The final journey of the late DMK President M. Karunanidhi will start at 4 p.m. from the Rajaji Hall where the body is lying in state for people to pay homage. His son, M. K Stalin broke down on hearing that the Madras High Court approved the demand for his father’s burial at Marina Beach in the city.
