Meets EPS on his return from Delhi
Putting an end to the rumour that he was planning to join the BJP, former Minister K.T. Rajenthra Bhalaji met AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami in Chennai on Thursday. Mr. Bhalaji, who is also AIADMK Virudhunagar West district secretary, said that he met Mr. Palaniswami and recalled that he had been in the party since the days of M.G. Ramachandran, and would not leave it.
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.
