To ensure adequate oxygen supply to COVID-19 patients waiting for hospitalisation at the Government Erode Medical College Hospital (GEMCH) at Perundurai, two vehicles fitted with oxygen concentrators are stationed on the hospital premises. Sponsored by Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana, Minister for Housing and Urban Development S. Muthusamy flagged off the vehicles with oxygen concentrators of five litres capacity each at the Corporation’s Central Office at Panneerselvam Park on Monday. Each concentrator could supply oxygen to four patients at a time, thus helping save lives while waiting at the hospital.
In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
