Discussions gain pace in New Delhi; earlier list under consideration, say sources
The process of selection of president of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) has began yet again in New Delhi and the announcement is likely to be made within a week. Sources said that the consultations are on with the concerned hierarchy within the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee like the PCC chief, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader and other seniors. The list of names of probables will be taken to AICC president Sonia Gandhi for final approval. With AICC incharge for Telangana and Member of Parliament from Madurai Manickam Tagore in New Delhi it was rumoured that he had met Sonia Gandhi to submit his report yet again. However, he was apparently present as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin made a courtesy call on Sonia Gandhi.
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.
