The TVK government will maintain a cordial relationship with the Union government and, at the same time, will never compromise on State rights. Legal measures will be taken against NEET, the Minister added.

On the lake inspection, the Minister said the TVK promised to renovate lakes in Tiruchengode. In the first phase, the Kootapalli lake will be renovated. The garbage dumped on one side of the lake will be cleared through biomining. To address the issue of rainwater stagnation in Tiruchengode, a discussion was held with officials, Mr. Arunraj added.
