Appeal to widows of ex-servicemen
The Hindu
They have been urged to wear husbands’ medals at military functions
President of Mysuru-based VeKare Ex-Servicemen Trust Mandetira N. Subramani has called upon the widows of ex-servicemen to wear the medals of their deceased husbands during important military functions and national festivals.
In a statement here, Mr. Subramani said there is no bar on Veer Naaris or widows proudly wearing their deceased husband’s authorised military medals on their chest in a befitting manner while attending military functions, Army, Navy and Air Force Days, besides national festivals like Republic Day and Independence Day.
“Veer Naaris and widows of ex-servicemen wearing the military medals at important military functions and national festivals would send signals loud and clear that their husband’s life was sacrificed for the nation”, he said.

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.
