Not well: Members of Tamil Nadu Assembly Assurances Committee, led by T. Velmurugan (second left), inspecting a building at the Tirupur Government Hospital on Friday.
TIRUPUR: Tamil Nadu Assembly Assurances Committee, headed by Panrutti MLA T. Velmurugan, on Friday pulled up the District Headquarters Government Hospital authorities here over poor sanitary condition on the premises. After visiting the wards along with the panel members, Mr. Velmurugan said: “There is little cleanliness inside the hospital. Garbage, food and medical wastes are dumped inside the wards. This is the worst hospital in terms of sanitary condition among the Government Hospitals we have visited so far.” He said the committee had condemned the Joint Director and Superintendent of the hospital for failing to keep the hospital clean despite having adequate number of conservancy workers. The Namakkal and Karur District Headquarters Government Hospitals had been maintained well, he said and instructed the duo to visit those hospitals and learn. Mr. Velmurugan also asked the Public Works Department officials to take up renovation works at the hospital soon as many walls and sunshades were on the verge of collapse. The committee instructed the Superintending Engineer of the PWD to prepare estimates in a week for the renovation and repair works. Effluent treatment
After inspecting the progress at a common effluent treatment plant in Murugampalayam here, Mr. Velmurugan told media persons that they had received complaints from various quarters that many dyeing units had been discharging untreated effluents as they were not operating the reverse osmosis plants to avoid electricity charges. He said thousands of acres of land and the Noyyal River were getting polluted owing to the discharge. He asked the dyeing unit owners who had installed the plants to operate them. Mr. Velmurugan said the panel would recommend to the Government to release grant for the setting up of treatment plants and establishing electricity infrastructure to operate them. He said the panel would suggest construction of a bus stand on the southern part of Tirupur to reduce congestion at the old bus stand.
