Minister for Law S. Regupathy on Thursday inspected several areas falling under the Pudukottai municipal limits which were affected by the heavy downpour over the last few days. Accompanied by Collector Kavitha Ramu and administration officials, Mr. Regupathy inspected Machuvadi, waterbodies near Palpannai roundabout, Kamarajapuram and Government Arts College for Women besides Thirukattalai and Kavinadu tank to get a first hand account and heard the grievances of the general public.
He inspected the damaged houses at Narimedu NGO colony and advised the officials to provide due compensation to the occupants. Speaking to reporters later, Mr. Regupathy said instruction had been given to the officials to drain the stagnant water in areas falling under the Pudukottai municipal limits inundated by the heavy downpour adding that the works were being taken up on a war footing.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
