AIADMK demands closure of pharma unit
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Thursday staged a protest demanding closure of Solara Active Pharma Sciences Limited, Kalapet for “lapses”, resulting in injury to 14 workers in the fire.
Inaugurating the protest, former Minister and party’s organisation secretary D. Jayakumar said the Puducherry government should order closure of the factory. An expert committee should be constituted to look into all aspects of functioning of the factory, he said.
Addressing the gathering, party secretary A. Anbalagan said several mishaps have occurred in the factory. Two people died in a similar accident that occurred last year, he said. The AIADMK leader said the party would expose the misdeeds of AINRC -BJP government in Puducherry, he added.

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.
