Collector S. Aneesh Sekhar on Sunday inspected the health condition of a cow which suffered burn injuries at Alwarpuram here. Joint Director of Animal Husbandry (in-charge) A. Ravichandran said the department received a call from an animal activist on Saturday reporting about a cow with burn injuries. “We provided first aid to the animal and on Sunday morning we traced the owner of the cow to Alwarpuram. He said the cow was grazing in the area and that he did not know how it suffered burn injuries,” he added.
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.
