‘There needs to be restrictions during Pongal festival’
Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has asked hospitals to keep adequate bed facilities, oxygen beds and medicines, ready, in the wake of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
Addressing a review meeting of the COVID-19 Task Force, Ms. Soundararajan called for propagating the message that only those with serious conditions visit hospitals.
Arrangements should be in place for offering tele-counselling services.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
