Revive PDS outlets in Puducherry: CPI leader
The Hindu
Steps should be taken to distribute essentials before Deepavali, says Saleem
The CPI has demanded immediate revival of public distribution outlets in the Union Territory.
CPI secretary A.M. Saleem said the government should start distribution of essential items through the PDS outlets so that people could get some respite during a financially stressful time.
The prices of essentials had gone up. The purchasing power of the people had come down drastically. So this was essential, he said.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
