‘Order fully vindicates our position’
Apollo Hospitals on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court’s order to constitute a medical board to assist the Justice A. Arumughaswamy Commission of Inquiry, probing the death of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
The hospital felt the order “fully vindicates” its position that a team of medical experts should have been constituted to aid the Commission in its process.
In a statement, it said it had produced 30 volumes of medical records, close to 6,000 pages, of all material relating to Jayalalithaa’s treatment to the Commission, and 50 doctors, 22 paramedical and support staff have deposed before the panel so far.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
