The Hindu
Victim youths Angel Reang and Abhijit Debbarma alleged they were severely beaten up at the traffic unit office.
Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Alliance (TIPRA), a powerful regional political party, on Friday demanded exemplary punishment to traffic police officers and personnel who allegedly thrashed and injured two college students here on Thursday. The party set a three-day ultimatum to the police authorities to commence proceedings; else threatened to launch protests.
A few officers and personnel of the traffic unit were engaged in regulating traffic to facilitate VIP movement when they allegedly detained the youths for placing their vehicle in the middle of the road in the Circuit House area. The youths had argued that the vehicle developed mechanical snag and thus got stuck.

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.
