DMK tweaks campaign after high court injunction on OTP

Chennai: A day after Madras high court issued an interim injunction restraining DMK from sending one time password (OTP) verification messages during its 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu' campaign, the party made a change in its enrolment procedure eliminating the usage of OTP for verification. DMK organisational secretary R S Bharathi issued a statement on Tuesday asking DMK cadres to use the updated 'Makkaludan Stalin' mobile app for the membership drive, as the changes have been incorporated in the app. According to the changes, while an OTP will not be requested, the mobile number of a person is mandatory for enrolment. Also, one mobile number is enough for a family even if multiple members from the household get enrolled. If the family members agree, all their mobile numbers can be obtained, Bharathi said.
