There has been a stir due to a video circulating in Meensurutty Primary health Center near Jeyangondam where people from the Irular tribe have been employed in a 100-day work scheme to dispose of expired medical waste. ariyalur district Meensurutty Puduth Street is inhabited by the people of Ilurar tribe. In this case, they have been given a 100-day job under the mahatma gandhi National Rural Development Scheme at Meensuruti Primary health Centre. panchayat workers Praveena and Annadurai said that the district collector and panchayat president told them to clean the outdated medical waste in the old building of the primary health center without any safety equipment.
When they refused, they said that if they don't clean it, there will be no work. Also, inside the primary health center, the hospital building near the Chittagong Division is smelling like a dead dog in the building. In this case, patients are coming to that hospital. The person who went to dispose of this outdated primary health care medical waste suffered from vomiting and fainting and was treated at the hospital. And disposing of these wastes without equipment, there is a risk of infection and spreading the disease to all the people in the family. Therefore, Ilurar tribal people have requested that appropriate action should be taken, and we are also using the same hospital. Therefore, they have requested to clean the hospital surroundings and protect the patients coming to the hospital from spreading the disease.
