Karaikal: Chief Minister Rangasamy, who is the Minister of Health, is acting irresponsibly. “He should take full responsibility for the spread of cholera in Karaikal,” said former Chief Minister Narayanasamy, “Diarrhea and cholera are spreading in Karaikal district.” Many of the victims are undergoing treatment at the Government General Hospital. Following this, a public health emergency and 144 (2) order has been implemented in the district.
In this case, former Chief Minister Narayanasamy, Vaithilingam MP, State Congress President Subramanian and others visited the cholera-hit Karaikal Medu area yesterday. They heard the grievances of the people and then asked the health officials about the precautionary measures. Later, District President Subbiah, State General Secretary Bhaskaran, Mahila Congress, President Nirmala and others met and consoled those who were suffering from cholera in the government hospital. Former Chief Minister Narayanasamy said that Chief Minister Rangasamy has not come to Karaikal district even after taking over as Chief Minister for one year. The spread of cholera was due to the laxity of the authorities. The main reason for the spread of disease is the lack of provision of clean drinking water to the people. The government continues to ignore Karaikal and the authorities are also lax. Chief Minister Rangasamy should take full responsibility for the spread of cholera. The Chief Minister, who is the Minister of Health, is acting irresponsibly. Karaikal has been neglected due to disagreement between the Chief Minister and the Ministers. The construction of an overhead reservoir brought by the Congress in the Karaikal area has been shelved by the NR Congress government. He said that the post of Food Quality Officer has been vacant in Karaikal for a year.
