According to sources, two years ago, arrangements were made to construct a modern slaughter house in Ouppalam constituency and the people of the area objected and demanded a tenement in that place.
When they apprised this to Anbazhagan, he met the Welfare Minister M Kandasamy and put forth the demand and Kandasamy agreed to do so.
However, no action was initiated and PWD Minister A Namasivayam reportedly delayed stating the issue of NOC for the construction of tenement there.
Protesting this, they resorted to the dharna on the steps leading to the Assembly hall. Hearing the news, Kandasamy held talks and pacified them.
Anbazhagan told news persons that over 100 families reside in Aattupatti area and the congress government did not take any steps to construct concrete houses for them replacing the huts.
Two years back the Welfare Minister assured to construct a tenement and due to some ego clash Namasivayam is not issuing a NOC, he alleged.
