In general,  the association wanted more security in the GHs and some restriction to visitors to the ICU and important wards. During the previous ADMK rule, visitors  pass was given to check overcrowd in the wards.  Some time restrictions were also enforced. After people's protest, the system was withdrawn. But the rules were still existed. We didn't want to restore such norms. But some restrictions to check over crowd and due security to doctors and staff. The government should fill up all posts in the health department.
