Condemning the pathetic conditions prevailing in their quarantine facility at the hostel, 330 postgraduate students of Tirunelveli Medical College began an indefinite strike on Friday. However, the protesting students have made it clear that they would continue to serve in the emergency ward where the COVID-19 patients were undergoing treatment. The agitating postgraduate medicos, who have to work in the COVID-19 wards for prolonged hours, complained that they were attending patients with the deadly viral infection in shifts but had no proper place to take rest on the hospital premises and even during the quarantine period.

During the lockdown on Sundays
The corporation, which fed over 700 homeless during the complete lockdown on April 24 after preparing the food in its ‘Amma Unavagam,’ has planned to cover more number of people during the lockdown on coming Sunday also. “This number includes the patients undergoing treatment in the Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital and their attendants,” said G. Kannan, Corporation Commission. Though the corporation’s finances are not so healthy, it fed the homeless during the complete lockdown between April and June last year until ruling AIADMK’s Tirunelveli district secretary N. Ganesa Raja took the responsibility of giving free ‘food tokens’ of Amma Unavagam to the roofless until the situation improved.
