Process is set to be completed by the first week of May
The Public Works Department has accelerated work to provide oxygen pipelines for nearly 12,770 additional COVID-19 beds being created across the State.
The project is expected to address the increasing demand for healthcare facilities to cope with the second wave of the infection.
Work to provide nearly 3,000 additional beds with oxygen lines has been completed. Most have been immediately put to use. The department plans to complete the entire project by the first week of May to provide vital infrastructure for patients in need of oxygen support.
PWD officials said additional facilities were being created at 168 hospitals, including district headquarters and taluk hospitals and government medical college hospitals as emergency works.
Fisherfolk grapple with unresolved issues amidst pollution, poor infrastructure
A long coastline and scores of industries have shaped the identity of Tiruvottiyur constituency. The latest infrastructural addition, the Metro, has undoubtedly changed the skyline of a segment of this constituency starting from Kaladipet to Wimco Nagar but at the ground level, a number of issues, such as industrial pollution and factors affecting the livelihood of fisherfolk, still remain unaddressed.
Nearly 20 fishing villages and a number of highly industrialised areas make up a major portion of Tiruvottiyur in Tiruvallur. The constituency includes areas such as Tiruvottiyur, Manali, Chinnasekkadu, Ernavoor and Kathivakkam. The coastline extending from the fishing villages of Nalla Thaneer Odai Kuppam to Nettukuppam, Thalankuppam, falls in the constituency.
