Submit report on actions taken to establish Indian medicine university in Tirunelveli: Madras HC to TN Govt
Madurai: Observing that despite earlier directions to establish the university for Indian medicine in Tirunelveli, no steps were taken by the Tamil Nadu government in the past four years, the Madras High Court has now directed the State to submit a report on the actions taken by it to establish the university at the soonest.
In its earlier directions, the court had asked the Government to establish a university of medicine in the Tirunelveli district. On Tuesday, the court sought the state government's response regarding the progress of the same.
This came in wake of a plea filed by a former student of Siddha Medical College and Hospital, Palayamkottai, S Vijai Vikraman, back in 2016 seeking to retrain the authorities from demolishing the existing buildings until the construction of a new one. During a hearing then, the judges had disposed of the petition and restrained the authorities from demolishing the old buildings until a new one gets constructed at Chettikulam, Tirunelveli.
