A man immolated himself and his partner, who was sleeping on one of bays in CMBT, Koyambedu, in the early hours of Saturday. The police said the victims were platform dwellers. The police identified the victim as Muthu, 48, who was a labourer in Vadapalani, and the woman as Shanthi, 46, a conservancy worker in Koyambedu. They had been in a relationship for a few months, the police said. Muthu was angry since she was seeing another man. At 1.30 a.m, Muthu came to the platform near the fourth bay, where Shanthi was sleeping, and set them both on fire. Passengers and shopkeepers put out the flames and alerted the police.More Related News

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.
