The AIADMK’s former coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, on Friday, August 18, 2023 called upon the DMK government to give up any idea of shifting the Secretariat from Fort St. George to the Omandurar Government Estate and relocating the multi super- specialty hospital to the campus of the King Institute of Preventive Medicine and Research, Guindy.
In a statement, he referred to an appeal issued by the president of the Tamil Nadu Secretariat Officers Association regarding the need to shift the Secretariat, on account of congestion on the premises of Fort St. George, and reports of a water leak at the chamber of Food Secretary D. Jagannathan.
This led to the suspicion, Mr. Panneerselvam pointed out, that the DMK government wanted to relocate the multi super-specialty hospital as the hospital was established when late AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa was Chief Minister.
