Recently, it was reported in certain sections of the media that the talented musician is living in penury in Salem with his wife.
Having heard this, TN CM Jayalalithaa had immediately released Rs 10 lakhs to him from Dr MGR Trust. She has also ordered proper medical treatment for the veteran who is suffering from hearing issues.
According to a press note released from AIADMK headquarters, the amount will be deposited with the Tamil Nadu Power Finance and Infrastructure Development Limited and the interest accrued from this deposit per month, will be given to the family of Govardhan.
