In Pudukkottai's Sangamviduthi village, contamination of a high-level water tank with cattle dung prompted MLA Vanathi Srinivasan to demand a comprehensive state investigation.
Coimbatore: MLA Vanathi Srinivasan has urged the Tamil Nadu government to launch a thorough investigation into the incident where cattle dung was found in a high-level water tank in Sangamviduthi village, Pudukkottai district. In a statement released yesterday, she expressed her concerns regarding the contamination issue which is seen as a neglect of equality and social justice under the current DMK regime. This call for action echoes previous incidents where local water sources were tampered with, bringing to light recurring issues of maintenance and oversight in rural water management. Srinivasan emphasized the lack of social justice and the absence of equality in these governance practices. Earlier, a similar issue in Kanchipuram district had led to urgent remedial actions before a full investigation could be conducted. The DMK government's approach to such issues, including severe accusations made without arrests even after repeated occurrences, signals a deep-rooted problem, according to her. The statement ends with a reminder of the Tamil Nadu government's responsibilities in ensuring the safety and integrity of public utility services.
