Take efforts to resolve problems of delta farmers, EPS tells TN govt

AIADMK General Secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami urged the DMK government to solve various issues of the delta farmers, who will be cultivating Kuruvai crops this year. Claiming that this August, the government has released only 10,000 cusecs of water from the Mettur dam. The farmers, who cultivated crops at the banks of the river benefited and others suffered loss, EPS said. Palaniswami also alleged that the state government also did not provide crop insurance for Kuruvai cultivation, which has betrayed the farmers. “If the DMK continues to adopt a lethargic approach in this issue, the AIADMK would stage a protest to save the delta farmers”, he said.
