They express concern over continuation of temporary market on WB Road
With the State government lifting curbs on several trading activities in some of the districts from Monday, the Tiruchi district administration has begun consultation with various stakeholders on the ways and means to continue the wholesale and retail trading of vegetables and fruits on West Boulevard Road in the city As a part of its efforts to avoid overcrowding at Gandhi Market so as to check the spread of COVID-19, the Tiruchi Corporation closed it about three weeks ago and shifted the retail and wholesale operations of the market to West Boulevard Road.
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.
