As a tribute to freedom fighter ‘Tiruppur’ Kumaran on the occasion of his 118th birth anniversary, Chief Minister M. K. Stalin on Monday renamed Sampath Nagar Main Road in the city as ‘Thiyagi Kumaran Road.’
The Chief Minister unveiled the name board during a virtual event from Chennai. Minister for Housing and Urban Development S. Muthusamy, Collector H. Krishnanunni, Corporation Commissioner M. Elangovan, Rajya Sabha MP Anthiyur P. Selvaraj, Erode East MLA E. Thirumahan Everaa and government officials were present at the District collectorate during the event.
On October 3, the government issued a G.O. in this regard. The order followed a request made by the Collector after a resolution was adopted at the Erode Corporation Council meeting.
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.
