Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday, July 26, said he will be sending a petition consisting requests to be presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a two-day visit to Tamil Nadu, through his Chief Secretary amid hospitalisation.
'Due to being in the hospital, I have sent a petition containing the requests to be presented to the Honorable Prime Minister visiting Tamil Nadu through the Chief Secretary. Honorable @TThenarasu will present it to the Honorable Prime Minister,' MK Stalin said.
Stalin has been working from the Apollo hospital as he complained of mild giddiness while he was doing his morning walk. He has reviewed petitions, ordered for quick action and stressed on proper facilities for those coming to the hospital.
PM Modi will dedicate numerous development projects for the state in these two days. Posters, BJP flags and hoardings were place across the city ahead of his visit.
He will arrive Tuticorin this evening, and around 7:45 PM, he will inaugurate the new terminal building of Tuticorin airport. Additionally, he will lay foundation stones and inaugurate various projects worth over 4,800 crore rupees. He is also scheduled to attend the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival of the Chola emperor Rajendra Chola I at the Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple in Ariyalur District.
Industrial forums in Thoothukudi have welcomed the long-awaited inauguration of the new airport terminal, emphasising its importance as a major boost to the region's industrial growth and cargo handling capabilities. Pon Venkatesh, Secretary of the Indian Chamber of Commerce, stated that the new terminal will significantly enhance export activities from Tuticorin.
