"We just want the govt to pay us our salaries in accordance with the GO. Despite letters to CM cell, health minister, and MLAs, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears," said Dr S Perumal Pillai, president of LCC.

"We have decided to march from Dr Lakshmi Narasimhan's Memorial in Mettur all the way to Kalaignar Memorial in Chennai," he added. Speaking to TOI, health minister Ma Subramanian said, "I'm not aware of LCC's demands, nor did anyone approach my office. We can look into it if they give us a list of requests."
