The People's Doctor             Mr. Ilayapari is a social worker in the field of health and medicine. He specialises in psychiatric counselling and serves the community through 'cure trust' which is a trust that helps people in need, both monetarily and medically. For the past 18 years, he has been rescuing people who are left injured on the roads and offers them first aid.
