The body of a fisherman Palanivel was laid to rest at Kannirajapuram near Sayalkudi here on Sunday. On April 11, 14 fishermen including seven from Ramanathapuram and Kanniyakumari and another seven from West Bengal and Assam ventured into the sea in a mechanised boat for deep sea fishing off Mangalore coast. Following a collision with a cargo ship from Singapore, the mechanised boat capsized in the sea. While Velmurugan of Kannirajapuram and another Sunil Das from West Bengal were saved by the staff in the cargo ship, whereabouts of the remaining fishermen were not known.

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.
