Around 40 kg of ganja was found abandoned in an open yard in the city on Thursday morning.
The narcotic was found by migrant workers engaged in construction work at a property near P.J. Antony Ground at Pachalam. It was found neatly wrapped in a plastic sack and abandoned in the bushes. The workers chanced up on it when they went to collect sand. They alerted their supervisor who in turn informed the North police. A joint team of the North police and the District Anti-Narcotic Special Action Task Force (Dansaf) confirmed it to be ganja.
An investigation is on to find out how such a huge amount of the narcotic was brought to the location and why it was abandoned. The police suspect that it might have been abandoned out of fear of getting caught.

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.
