Smuggling of mineral resources to Kerala is on the rise - MLA S P Velumani

Coimbatore: Former minister SP Velumani has alleged that the smuggling of mineral resources to Kerala has increased during the DMK rule.



AIADMK legislators in Coimbatore district, led by former minister S P Velumani, met the Coimbatore District Collector and submitted the price of dried coconut is low. There is also a situation where farmers are committing suicide. The price of copra coconut should be increased. Steps should be taken to supply coconut oil in ration shops.



Brick kilns in the Thadagam area should be operated in accordance with the law. Bananas damaged by rain in the Mettupalayam region ought to receive adequate relief.

Corona prevention measures should be taken. Drinking water is supplied only once in 20 days in coimbatore corporation areas. There are irregularities in the supply of drinking water. Drinking water should be supplied regularly.

The work on Athikadavu-Avinashi project and flyovers should be completed expeditiously. Vellalore garbage dump has a foul smell of 20 km due to lack of maintenance. Vellalore bus stand has been suspended. These projects need to be finished right away.

If the government does not stop the looting of mineral resources in Coimbatore district, the people will stop it. Steps should be taken to prevent wild boar, elephant and peacock disturbances.

The DMK treats the press like a slave. How many television channels have had discussions on the finance minister's audio? Many newspapers do not publish AIADMK news. It was Edappadi who brought out the Kodanad issue.

We are taking on the role of the opposition. Newspapers should be neutral. If the press stops upholding the DMK regime, this government will collapse.

The scenes in 'The Kerala Story' that offend Muslims should be removed, just as we did when 'Vishwaroopam' was released. He said this, to be exact.
