Rajinikanth throws open his marriage hall for sanitary workers

Chennai: Tamil superstar Rajnikanth has thrown open his sprawling marriage hall here for accommodating sanitary workers from various districts engaged in the work to clean up the mess created by the recent torrential rains-sparked deluge in the city.

The 'Kabali' star had opened up his Raghavendra Mandapam in Kodambakkam locality for the workers from Namakkal, Karur, Salem, Dharmapuri and Tirupur, a press release from his office said.

The workers were being provided with basic necessities, it added. Last week, the actor had asked his fans to cancel his birthday celebrations on December 12 and instead focus their resources on flood relief and rehabilitation.

Face with the huge task of clearing the garbage, the government had roped in the sanitary workers from across the state.
