TIRUPUR: Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) leader Premalatha came out in defence of DMK MP Kanimozhi, who was stopped by police in a bid to prevent her from reaching Pollachi on Sunday to lead a protest against AIADMK.
Demanding strict action against the accused in Pollachi sexual assault case, Premalatha told reporters here that democratic protests should not be stifled, in response to a query on Kanimozhi being stopped by police.
“Each and everyone has the right to protest. No one has the right to stop anyone from protesting or to prevent people from visiting a place,” Premalatha said after chairing an event where members of other parties joined DMDK.
The process of turning wet wastes into compost will no longer be laborious and time-consuming.
For, the city corporation along with engineers has created a prototype to quicken the process of turning west wastes into compost within a day without foul odour and flies menace. The civic body has set up the equipment at Bharathi Park and is running it on a pilot basis.
For over a year now, we wanted to formulate an idea to automate and simplify the compost process, a corporation source said. In order to overcome the difficulties that are being faced in the existing process, we had started designing a prototype during the lockdown period, the source said.
Kamal Haasan
COIMBATORE: Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan hit out at the state government for removing flags and display boards of the party in Coimbatore.
“They have torn MNM posters and removed flags. I thank the respectful people who ordered for removal of those posters and the corporation officials for doing that,’’ he said after landing at Coimbatore airport on Sunday for the fifth phase of his campaign.
Kamal said he was a saddened by the fact that police personnel were made to tear the posters. “I was not upset to see my posters torn, but was sad to see that our policemen were made to do that. They have other important work. Allow them to discharge their duties rather than making them do such work as removing posters,” Kamal said.
