‘Withdraw cases against her and take disciplinary action against police personnel’
Telugu Mahila State president and TDP politburo member V. Anitha has termed the action of the city police on Lakshmi Aparna, an employee of a hospital, as ‘inhuman’. Speaking to the media here on Monday, she condemned the booking of cases against Ms. Aparna. Ms. Anitha said that Ms. Aparna had come to the city for work and had questioned the police for their ‘high-handed’ behaviour on the boy, who had come to pick her up after work. Ms. Aparna did not want the boy to suffer because of her, Ms. Anitha said.![](/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.
