Guest faculty in the 10 government arts and science colleges that were earlier constituent units of Bharathidasan University staged a demonstration in front of the office of the Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education, demanding settlement of unpaid salaries for the months of May, June and July. The guest faculty and the non-teaching staff questioned the rationale behind the university refusing to pay the salaries even after receiving instruction from the Higher Education Ministry to that effect.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
