The hostel accommodation block building will be ready very soon. Lakhs of bricks are there to see in Madurai AIIMS location right now because some people have commented by showing a single brick to criticize that construction had not happened, but the reality is different” the AIADMK MLA Mr.V.V.Rajan Chellappa has said after his site visit at Thoppur today and after interacting with the officials on February 6th 2026.
