The Coimbatore District Crime Branch police on Thursday registered a case against AIADMK candidate for Kavundampalayam Assembly constituency P.R.G. Arunkumar on charges of making false statements against the DMK candidate Paiya Gounder aka R. Krishnan. The AIADMK candidate was booked under Section 171 G (False statement in connection with an election) of the Indian Penal Code, based on a complaint lodged by V. Arulkumar, district organiser of DMK’s legal department, said police sources. The complainant alleged that Mr. Arunkumar and other AIADMK functionaries spread unsubstantiated and false allegations against Mr. Krishnan on social media platforms. Coimbatore City Police on Friday transferred seven Intelligence Section (IS) personnel, attached to seven police stations, to the City Armed Reserve as a disciplinary action. Police sources said that the Commissioner of Police, S. Davidson Devasirvatham, ordered the transfers of the seven IS personnel attached to Bazaar Street, R.S. Puram, Saravanampatti, Podanur, Kuniamuthur, Race Course and Singanallur police stations following adverse inputs regarding their conduct. While confirming that some of the transferred personnel received bribes in connection with the upcoming election, the police sources refused to elaborate on the specific reasons behind the transfer.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
