The alleged irregularities in book purchases for Periyar Arivulagam, a new public library in Tamil Nadu that was inaugurated by Chief Minister Vijay weeks ago, have snowballed into a massive controversy in the state. The latest to react is K Annamalai, who demanded an independent and thorough probe into the allegations by acclaimed Tamil writer Perumal Murugan and DMK-era records of the procurement process for books.
The alleged irregularities were flagged by Murugan in a bombshell article published on the Tamil portal Sindhai. Murugan said he found nearly 1,800 books purchased at exorbitant prices, with fictitious authors, questionable publishers, and AI content.
