more-inFishermen of Nochikuppam have sought the intervention of Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami in a matter pertaining to allotment of recently inaugurated slum board tenements in their area. Residents had met various officials and the Mylapore MLA R. Nataraj too, who has been helping out to resolve the matter. But we sat and discussed with each family about their issues and now they have arrived at a conclusion. Former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had promised them ceiling fans and tubelights and I have ensured that all the houses have these,” he explained. Mr. Bharathi said that a lottery-based allotment would lead to problems between families.
