Transport Minister S.S. Sivasankar and Rajya Sabha member M.M. Abdulla participated in the ‘nadukal’ installation ceremony, which was held in Thailand recently.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed their participation in the ceremony.
The ‘nadukal’ was installed in memory of several Tamils who had died while establishing the Siam-Burma railway during the second World War. “It is a Tamil tradition to install ‘nadukal’ to remember the departed souls,” the Chief Minister said, citing a verse from the Tholkappiyam.
