‘Guidelines not followed’
The Tamil Nadu State Election Commission (TNSEC) has rescinded the ordinary elections in all wards in Kadambur town panchayat in Thoothukudi district, originally scheduled on February 19.
An official release from the TNSEC said the were being rescinded since election officials for the said first grade town panchayat “had not followed the guidelines issued by the Commission.” It did not elaborate further.
The TNSEC has directed the Thoothukudi district Collector/district Election Officer to disciplinary action against the election officials concerned. “Fresh dates for conducting elections in Kadambur town panchayat would be announced later,” it said.

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.
