Chennai: Doctors in three ambulances arrived at the Golden Bay Resort on Monday afternoon to apparently conduct a medical check-up on some of the MLAs who have complaints of diabetes and blood pressure.
The ambulances belonging to a private hospital in Chennai made their way into the resorts, only to come back after one hour. Sources said the doctors went to treat a few MLAs who had complications.
The roads to the resort, which were engulfed in darkness for four days, are lit now, following agitation by locals. Electricity board officials admitted to have repaired the damaged lampposts at the locality. An EB official said, “Many lamp posts remain broken. We have deployed additional staff on Monday afternoon to complete the works.”
Kannamma, a fisherwoman said, “The locality resembled a forest, with no street lights. After threatening to demonstrate, the lights are lit now, even though the locality surrounding the resort remains dark.”
The fisherman community from many hamlets including Adayalachery, Katankadai, Kadalur, Chinna Kuppam, Periya Kuppam, and Alai Kuppam are worried as they anticipate riots on Tuesday, after the Supreme Court judgement in DA case. “We are vulnerable. It is the weak and the poor, who are the sufferers of riots and political clashes,” said a resident from Alai Kuppam, quoting the jallikattu violence.
