chief Minister said.
