‘Statues of Veera Mutharaiyar will be erected at Valayangulam and Anaiyur’
The AIADMK government will take steps to establish a Valaiyar Reclamation Board, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami said here on Sunday.
Addressing a conference organised by the Veeramutharaiyar Munnetra Sangam, he said the government would always work towards uplifting the Mutharaiyar community. Statues of Veera Mutharaiyar would be erected at Valayangulam and Anaiyur in the district in compliance with the request of community leaders.
Mr. Palaniswami said the government was also taking steps to protect the memorials for the rulers of the Mutharaiyar community. The government, as announced in the Assembly, laid the foundation for the statue of Perarasar Perumbidugu Mutharaiyar in Tiruchi. The Mutharaiyar community members are mostly farmers who feed the people of the State, he said.
