Taking exception to the apathy of the State government towards the indefinite strike of transport employees seeking fulfilment of their rightful demands, several employees of NWKRTC staged a silent protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Dharwad on Monday. Leading the protest, honorary president of Dharwad Division KSRTC Employees League P.H. Neeralakeri said that although the workers have been on strike for the last 13 days, the State government instead of redressing their grievances, was trying to snub the protest through illegal means. He said that steps such as trying to evict the employees from residential quarters, not paying salaries for the month of March, registering fake cases are being taken. He said that although the employees wanted to file complaints, they were not being received and the police were being used to threaten the employees. “If at all the government wants to take legal action, let it take. We are ready to face it,” 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.
