EPS slams DMK, says no bridge built during AIADMK rule collapsed

TIRUVANNAMALAI/ ARIYALUR: Opposition leader and AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami visited Tiruvannamalai district to meet the families of those killed in the a recent landslide. Palaniswami also inspected the Rs 16-crore flyover across the Thenpennai River, which collapsed last week due to heavy flooding caused by Cyclone Fengal. Addressing reporters, Palaniswami criticised the government for poor work quality, while claiming that none of the bridges built during the AIADMK regime got damaged by floods. He also accused the DMK government of negligence, stating the uncontrolled release of excess water from the Sathanur dam without prior warning exacerbated the flood damage.
