Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has issued orders to help the son and grandson of Tamil scholar Maraimalai Adigal, who led Thanithamizh Iyakkam and authored several books on Tamil literature. On coming to know that the scholar's youngest son, Marai Pachaiyappan, and grandson, P. Sivakumar, were in need of financial help, Mr. Stalin issued orders to help them. He issued orders to waive the maintenance charge to be paid by Mr. Pachaiyappan for a Tamil Nadu Housing Board dwelling and give him a lifetime exemption from paying the charge.
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.
