AIADMK demonstration

CHENNAI: The AIADMK’s Madurai Corporation unit will organise a demonstration tomorrow (October 13) to condemn irregularities in the corporation.

In a statement here party general secretary Jayalalithaa alleged that corporation employees were being recruited on contract basis and farmers who brought their produce for sale at the corporation markets were forced to pay commission.

“Instead of increasing the revenue of the corporation through the best possible ways, the corporation has burdened the people by hiking property tax, commercial tax and industrial tax,” she added. — Special Correspondent
