Sources from Chennai have stated that Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah on Thursday has said that serious efforts were on to bring back Finnish mobile handset manufacturer Nokia to revive its operations and that the State would continue to implement the ongoing welfare schemes, including the low cost food chain, ‘Amma Unavagam’.
Rosaiah has told that the State government is taking very serious efforts for revival of the Nokia plant along with the component manufacturers and the Chief Minister recently deputed a team of officials to Taiwan to hold discussions with global companies like Foxconn.
He has told that Jayalalitha has also increased free power to weavers and reduced the working hours of the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC). Welfare schemes under the Amma brand such as Amma Cement, Amma Drinking Water and Amma Salt would continue.
He has also added that his government will continue to seek accountability of those who perpetrated genocide on innocent Tamils in Sri Lanka during the civil war and the entire Opposition listened to the Governor’s address with rapt attention.
