The Alangudi Assembly constituency in Pudukottai district, where farming is the predominant activity, is yet to fully recover from cyclone Gaja in late 2018. Destruction of several plantations and many dwellings is fresh in the minds of people who had to labour hard since then to eke out their livelihood. The constituency drew nation-wide attention after residents of Neduvasal and nearby villages resorted to a protest for over 100 days a few years ago opposing exploration of hydrocarbon from this region forcing the authorities to make a retreat.More Related News
