The Tamil Nadu government’s reported move to establish a second All India Institute of Medical Sciences hospital in the State in Coimbatore has come as a shock to residents of Thanjavur region. The Thanjavur District Makkal Nala Pervai,a forum floated by activists during 2014-15 to impress upon the Central and State governments to set up AIIMS hospital at the sprawling 205 acres near the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Tuberculosis and Chest Diseases Hospital complex at Sengipatti, has urged the State government to reconsider the decision. A resolution to this effect was adopted at the general body meeting chaired by its president, Thyagarajan, here on Sunday. Chief Minister M. K. Stalin during his visit to New Delhi recently has submitted a proposal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting an AIIMS hospital at Coimbatore in addition to the one already sanctioned at Thoppur, Madurai district, the Peravai said.More Related News
