People of Tenkasi district should elect the right candidates as their representatives in the upcoming rural local bodies so that all the benefits of the “people-oriented DMK government” reached them without fail, said party MP, Kanimozhi on Tuesday.
Addressing an election rally at Kadayanallur seeking votes for the DMK and its allies for the Tenkasi District Panchayat and Kadayanallur and Sengottai panchayat unions, she alleged the previous AIADMK Government had failed to implement its poll promises in the last 10 years. In contract, she said, the DMK regime has “fulfilled most of its election promises” in the first four months after assuming office.
“Earlier, the men refused to allow girl children to go to schools and women for shopping citing their travel expenditure. But, now after the DMK Government provided free bus travel for women [in ordinary fare buses], the women have got the freedom to travel. Men now encourage women to go to markets,” she said.

Microplastics, especially nylon fibres, are present in Chennai’s beach sediments in relatively low abundance, but low overall microplastic abundance does not necessarily imply low ecological risk. Even small particles can cause long-term ecological damage by affecting marine life, moving up the food chain, and eventually impacting human health through contaminated seafood.
