S. Enban and his brother S. Iniyan, both Class III students, along with their father Sivakumar met Collector C. Kathiravan at the camp office and handed over their contributions to him. In a note written to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Enban, addressing him as ‘grandfather’, appealed to him to use his contribution to purchase oxygen. Eniyan conveyed his wishes to Mr. Stalin for becoming the Chief Minister. “If more money is needed, I will get it from my father,” Eniyan said in his note.
Mr. Kathiravan appreciated the children and asked them to stay safe at home.
