O. Panneerselvam blames DMK govt's "lackadaisical approach" for 14 deaths in Virudhunagar fireworks units. Demands ₹10L to families of deceased & ₹3L to injured. Govt should have inspected units & stopped production at illegal ones.
The AIADMK’s former coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Wednesday blamed the DMK regime’s “lackadaisical approach” for the death of 14 persons at private fireworks units in Virudhunagar district on Tuesday.
These latest incidents took place within 10 days of a blast in Ariyalur district, he pointed out in a statement, adding that had the government been genuinely interested in the welfare of people, it would have, by now, inspected all such units in the State and stopped production at illegal units.
Mr Panneerselvam demanded a payment of ₹10 lakh each to the family of the deceased and ₹3 lakh each to the injured.
