Chairing a meeting with district collectors and officials from Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, and Nagapattinam to review the implementation of developmental and welfare measures at Nagapattinam Collectorate, Mr. Stalin said along with agricultural growth, the need of the hour is to concentrate on the overall development of these districts by promoting industries.
To achieve holistic development in the delta districts, the State government has been implementing various schemes to improve infrastructure and promote trade, and commerce.

The district collectors should bring to the notice of the government, area-specific needs of the region, he said.
