Police to seek custody of security personnel
The nineteen guns seized by the Kalamassery police on Tuesday from a group of security personnel, who usually accompanied vehicles that carry cash to ATM counters, had fake licences, police sources said on Wednesday. The police had sought a report from the ADM of Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir and the report revealed that the guns did not have any record in the district administration in that State. The police also said that the 19 arrested persons were still in judicial custody and the police would seek their custody to question them on the origin of the guns and how they were being used. The search on the premises of the security company and the residences of the security personnel by the police followed the Karamana police in Thiruvananthapuram registering a case against the private security company for possessing unlicensed guns.

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.
