Vijay Announces Farm Loan Waiver Package, Allows Five Daily Shows For Tamil Films
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister S. Joseph Vijay has announced a structured crop loan waiver package for small and marginal farmers and approved five movie screenings daily for newly released Tamil films during the first week after release.While the film industry has welcomed the move, several farmer groups have expressed disappointment, claiming the waiver falls short of the TVK’s election promise of a complete farm loan waiver for farmers owning up to five acres.The decisions are being seen as a major political and economic test for the Vijay government.
