Puducherry politician calls for direct aid to Enam residents

Puducherry State Congress leader Vaithilingam MP has called for direct relief to be provided to the residents of Enam affected by a storm, emphasizing that aid should reach people without intermediaries.

Vaithilingam announced that through CSR funds, an ambulance valued at 70 lakh rupees will be provided to the Puducherry government within 10 days. Additionally, 57 ICU beds and five more ambulances are being arranged for Puducherry and Karaikal.

The leader also raised concerns regarding legal actions in cases involving expired and counterfeit medicines. While a CBI officer was reportedly arrested in connection with a counterfeit medicine case, Vaithilingam alleged that the state government has not taken sufficient action against those involved in cases valued at 10,000 crore rupees and 5,000 crore rupees respectively. He threatened to approach the court or initiate public protests if necessary.

Furthermore, he highlighted issues regarding public safety and financial mismanagement, citing the alleged theft of 8.5 crore rupees from a dental college.
