CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the Kalaingar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme, declaring that the monthly financial assistance for women is not a welfare dole but a matter of rightful entitlement.

Addressing beneficiaries through an official statement, he asserted that no political or administrative obstacle would be allowed to delay or dilute the support extended to women across the State.

CM Stalin accused certain quarters of attempting to temporarily suspend the payments for three months by citing the upcoming elections.
