Mr.S.Chandrakanthan, Ampaa'rai district TNA parliamentarian, has requested that the houses of displaced families located in Thangavelauthapuram and Kanchikudichchi Aaru due to war should be repaired immediately.

Due to war situation farmers who cultivated small extent of land in these villages have been forced to sell their produce at low price, Mr.Chandrakanthan pointed out.
