Collector R. Sudalaikannan presided over the programme.

Former Minister N.K.K. Periyasamy, Mayor K. Kumar Murugesh, Sakthi Masala Managing Directors P.C. Duraisamy and Shanthi Duraisamy, District Sports Officer V. Karunanidhi, Hospital Managing Director T.S. Chellakumarasamy, Doctors C. Kalpana and T. Vijayakumar were present.
