The dates of Chief Minister’s tour programme are getting scheduled for the month of March.

“The AIADMK government in the past one year has got a record sanction of six medical colleges and the state had also begun the papers work for establishing three more medical colleges. The government as a policy has planned to ensure that all the districts in TN have a medical college,” says former AIADMK MLA KuSrinivasan.
