Cadre petition district administration The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has urged the Coimbatore district administration to distribute tokens for Pongal goodies using government employees. In a petition to the administration, the party’s Coimbatore east district unit in-charge S. Senathipathi said that the AIADMK workers were engaged in distribution of the tokens to 10.09 lakh families that were attached to 1,495 fair price shops. And, the tokens had the photographs of Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Municipal Administration Minister S.P. Velumani and were printed in AIADMK colours. The colours should be removed as it was the State Government that distributed the tokens and the distribution should be done using fair price shop employees, he demanded.
