Former Health Secretary Beela Rajesh was been appointed as the Corona Prevention Officer of the Krishnagiri district by the Government of Tamil Nadu on June 18, 2020.
A twitter user named Viji Nambai had shared the information on Twitter.
Ramesh Murugesan, working with Puthiya Thalaimurai as a special correspondent, took a dig at the former Health Secretary Dr. Beela Rajesh IAS attributing her to a colloquial proverb “Kizhinjidhu Krishnagiri” (roughly translating to Krishnagiri is gone now!).
Many on twitter condemned the remark and asked if Puthiya Thalaimurai endorsed such comments on a senior woman officer who was leading the corona virus battle in the state until she was transferred to the commercial tax department.
