TN govt denies burial space for Karunanidhi at Marina Beach
Citing legal issues, the Tamil Nadu government has announced that five-time CM M Karunanidhi cannot be buried near Anna Memorial at Chennai's Marina Beach as requested by the DMK leader's family. It allocated 2 acres of land near Anna University for Karunanidhi's memorial. However, the DMK has moved the Madras High Court seeking an urgent midnight hearing over the matter.
