Thoothukudi: Salt production is in full swing across the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu. However, with the approaching monsoon season, salt production is likely to be completely affected for several months, and therefore, salt pan workers have demanded that the government take steps to provide better welfare assistance to government workers to save it.
They have urged the government to improve financial assistance, increase monsoon relief, and provide welfare assistance including land rights to protect their families during the annual non-productive periods.
