The district administration has temporarily suspended approval given to a private hospital for COVID-19 treatment after it was found violating the State government’s guidelines. Collector Shreya P. Singh said in a release that a monitoring team had been deployed under Joint Director, Health Services, to conduct checks at private hospitals and laboratories here and ensure adherence to COVID-19 protocols. According to health officials, permission to treat COVID-19 patients was temporarily suspended to a private hospital in Rasipuram. The officials said patients who were overcharged by two private hospitals in Tiruchengode were also refunded and the hospitals were issued show cause notices.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
