By Express News ServiceCHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday reiterated his charge that T Nagar in Chennai suffered a lot owing to the irregularities in the Smart Cities Mission. Addressing reporters after visiting inundated areas such as T Nagar, Nandhanam, GN Chetty road, Viswanathapuram, and Rangarajapuram, Stalin said the previous AIADMK government didn’t carry out smart city works properly as they “took commission” and “committed scams”. On seeking relief assistance from the Centre, Stalin said his government decided to wait as rains are expected in the next two days as well. On precautionary measures to prevent diseases, he said that works to conduct medical camps at relief camps are going on. In a joint statement, they recalled that the DMK had promised during the Assembly campaign to hike MSPs for paddy and sugarcane.
