Tamil Nadu’s dynamic Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has a bustling agenda in Kanyakumari, starting February 24. This high-profile visit promises unveilings of key projects, blending development with commemoration in the state’s scenic southern district.
Kicking off at 10 AM from Chennai, Stalin touches down at Tuticorin before heading roadward. The DMK’s Kanyakumari East unit, under Mayor R. Mahesh, rolls out the red carpet at 11 AM in Agastheeswaram.
A centerpiece event is the noon inauguration of the 1.45 crore Silver Jubilee Arch near Kanyakumari’s government guest house. Erected for the Thiruvalluvar statue’s 25th anniversary, it bolsters the area’s cultural tourism profile amid ongoing heritage enhancement drives.
As dusk falls, the focus shifts to Nagercoil: 5:30 PM sees Karunanidhi’s statue revealed at Kalladivilai, a nod to the DMK founder’s influence. Half an hour later, at 6:30 PM, Ponnappa Nadar’s statue graces the S.C.P. Ramasamy Ayyar park in Neppamoodu.
Staying overnight locally, Stalin headlines a 9 AM mega-event on February 25 at Concordia School Ground. Expect launches of ready infrastructure and groundwork for welfare schemes, delivering tangible gains to residents.
By 12:30 PM, he’s airborne back to Chennai from Tuticorin. The district DMK has issued a clarion call to all office-bearers, from councils to branches, to join en masse, fortifying the party’s regional footprint.
