A Government Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Vadavalli, Coimbatore district, has become the centre of controversy after allegations surfaced that a DMK functionary had converted part of the public health facility into his residence.
According to local reports and videos circulating on social media, Shyamsundar, who is identified as the Sub-Organiser of the DMK Engineers Wing, has allegedly been staying inside the government PHC building along with his family.
The PHC, which is meant to provide medical services to the public, was reportedly found with household items inside the premises. Residents and activists claimed that cooking vessels and beds had been placed in areas intended for medical use, raising concerns about misuse of government property meant for healthcare services.
A video that has since gone viral online shows a social activist confronting Shyamsundar about his presence in the facility. During the exchange, the activist questioned who had granted him permission to stay inside the government building.
In response, Shyamsundar can be heard saying that he had been staying there after receiving permission from a doctor associated with the health centre.
The incident has triggered criticism on social media, with several users questioning how a government medical facility could allegedly be used as a private residence and demanding action from authorities.
