Briefing media persons following his visits to the camps, Mr. Sekarbabu said the special medical camps were being conducted at 90 places, six in every zone, with health workers on duty should the public need them. As many as 15 Urban Community Health Centres and 140 Primary Health Centres are open and provide free treatment.

“Trees have fallen in 30 places only and they have been cleared quickly, restoring regular movement of vehicles. Only the Ganespuram tunnel was waterlogged and that has also been restored. Corporation staff are working round the clock and there is less water stagnation now than in 2021,” he said.
