Melur was a place where freedom fighter and politician Kakkan was born in a Scheduled Caste family and was respected; but Murugesan, an SC panchayat president, was murdered; and which now saw the election of an SC candidate, P. Viswanathan (the Higher Education Minister) in a general Assembly constituency recently. There was a social change. The people of Melur should be appreciated and thanked for that. This social harmony should spread across Tamil Nadu, said VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan.
