Tamil Nadu government’s failure to take necessary and timely precautionary measures has led to the flooding and the agony in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts, AIADMK general secretary and Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami said here on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters here after visiting a few badly affected areas, he said even as Chief Minister Stalin was claiming that the relief and rescue operations were being meticulously carried out to help the affected population, the ground reality was entirely different. Even as the officials were claiming that stagnant flood water was receding fast due to their work, the real story was totally different with almost every house flooded.
While the government was claiming that the people from the marooned areas were being rescued in boats and taken to the well-equipped relief camps, no such exercise could be seen anywhere, he charged.
