DSC toughens stance against use of land by school
The Hindu
Management seeks amicable solution to the issue
KANNUR The Defence Service Corps (DSC), which is planning to fence the land in front of St. Michael Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School, has toughened its stance against those using the land by fining them. On Saturday, defence personnel levied fine on those who parked vehicles in the said space. It has apparently caused a rift between the DSC and people living around the cantonment area and the school authorities who were using the land. The school has moved the Kerala High Court against the decision of the DSC, with an appeal to preserve the ground as such for the school to use it. It has also appealed to the court to stop the DSC from reclassifying the space without issuing a notice.
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.
