The financial aid is being given in view of the government’s decision to ban public celebrations on Vinayka Chathurthi, the CM said
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who reiterated the government’s decision to ban celebrations of Vinayaka Chathurthi in public places in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, announced ₹5,000 as financial assistance for artisans making Vinayaka statues. Responding to BJP floor leader Nainar Nagendran, the Chief Minister said since the ban on public celebration of Vinayaka Chathurthi had affected 3,000 artisans, who made statues during the festival season, the government would give them ₹5,000 each. “This is in addition to the ₹5,000 given to 12,000 potters who cannot find a livelihood during the rainy season,” he said.
