CM to open eco park soon
Sewage treatment plants will be set up at 16 points to clean water from major inlets into the Pallikaranai marsh, Minister for Environment Siva V. Meyyanathan said here on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters after inspecting the marsh along with officials and South Chennai MP Thamizhachi Thangapandian, he said that this would be carried out using CSR funds.
“Chief Minister M.K.Stalin has expressed his wish to see the marsh get clean water. At present, the oxygen levels are not up to the mark in the 640-hectare marsh,” he said.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
