Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to release Rs 5,110 crore in central funds due to the state under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme without conditions, prioritise the Godavari-Cauvery river-linking project and reconsider metro rail proposals for Coimbatore and Madurai.
Vijay also sought approval for an inter-state metro rail line connecting Hosur in Tamil Nadu with Bommasandra in Karnataka, saying the project would benefit both states.
