Chennai, Oct 23 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s visit to Tenkasi district has been rescheduled for October 28 after the earlier plan for October 24 and 25 was postponed due to heavy rains in southern Tamil Nadu.
According to official sources, Stalin will now reach Thoothukudi on October 28 and proceed to Tenkasi by road, where he will participate in various administrative and welfare programmes.
The visit will include inspection of development projects, distribution of government benefits and meetings with district officials to review the ongoing work.
The chief minister’s southern tour was originally part of a two-day plan, but incessant monsoon rains forced the government to postpone the event. Officials have revised the itinerary to accommodate all the programs that were canceled earlier.
After completing his programs in Tenkasi on October 29, Stalin will travel by road to Madurai, where he will stay overnight.
On the morning of October 30, he will garland the idol of the goddess at Koripalayam in Madurai before leaving for Ramanathapuram district to participate in the annual Thevar Guru puja at Pasumpon.
At Pasumpon, the Chief Minister will lay wreath at the memorial of freedom fighter and revered community leader Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.
The visit continues the long-standing tradition of Tamil Nadu Chief Ministers paying homage to Thevar on his birth anniversary and Guru Puja day.
Stalin is expected to return to Chennai in the evening after the ceremony. Officials from the Chief Minister’s Office confirmed that elaborate security and logistics arrangements have been made in Thoothukudi, Tenkasi, Madurai and Ramanathapuram districts in view of the revised tour schedule.
The upcoming visit marks the resumption of Stalin’s visit to the southern district after it was earlier postponed due to northeast monsoon rains.
