Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs L. Murugan urged the Tamil Nadu government to abandon its decision to set up a new Secretariat at Pattinapakkam.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated in Delhi a ceremony to issue appointment orders to more than 51,000 people in various departments at 45 locations across the country.
Subsequently, Union Minister of State L. Murugan participated in the appointment order distribution ceremony held on Saturday at D.G. Vaishnav College in Arumbakkam, Chennai, and issued appointment orders to 285 people.
Later, he told reporters:
The Prime Minister’s employment camp was held at two locations in Chennai. Through this camp, we have issued appointment orders to 300 people. So far, employment has been provided to 12.75 lakh people. Everyone is working toward the goal of a developed India by the year 2047.
The Tamil Nadu government should abandon the plan to set up a new Secretariat in Pattinapakkam. The lives of fishermen are tied to the coastal area. Chief Minister Vijay should understand the hardships of fishermen.
If a new Secretariat is built in Pattinapakkam, the 10,000 fishermen living in that area will be left in the lurch. Pattinapakkam should be abandoned, and another location in Chennai should be chosen.
It has been reported that Chief Minister Vijay has written to the Prime Minister regarding handing over Chennai’s Meenambakkam airport to private parties. I met the Union Minister for Civil Aviation two days ago and asked about this. He said that no official letter had been received. He said that Tamil Nadu needs Navodaya schools and that they should be brought in immediately.
Prime Minister’s Employment Fair: Union Minister Chandrasekhar Pemmasani participates
Similarly, at the appointment order distribution ceremony held at Chennai’s Kalaivanar Arangam, Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Chandrasekhar Pemmasani participated and handed over appointment orders to 137 people. Speaking on the occasion, he said:
The world is in the hands of the youth. Success depends on how you use what you have. When you go to another state, learn that state’s language. Accept everything there, including the local food and new friends.
Tamil Nadu is in a leading position in industry today. Across the country, there are currently 300 mobile phone manufacturing factories. India is the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturing country. All the mobile phones we use and export are manufactured in our country. The production and export of safety equipment was worth Rs. 600 crore. It has now increased to Rs. 30,000 crore.
During Prime Minister Modi’s 12 years in office, we have doubled the number of airports. Accordingly, there are 160 airports. The country has 1.5 lakh km of highways. 1,400 railway stations across the country are being modernized. More than 100 Vande Bharat trains are being operated. For the first time in India, we are going to introduce a bullet train. This is real development, he said.
