Loganathan and Varudammal are dailywage earners who work in fields and other places where they can find jobs
KONUR (NAMAKKAL): As the sun blazed down on her, L Varudammal, 59, plucked weeds and cleared bushes in a field at Konur village of Namakkal district. She was dressed in a red sari, a shabby white shirt buttoned over her choli and a red towel wrapped around her head. In another field, her husband, Loganathan, 68, shoveled sand and levelled the ground.
Far from celebrating their son becoming a Union minister, L Murugan’s parents continue to toil in the fields. The couple prefer a life independent of their son, earning their daily bread by the sweat of their brow.
