Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi on Wednesday asked seaweed collectors to take up their work with the responsibility to preserve natural resources.
Addressing women seaweed collectors at a meeting, Ms. Kanimozhi said marine resources were also limited and people should preserve them for the future generations.
She said women, who were involved in seaweed collection, faced a lot of disrespect. “When they met me with an idea that proper identity cards would give them protection from harassment, I took it up with Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Minister for Fisheries Anitha R. Radhakrishnan. I am happy that their demand has been met,” she said.
She assured them that the DMK-led government would always be with the working class and take care of their needs.
