New Indian ExpressVILLUPURAM: PMK founder Dr S Ramadoss accused the state of failing in its efforts to prevent the damages caused by rain and floods during the recent cyclone. "Releasing 1.68 lakh cusecs suddenly from the dam caused massive destruction," he said, further criticising the state for failing to provide immediate relief, such as food and drinking water, to the affected people. Ramadoss announced that the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association's state conference would be held on December 21 in Tiruvannamalai, highlighting demands to the state government, such as to increase crop procurement prices and establish special economic zones for value addition to agricultural products. On the collapse of a Rs 16-crore high-level bridge near Arakampallipattu just three months after its inauguration, he said, “The government’s claims that the collapse was due to floods is unacceptable.
