Makkal Ezhuchi Iyakkam protests government inaction, stages fast
CHENNAI: Makkal Ezhuchi Iyakkam activists staged a fast on Monday demanding compensation for tsunami-hit families at Srinivasapuram, Mullima Nagar, Nambikkai Nagar, Thideer Nagar and Kannagi Nagar in Thorapakkam.
P. Velumani, coordinator, Makkal Ezhuchi Iyakkam, said the residents did not belong to the fishing community and were living in rented houses in the tsunami-hit areas. After the tsunami, the fishermen alone were provided relief and these people were ignored.
About 2,000 families living in Srinivasapuram, Mullima Nagar, Nambikkai Nagar, Thideer Nagar and Kannagi Nagar, Thorapakkam, did not receive any compensation from the Government after the tsunami. Moreover, after the catastrophe, they lost their jobs and till today many were unemployed. They had also lost their belongings and rendered homeless. The Iyakkam wanted the authorities to provide them housing also.
