MADURAI
Rewinding back in time, 11 of the 50 students of the first batch (1954) of Madurai Medical College met at a hotel in Madurai on Tuesday.
Now past 85 years, they came from various parts of the country and went down memory lane. They talked about their college days. The meeting also had the participation of five spouses of doctors who had passed away as a way of expressing their gratitude for the over five decade-old friendship. Out of them, only three continue to see patients. The alumni who met included ex-Vice Principal of MMC Sembon David and retired professor A. Devadoss.
Later, the doctors planted a sapling on the premises of Madurai Medical College in the presence of Dean A. Rathinavel who honoured them.
Justice G. Jayachandran of the Madras High Court has said that Justice G.R. Swaminathan has exhibited bias against the State police by “showing interest in passing orders hastily without consulting the Bench partner (Justice P.B. Balaji)“ in a habeas corpus petition filed against the preventive detention of YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar alias A. Shankar under the Goondas Act.
