Conducting an intensive community outreach in the historic coastal neighborhood of Mylapore during the fourth leg of his Namakku Naame campaign, DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin met with traditional artisanal fishermen and office bearers of local Residents' Welfare Associations. Walking through traditional fishing kuppams along the Marina coast, Stalin listened to the deep economic distress of fisherfolk who recounted how five years of AIADMK governance had resulted in unfulfilled promises, reduced diesel subsidies, and complete lack of modern fish landing facilities.

Fishermen voiced severe frustration over the state government's failure to provide housing pattas or construct disaster-resilient tenements, leaving their families vulnerable to seasonal sea surges. Interacting subsequently with urban residents and apartment welfare associations, Stalin noted widespread dissatisfaction with failing sewage networks, contaminated drinking water distribution, and rampant commercial encroachments in residential zones. Stalin remarked that the voices from both fishing settlements and middle-class residential colonies in Mylapore reflected an overwhelming public consensus demanding immediate political change. He pledged that an incoming DMK administration would champion fishermen's rights, protect coastal ecology, and deliver accountable, transparent civic administration tailored to local community needs.
