Aavin milk turns dearer in many areas
The Hindu
At a time when the AIADMK and the DMK are promising to reduce milk prices after being elected to power, Aavin consumers in the city are made to pay 50 paise more than the maximum retail price per packet.
Retailers in some areas have been telling their customers that prices have been revised from March 1 and packet prices have gone up by 50 paise or ₹1 each, said consumers. “I don’t buy milk daily; we buy according to our needs. Two days ago, I went to buy milk and the shopkeeper said the cost had gone up. Then I went to another area and asked shops there too and they said they had indeed increased prices. I was shocked since there was no formal announcement,” said K. Easwaran, a resident of Villivakkam. Aavin officials said that milk prices had not been increased.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
