MADURAI
Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary was observed at the Gandhi Memorial Museum here on Monday.
Three freedom fighters from Madurai garlanded his statue on the premises and later hoisted the national flag. College students and the general public took part in the function.
Later, an inter-religious prayer was held at his memorial and floral tributes were paid. The members also took a pledge as part of observing World Leprosy Day.
At 5.12 p.m., flowers were showered upon Mahatma Gandhi’s statue — the time he was assassinated. Madras High Court Judge Justice G.R. Swaminathan presided over the event.
Museum’s secretary K. R. Nanda Rao, treasurer Senthilkumar, principal of College of Gandhian Thought S. Muthulakshmi and others were present.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, rejected a plea by former special Director General of Police (DGP) Rajesh Das to restore the electricity service connection to a bungalow in Thaiyur near Kelambakkam in Chengalpattu district, and to restrain Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) officials from disturbing the power supply in future.
