The Tamil Nadu State Assembly Assurance Committee on Thursday expressed displeasure over the quality of a building constructed at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital.

Chairman of the Committee T. Velmurugan told reporters that cracks were noticed in the building constructed at an estimate of ₹1.57 crore on the hospital premises. The Committee has directed the officials of the Public Works Department to take steps to set right the issue. It has recommended that the contractor be made accountable and blacklisted.

The committee inspected the upgradation work at the Circuit House, establishment of an ice cream plant of the Tiruchi Aavin, construction of exhibition hall at the Tamil Nadu National Law University and the buildings constructed for the Fort police station.

S. Aravind Ramesh, R. Arul, M. Chakkarapani,, A. Nallathambi and S. Mangudi were among the members of the Committee. Earlier, they held a meeting with Durai Vaiko, MP, Collector M. Pradeep Kumar, and Police Commissioner N. Kamini.
