Tamil Nadu installs ANPR, upgrades hospitals
Get ready for high-tech upgrades: highways will get ANPR cameras to catch speeding and track vehicles, just like Kerala did successfully.
Plus, 25 government hospitals and primary health centers will be upgraded into emergency response centers, with ambulances with doctors and life-saving equipment so help arrives more quickly when it matters most.
