AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Tuesday called on Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi, demanding action against the ruling DMK over the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy.

Leading a delegation of party legislators and advocate-wing members, Palaniswami submitted a memorandum at Raj Bhavan, alleging the DMK government's failure in curbing the brewing and sale of illicit arrack.

After the meeting, Governor Ravi assured Palaniswami that appropriate action would be taken based on the memorandum.
