First of all, pass an order

to seize the sand truck at once

I give you time till 3:00 p.m

Otherwise a major protest will be staged

this evening with the President leading it

You should be taking care

of law and order, Collector sir

First leave this place

Collector sir, hold this

Yov! What are you doing?

- Hold it, sir

- What's wrong with you?

What's all this?

Go...go...clear out

What about the function, sir?

First chase him away

We can go later

- Where are we going?

- To General Hospital, sir

'Jesus will do everything'

He'll shepherd you

Praise be to the Almighty!

Jesus will guide you

every step of the way

- He will save you from all sickness

- Praise the Lord!

Jesus will show you the path to take

The Lord will protect you

from disease and distress

Praise the Lord!

(Prayer)

How will Jesus protect?

How will Jesus save

the man in the gutters?

Last month in this same hospital...

...12 children died

due to lack of nutrition

2 pregnant women died

because of wrong anesthesia

Neither Jesus nor Goddess Shakthi

came to their aid!

Only the Govt should

protect the people

Why is everything stuck here?

What happened to all the files

we sent from Pappireddi 'bhavan'?

Why is the chief doctor still not here?

Don't raise your voice

Please leave now

Chief doctor hasn't come yet

He must be in his own

clinic in a dirty alley

He must have got hold of some nitwit

and carrying out 101 tests on him

It's too much torture

I'll complain to the police

Will you complain?

Will you file a complaint against

the President who came on his rounds?

Mannan, please stay calm

I'll explain to him

I'll take care

You carry on, doctor

No, sister

I'll inform them

to clean it right away

We'll take the patient to the ward

You please come along

You want to meet Akila, right?

Okay, come with me

She is staring blankly

without moving

I'm scared to just look at her!

I told you, nothing can be done here

There's a blood clot in her brain

We don't have the facility

Go to a private hospital like Apollo

How can you even say this?

What is the Govt there for?

Shall we then vote

for Apollo's staff?

Whom will these poor people turn to?

Sir, I just stated a fact

What, sir?

Sir, I have no money

We got only 1/2 the money

though it was meant as compensation

Don't know how even

that money got spent!

- Name...?

- Valavan

- Initial...?

- R

'I've written a check for 500000'

'Please collect it from

the President's fixed deposit'

Akila will wake up

Please take it

I've spoken to the press and media

If we publish an article on Akila,

we might get financial help

They have promised to

come sometime this week

Most important news, sir
