PUDUCHERRY: Chief minister N Rangasamy on Thursday reiterated that all the retrenched workers numbering around 4500 would be reinstated.Replying to opposition members in the Assembly, he said the government was examining the ways they could be accommodated and the finance required. The government has no intentions of vengeance on any one and cited financial difficulties in employing them immediately, said Rangasamy. When members questioned the new people engaged by the government in Indira Gandhi Medical college and Research Institute , Rajiv Gandhi Women and Children Hospital and Mahatma Gandhi Dental college and Post Graduate Institute, Rangasamy said that no new people were employed and that around 300 women employees who had become jobless after the government unit of Texpro was closed down by the previous government had been taken after forming a cooperative .When AIADMK Floor leader A Anbazhagan questioned the government on the appointment of chairmen for the three textile mills despite the poor financial status of textiles mills, Rangasamy said that it has been done with the intension to set right the functioning of the mills. K Lakshminarayan (Congress) said that already one year has passed since the assurance given in the previous assembly, but it has still not materialised with the families of the retrenched employees suffering a lot. Earlier, AIADMK member staged a walk out from the Assembly protesting against the non-availability of replies to question on the steps that the government had taken to reinstate around 4000 retrenched government employees. Prior to that DMK Floor leader A M H Nazeem staged a walk out protesting against the chair’s decision of not taking up the adjournment motion on the issue based on the petition given him, while allowing AIADMK floor leader A Anbazhagan to raise the same issue. Questioning the Speaker V.Sabapathy under what rules he had allowed the AIADMK, Nazim, said that it was a discrimination. Speaker replied that rules were different from practice. As per rules he had not allowed but as per practice since Anbazhagan had started speaking he had allowed it. The reply did not satisfy the DMK man who staged a walk out.Congress member ‘Theni’ C Jayakumar entered the house blowing a conch in protest against ‘failure’ of government to extend cyclone relief to Mangalam constituency he represents. Later he along with other members of the Congress and DMK questioned the government on improper relief distribution. The Chief minister while stating that there were grievances in all constituencies said that he would look into the issues.
