Stalin writes to Biren Singh seeking concurrence for TN humanitarian aid

Chennai: Chief Minister M K Stalin has written to his Manipur counterpart N Biren Singh, requesting the latter government's concurrence for Tamil Nadu's proposed humanitarian aid for those living in relief camps in the violence-hit northeastern state.

Stalin told the Manipur Chief Minister in a letter dated July 31 that he has been informed that more than 50,000 people were staying in relief camps due to the "prevailing situation" in the northeastern



state, apparently referring to the violence there.

"...there is an increasing need for some essential items for the affected people. At this crucial time, the Government of Tamil Nadu is willing to extend support to your State by providing necessary relief materials like tarpaulin sheets, bed-sheets, mosquito nets, essential medicines, sanitary napkins, and milk powder worth around Rs 10 crore," Stalin said.
