Thousands made a beeline for first edition of Ek Shaam Charminar ke Naam
The first edition of ‘Ek Shaam Charminar ke Naam’ appeared to be a hit with the thousands converging at the heritage precinct of Charminar on Sunday.
Many sauntered, families in tow, soaking in the sights of the historic Charminar, the imposing Mecca Masjid, and its sprawling courtyard, the quaint Jama Masjid and the Government Nizamia General Hospital, popularly known as the Unani Dawakhaana. And as the evening progressed, visitors were seen snacking or shopping at the myriad stalls and small shops.
The Charminar seemed majestic, resplendent in its stucco work, illuminated in virtual drapes of the tricolour, even as laser beams cut the ether casting impressive shapes. A police band rendered a performance later in the evening.

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.
