In a surprising turn of events at a function attended by Arun Nehru, the son of Tamil Nadu Minister for Municipal Administration, Urban and Water Supply KN Nehru, the atmosphere shifted dramatically from joy to discontent. The event, organized by DMK in North Trichy constituency as Arun Nehru’s potential entry into politics, took an unexpected turn as he faced vehement opposition from the local residents.

Despite not holding any official government post, Arun Nehru inaugurated a government bus service from Trichy to Maruthaandakurichi, sparking further discontent among the residents who criticized him for neglecting their immediate concerns. He initially arrived at the function with a cheerful demeanor, but Arun Nehru’s mood quickly soured as disgruntled locals confronted him about the unaddressed issue of a sewage canal in their constituency.

Amidst the distribution of sarees and dhotis, a group of residents approached Arun Nehru with more than 50 DMK membership cards, intending to return them in protest. Expressing their frustration with living conditions near the sewage canal and the prevalence of mosquitoes leading to mosquito bites, the group handed over the membership cards while conveying their grievances.

Efforts to reconcile the situation failed, leading to an abrupt halt of the event by Arun Nehru. As media personnel gathered to capture the unfolding drama, they were met with resistance from DMK supporters who aggressively threatened and assaulted reporters to cease recording. The atmosphere escalated as one supporter physically pushed a media person, while another threatened to break the camera and resorted to verbal abuse.

Despite Arun Nehru’s attempts to pacify the situation, the discontented residents and the aggressive response from DMK supporters left the event in disarray.

After the unsuccessful conclusion of the event, a resident approached members of the media to share the challenges resulting from uncleared sewage canals. However, the individual’s attempt to communicate was disrupted by DMK workers who verbally abused him.
