Madurai Madurai-based Green Land India Trust moved the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday seeking a direction to the State to take appropriate action against former City Engineer (in-charge ) S. Arasu for allegedly mining and selling gravel sand deposits found during excavation at the site of the construction of Periyar bus stand, Madurai A Division Bench of Justices N. Kirubakaran and M. Duraiswamy ordered notice to the State and Mr. Arasu. The petitioner M. Aravind Balaji, the founder of the trust, said that Periyar bus stand was being expanded under the smart city project. Gravel sand is a mineral. Lifting of the same from a place needs to be approved by the Department of Geology and Mining.
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.
