The man was protesting against GAIL project in Kariappanalli in Dharmapuri
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday condoled the death of a farmer, who was part of the protest against the GAIL pipeline project in Kariappanalli hamlet in Dharmapuri district. He also announced a solatium of ₹5 lakh to the family from the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund.
In a statement, Mr. Stalin said the DMK government, which was following in the footsteps of former Chief Minister M.
