Colachel residents say they are always sidelined
After a government medical college hospital was established at Asaripallam near Nagercoil, Colachel residents hoped that the importance given to Kottar Government Hospital would be shifted to their GH. But Thuckalay was preferred to Colachel with a 78-year-old hospital, much to their dismay.
A resident, R. Sateesh Bharathi, who is contesting the election, said when seriously injured fishermen were brought ashore or when emergencies arose, the patients had to be rushed all the way to inland Thuckalay. The Colachel GH must be developed as a multi-speciality hospital with facilities for post mortem, surgeries and other medical care. “Since our town comes under Kalkulam taluk, we want a separate taluk so that our demands can be better represented through the tahsildar,” he said.
