DMK government should have taken preventive steps, AIADMK says

In a joint statement, O. Panneerselvam and Edappadi K. Palaniswami said the government must ensure that the steps initiated by the previous AIADMK government during such rains are implemented

The AIADMK on November 7 said if the DMK government had taken preventive steps ahead of the monsoon, Chennai and its surrounding regions would not be seeing such damage from the rains from November 6 night.

In a joint statement, AIADMK co-ordinator O. Panneerselvam and Co-Co-ordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami said the current ruling dispensation must ensure that the steps initiated by the previous AIADMK government during such rains are implemented so that the people are protected.

The Tamil Nadu government should have taken necessary steps at least after looking at the damage from the rains in neighbouring States, they said.
