Farmers demand Tirupattur to be declared as drought-hit district
Farmers have submitted a petition to the Tirupattur Collector requesting to declare the district as drought-affected due to inadequate rainfall.
Farmers submitted a petition during the grievance redressal meeting at the Tirupattur District Collectorate, urging the government to declare Tirupattur as a drought-hit district due to severe crop failure caused by the lack of rainfall.
Separately, the Tamil Nadu Farmers Protection Association demanded the removal of encroachments on major roads in Vaniyambadi. Collector Ravikumar presided over the meeting, where 595 petitions were received from the public.
