SALEM: Chief minister M K Stalin has promised a job for R Sowmiya, who donated her gold chain weighing two sovereigns to the chief minister’s relief fund when he visited Mettur on Saturday to release water from the Stanley Reservoir.
It isn’t, however, known whether it’s a government or private job.
Sowmiya, a BE computer science graduate, lives with her father, a retired employee of Aavin.
She has two elder sisters, who are married off.
Her mother had died last year.
She had handed over a letter, along with the chain, to Stalin stating she couldn’t land a job and was struggling to run the family, as her father had spent all his retirement benefits on her mother, who died of pneumonia on March 12, 2020.
Sowmiya had said she was donating the gold chain to the relief fund, as she did not have any money with her.
Stalin read the letter and promised a job for her based on her educational qualification.
The chief minister also tweeted that he was overwhelmed by her act of donating the chain and letter.
