Pulse of Chennai anonymous opinion poll
Should a govt job be the standard payout for every such death?
In plain English: Should government jobs be standard compensation for such deaths?
Choose between Yes, always and Money, not jobs.
41 people died at Karur. Their families now have government jobs. Nobody is arguing with that. The families have spoken, and they say it gave them security after the worst year of their lives. The argument is about what happens next time. Because a government job is not compensation. It is permanent, it is heritable, and it is handed over without the exam that lakhs of others are still sitting for. So the question is not about these families. It is about the rule. Should a government job be the standard payout for every such death? Even the government's own allies, CPI and CPI(M), said this sets a dangerous precedent. This is not a fringe question. No name. No judgement. Just the truth. Vote anonymously. . . #PulseOfChennai #Chennai #Karur #TamilNadu #PublicOpinion #Policy #TNPSC
