Vasan urges T.N. government to act on long-pending demands of doctors
Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Thursday (June 12, 2025) urged the Tamil Nadu government to immediately address the legitimate demands of government doctors in the State. He also warned that continued inaction was both disappointing and detrimental to public healthcare. In a statement, Mr. Vasan said government doctors have been demanding that issues like time-bound promotions, pay parity with Central government doctors, and provision of ex gratia compensation to families of doctors who lost their life during the COVID-19 pandemic be addressed and resolved. Government doctors, nurses, and support staff have been the backbone of the healthcare system, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical care to patients, he noted. He said his party would extend support to the protest march launched by the government doctors association from Salem to Chennai. He urged the State government to fill vacant posts in hospitals, strengthen public health infrastructure, and consider the demands of government doctors without any delay.

Vasan urges T.N. govt to remove hurdles in cooperative farm loan access
Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Wednesday urged the State government to take immediate steps to ensure that farmers have seamless access to agricultural loans through cooperative banks without any unnecessary conditions. In a statement, Mr. Vasan said farmers are already suffering with losses due to natural disasters, labour shortages and rising input costs. Because of such economic hardships they are forced to take loans. However, when they approach cooperative banks for farm loans, they are being denied or delayed due to several criteria such as outstanding loans and low CIBIL scores, he said. Highlighting their plight, farmers have requested that agricultural loans be provided through the cooperative sector without any restrictions, Mr. Vasan said, urging the State government to act swiftly and ensure seamless access to farm loans.
