Biggest Mining Scam Rocks DMK Government | This Is Exclusive

A retired executive engineer from the Water Resources Department, R Devarajan, has come forward and alleged that he was wrongfully dismissed from service in connection with the sand mining scam. According to Devarajan, his dismissal was orchestrated to prevent him from revealing crucial information related to irregularities in the sand mining issue and to shield influential leaders associated with the DMK government. The engineer’s claims surfaced through a viral video on social media, where Devarajan asserts that the dismissal order, dated November 28, 2023, was signed by a junior official who had now risen to a senior position. Devarajan alleges that he was under suspension before being dismissed from his post. The dismissal order cites the reason for his termination as the use of social media to address grievances instead of pursuing available platforms, including judicial forums, and his confirmed political involvement through speeches where he admitted to forming his own political party, the “New Generation Party” (Puthiya Thalaimurai Katchi).
