The AIADMK’s Royapuram candidate and Fisheries Minister D. Jayakumar’s campaigns have been colourful — he has been clicking selfies with voters during his pedestrian campaigns. A newly-wed couple even joined him in his campaign. On Thursday, when he visited a mosque, he even borrowed the drum of a singer and sang a song, ‘Yaahi yaahi wallah’. Though he plans to cover around 25 streets a day, he ends up covering fewer due to the additional time being taken for the campaign, says his campaign team.

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.
