Two abandoned women with mental health issues reunited with families in Coimbatore
COIMBATORE: Two women aged 50 and 51 with mental health issues who were found abandoned in the city in 2023 were reunited with their families on Tuesday by Helping Hearts, a non-profit organisation which rescued and treated them. The 50-year-old woman, who was rescued on November 25, 2023 in Selvapuram, is a native of Odisha. Sources said a year ago, she came to Coimbatore with her husband looking for a job. However, her husband, who was addicted to liquor, deserted her. The other woman is from Kanchipuram district. She was rescued on October 8 at Vadugapalayam near Pollachi. She became mentally ill after the death of her husband and two sons. A year ago, while returning after seeing her daughter, she lost her way and reached Coimbatore by train. Helping Hearts rescued the two and admitted them in the Emergency Care and Rescue Centre for homeless people with mental illness at Mettupalayam. The home is run by an NGO supported by the Coimbatore district administration. After regular treatment and counselling by the doctors of Mettupalayam government hospital and social workers, the two recovered and recalled their identities and family details. Y Thilagavathi, a psychiatric social worker of Helping Hearts, said, The two slowly recovered from the trauma and started to recall their identities. Though they did not recognize their native exactly, they revealed the district and state. The Odisha woman was from Pappadahandi town in Nabarangpur district. We approached Coimbatore police to locate her family on July 9. After investigation, police shared the contact details and location of her family. We confirmed their claim through a video call. It was a pleasant surprise to the family. She was taken to Visakhapatnam by train and united with her family. The Kanchipuram woman was united with her family at Arakkonam railway station. The two women were rescued in a similar condition - laughing on their own, incoherent speech and wandering behaviour. While it was difficult for them to recall their own identity, it was challenging for us to identify their native. However, we understand their mother tongue and the treatment provided at the shelter at Mettupalayam healed them and somehow they recalled their native. We identified their family members through the local police and reintegrated them on Tuesday, said M Ganesh, Managing trustee of Helping Hearts.

Bus corporations, workers oppose Tamil Nadu govts minibus plan
CHENNAI: The state governments proposal to extend minibus services to more areas across the state seems to be facing headwinds as the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) and six other corporations of the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC), along with the employees federation of transport corporations, have opposed the plan at the public hearing conducted in Chennai on Monday by the Home (Transport) department. The department issued a draft notification last month for a New Comprehensive Mini Bus Scheme 2024 to extend bus connectivity to more places across the state, including Chennai, Coimbatore, and other urban areas. Under the scheme, operators will be permitted to run buses up to a distance of 25km, with 17km on un-served routes and up to 8km on routes served by government or private buses. Currently, the maximum distance allowed for a minibus is 20km, with 4km allowed on served routes. Speaking at the public hearing, Alby John Varghese, Managing Director, MTC, said that in continuation with the practice followed in metropolitan cities, private players should not be allowed to run buses in Chennai city. He further mentioned that the draft notification permits the operation of minibuses in eight zones in extended areas of Chennai, designating them as unserved areas, though the MTC operates 1,700 buses in these areas. He stressed that a real-time monitoring system for minibuses should be established to prevent violations by operators before launching the scheme. Of 6,500 permits in 1999, only 2,977 still active, say bus operators R Ponmudi, MD of TNSTC (Salem), who voiced the views of six corporations, said that 40% to 45% of ticket revenue for town services of bus corporations comes from the first four stages of buses from their originating point. The first four stages of town buses cover 7 to 8 km. If minibus operators are allowed to run buses for 8 km under the revised scheme, the earnings of town buses will be significantly impacted, he said. Meanwhile, minibus operators who are operating as per the existing scheme, demanded priority in permit allocation under the revised scheme. The bus operators said that since its inception in 1997, the minibus scheme had been unviable due to poor planning and implementation. Of the 6,500 permits issued in 1999-2000, only 2,977 are currently active, and of them only 1,500 buses are in operation, they said. Home secretary Dheeraj Kumar, transport commissioner Shunchonngam Jatak and other transport department officials took part in the public hearing held in Chennai. K Kodiarasan, president, TN Mini Bus Owners Federation, said that operators have been serving thousands of villages for nearly 25 years and want preference in permit allocation under new scheme. He demanded an amendment to the draft notification which prescribes that origination and termination of minibuses should only be on unserved routes. If buses terminate at unserved places, last-mile connectivity such as autos wont be available for passengers. Either the starting or termination point should be a bus stand or another major junction, he said. Sujatha Senthilkumar, a mini bus operator added, Permits for auto rickshaws, which had been restricted for years, are now being issued if they run on CNG. If 25 auto rickshaws are stationed at every major junction, operating minibuses wont be viable.
Tamil Nadu: Two-year re-wilding bid fails, tiger taken to Vandalur zoo
COIMBATORE: Two weeks after the principal chief conservator of forests and chief wildlife warden Srinivas R Reddy informed the Madras High Court that a tiger (ANM-T56) could not be released into the wild, a team of forest department staff, with the help of veterinarians, shifted the big cat to the Arignar Anna Zoological Park in Chennai in a special ambulance from Manthirimattam near Valparai on Monday. Sources said the tiger was shifted to a specially designed cage that was brought from Vandalur between 11 and 11.30 am on Monday and is expected to reach the destination on Tuesday. Bhargava Teja, deputy director of Anamalai Tiger Reserve said, The animal can go without food over 24 hours, which is usual. It will not be sedated during the journey, We will strictly follow NTCA guidelines and maintain speed of the ambulance below 40 kmph. The forest department staff closed the squeeze cage that is placed inside the tigers current natural environment of 10,000 sq ft enclosure at Manthirimattam after it entered it on Sunday night. From the squeeze cage, we shifted the big cat to the ambulance after giving a mild sedation on Monday morning. Manombolly forest range officer K Giritharan along with veterinary assistant surgeon of Vandalur zoo K Sridhar and forest veterinary officer E Vijayaragavan are accompanying the animal, Bhargava Teja said, adding they have been taking care of the abandoned tiger since September 21, 2021. We will provide it water once every two to three hours, and if required, feed it too. It depends on the animals behaviour. We have beef and chicken ready. We also have medical kits ready to provide emergency treatment if the animal falls ill during the journey, one of the veterinarians said. The animal has had more interaction with humans in the last two and half years. Also, it was operated upon for a canine surgery. The animal doesnt have the right upper canine, which is not suitable for it to hunt prey aggressively like other tigers if released in the wild. Taking care of the animal is a big achievement for us, its health has improved significantly since we rescued it, said a senior forest department official.

Meanwhile, the girl's parents T Balachander and Archana Sivaramakrishnan, released a video advisory on the steps that need to be taken to protect children from electrocution. Speaking to TNIE, Archana said, There are two types of parks in gated communities. One that is built on OSR land which is monitored by the local body. The other type is a park built on private land like the one in our gated community where we lost our daughter. We have petitioned the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department to bring all such parks under their monitoring and to certify them based on the safety norms to prevent such incidents. Though Tantransco and Coimbatore city municipal corporation issued advisories to the public, Balachander and Archana are raising awareness about simple safety measures through social media. They have posted a one-minute video message titled '4 steps to keep your children safe in your children's park'. In 2022, a similar accident happened near Vadavalli. We released the video hoping ours would be the last loss to negligence and no other child would would suffer in future. They should enjoy safe environment at the parks, Archana added.
King cobra rescued, released into Kunukku Madavu reserve forest in TN
COIMBATORE: A 13-foot-long king cobra was rescued from the bushes near MGR Nagar adjacent to Palapatti village near Mettupalayam on Sunday morning and was released inside the Kunukku Madavu reserve forest. As villagers were taking their cattle for grazing, they noticed the movement of a king cobra on Saturday evening. Thinking that it would move into the bushes, they did not inform the officials. However, as the villagers noticed it again on Sunday morning they informed Sirumugai forest range officer, K Manoj who later sought snake rescuers Shahul Hameed and Kaja Moideen attached to the Wildlife and Nature Conservation Trust (WNCT) help to rescue the snake. Manoj said that the female snake was three-year-old and was healthy. We have released it inside the Kunukku Madavu reserve forest where the environment is suitable. Hameed said that they suspect that the cobra was unable to move back into the bushes as it was tired after mating. He added, We suspect that the male cobra is also roaming around near Palapatti. However, we could not find it. We checked the health of the female cobra before releasing it into the forest and it was healthy and it weighed seven kilograms.

In a post on X, Stalin called for approval of the Coimbatore and Madurai Metro Rail projects, expediting announced railway projects in Tamil Nadu and increase in expenditure limits for houses constructed under rural and urban housing schemes. Responding to Stalins demands on X, BJP state president K Annamalai said over the last 10 years, the centre has provided schemes worth Rs 10.76 lakh crore to the state, which amounts to double the direct tax contribution of Tamil Nadu. He criticised Stalin for posting a message written without understanding the roles of the central and state governments. Annamalai said the centre has been funding projects like the expansion of East Coast Road and the Maduravoyal-Port elevated corridor amounting to Rs 9,386 crore and Rs 5,800 crore respectively. He also said the centre has allocated Rs 2 lakh crore for NH projects in Tamil Nadu over the last 10 years and Rs 6,331 crore for railway projects against the Rs 800 crore allocated for railway projects during 2009-2014 by the UPA government.

Hit by yield loss, farmers urge Tamil Nadu government to boost seed production
TIRUCHY: With about 75% of farmers seed demand said to be met by private agencies despite such supply being blamed for paddy cultivation failure over about 1,000 acres in the district during the last kuruvai season, they seek the state government to boost production with measures like their direct involvement to ensure better quality and yield. Farmers say they currently procure about 20% of the seed demand from the Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department and produce 5% on their own through seed village schemes. With them saying the rest of the demand depends heavily on private suppliers, N Veerasekaran, the state spokesperson of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, stressed that the agriculture department should offer technical guidance and facilitate seed sales through cooperative channels. He also advocated for the establishment of additional seed villages in every union to complement government efforts, while pointing out how unused land parcels owned by agricultural colleges and training centres could be utilised for seed production. Further, farmers proposed the formation of district-level committees dedicated to seed management, comprising district officials, agricultural experts and experienced farmers. This is among the demands concerning seed production that farmers during a consultation meeting held in Tiruchy last week decided to place with Chief Minister MK Stalin in person. Meanwhile, agriculture officials differ with the farmers, saying that the department has been supplying 35% to 40% of the seed demand through agriculture extension centres, which procure from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore. Further, village seed groups meet 10% to 15% of the demand, while the remaining is sourced from private agencies, they said. R Sugumar, assistant director of agriculture (Tiruchy), told TNIE that several seed village groups have been formed in the district, including nine seed village groups in Lalgudi block alone. We have supplied 46 tonnes of paddy seeds to farmers in Lalgudi block alone this kuruvai season. Despite the agriculture department providing a fine variety of seeds resistant to pests, farmers are enticed by private agencies selling uncertified seeds. This is the primary reason for their losses. Farmers prefer fine varieties, anticipating good prices for their produce in the open market but their expectations often go unmet, Sugumar said.
135 new BS VI buses added to TNSTC fleet in a week
CHENNAI: The state transport corporations have gradually begun replacing damaged and worn-out government buses with new BS VI buses, as 10 to 25 new vehicles were introduced in each region across the state. A total of 135 new buses were introduced by the Villupuram, Salem, Coimbatore, and Madurai TNSTC divisions between July 11 and 17, bringing the total number of new buses introduced since the DMK assumed office to 1,404. This initiative is part of the state governments plan to introduce 7,682 new buses to enhance public transport accessibility and efficiency. These new buses are in addition to the 850 BS IV buses that were renovated and reintroduced last year. Of the 135 buses, 101 have been deployed on mofussil routes, while the rest replaced ordinary buses used for the free travel scheme for women and others. More buses are to be inaugurated in Tirunelveli and other places. We plan to replace 200 to 250 buses every month, a senior official said. In the past, the transport department would inaugurate large number of buses such as 100, 200 or 500, after being flagged off by the chief minister in Chennai. Bus manufacturing companies and body-building units only dispatch 15 to 25 buses at a time. Holding buses for inauguration for several days leads to huge financial losses for the corporations. Considering that over 50% of the fleet (nearly 9,800 buses) is overaged, the new buses are being inducted at regional or district-level functions, the official explained. For town services, the government has placed an order for 552 low-floor buses, of which 352 are earmarked for MTC Chennai, 100 for TNSTC Coimbatore and 100 for TNSTC Madurai. Sources said new low-floor buses for MTC and SETC, recently dispatched by the manufacturers, are being registered at RTOs in Chennai. About 30 to 35 MTC and SETC buses have been registered and will be inaugurated soon, said an official. The new services are being introduced in high-demand routes, replacing damaged buses. We also prioritise reintroducing buses that were stopped during the lockdown, added the official. The 135 buses were introduced on routes such as Kalpakkam - Bengaluru, Kilambakkam - Tiruchy, and Puducherry/Chennai/Kancheepuram - Tirupati by Villupuram Corporation. The Coimbatore TNSTC inducted these buses to serve commuters travelling to Mysuru from Erode and Coimbatore, from Ooty to Madurai, Palakkad, Kallikottai, and Cannanore, and from Mettupalayam to Tiruchy, among other routes. The proposed 7,682 new buses include 1,000 vehicles planned for each of the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24, and 3,000 new buses for 2024-25. Additionally, 16 new buses are slated for procurement under the Special Area Development Programme and 2,666 buses are planned for purchase with funding from KfW, a German-based bank. The 3,000 buses proposed for 2024-25 include 1,000 low-floor electric buses for MTC funded by the World Bank. Additionally, 500 electric buses will be procured through loans from KfW. In total, the MTC plans to acquire 1,500 electric buses. The daily patronage of government buses stands at 1.76 crore passengers, including 51.5 lakh women and others who utilise free travel services in 7,179 ordinary buses.
Wild jumbos claim one more life in Idukki
IDUKKI: Wild elephants claimed one more life in Idukki, this time of a 47-year-old tribal community member. Kannan of Tank Kudi in Chinnakkanal was attacked and killed by a herd of wild elephants that strayed into the farmland in Vannathipara on Sunday. Residents said the herd, which included nine female elephants, entered the farmland in the morning. Tribal residents, including Kannan, hailing from various settlements in the panchayat tried to chase the elephants back into the forest. Around 5.30 pm, Kannan accidentally landed in front of the herd which attacked him and trampled him to death. His body could be recovered only after more people reached the spot and chased the elephants away. Kannans body was shifted to the taluk hospital in Adimaly. Frequent wild elephant incursions in Munnar forest division have disrupted the life of residents in the area.

Nipah outbreak: TN instructs officials to hold surveillance in districts bordering Kerala
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has directed health officials to strengthen surveillance in districts bordering Kerala, after the Nipah-virus was detected in the neighbouring state. In an advisory, the Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine instructed the department officials to screen all symptomatic cases of Nipah, using protective equipment to prevent the spread of the infection to those administering the test. The department has instructed the Deputy Director of Health Services to strengthen the surveillance on Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (fever with altered sensorium) in the bordering districts of Kerala. A boy in Kerala who had those symptoms passed away, and his sample tested positive for Nipah. Those cases admitted from the bordering districts of Kerala, especially Kozhikode and Malappuram, should be followed up, the advisory said. 14-year-old infected with Nipah virus in Kerala dies, Centre to assist in tackling outbreak Government and private hospitals should be alerted about the Nipah virus outbreak and health teams should be deployed at border check-posts round-the-clock to screen all symptomatic cases especially in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Theni, Tenkasi and Kanniyakumari, the advisory said. Stating that the Human Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging zoonotic disease, the advisory said it was first recognised in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998. Again in 2001 and 2007 two outbreaks were reported in India. In 2018, a major outbreak was reported in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts of Kerala with 18 confirmed cases and 17 persons dead. The outbreaks occurred during the months of winter to spring (December-May) and transmission of the Nipah virus to humans may occur after direct contact with infected bats, infected pigs or from other Nipah virus infected people. Fruit bats are the usual reservoir of the virus, and humans can become infected by accidentally consuming bat-contaminated fruits, it added. Fever, altered mental status and severe weakness were some of the symptoms, and in general, the case fatality rate is estimated at 40-75 per cent. Currently there is no known treatment or vaccine available for either people or animals and intensive supportive care with treatment of symptoms is the main approach to managing the infection in people, the advisory said. Earlier in the day, in a statement, the Union Health ministry said a 14-year-old boy from Kozhikode exhibited the acute encephalitis syndrome and was admitted to a healthcare facility in Perinthalmanna before being transferred to a higher health centre in the district. He succumbed to the disease and samples were sent to the Pune-based National Institute of Virology, which confirmed Nipah virus infection.

Global outage forces cancellation of over 55 flights to and from Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Friday turned out to be a miserable day for flyers in Bengaluru as a total of 28 departing flights from the Kempegowda International Airport and 25 incoming flights were cancelled abruptly due to a global Microsoft system outage. At least 77 flights suffered considerable delays. Most of the cancelled flights were operated by Indigo. With airlines failing to alert flyers about the cancellation, hundreds suffered as they reached the airport by taxi and then had to return home, thus spending both ways. With the check-in of flyers done manually and a paper boarding pass issued inside the terminal, queues moved very slowly in both Terminal 1 & 2 of the airport. Flights had to be cancelled due to the huge pile-up of flyers queuing up for checks, said an airport source. Both incoming and outgoing flights were delayed for an average of 45-50 minutes. Among those whose flight was cancelled was Vibhor V, a consultant in Analytics. With the web check-in completed and boarding pass too on hand, he travelled from Bannerghatta to board his Mumbai flight (6E 5376, which had a departure time of 7.15 pm from T1. He told The New Indian Express , I reached by 4.15 pm and got a shock when the CISF staff did not permit me to enter the terminal. They tried to scan my boarding pass and it could not be done. They said my flight is cancelled as per their records. They asked me to visit the Indigo counter for refund or rescheduling of the flight. When he reached that counter, he saw hundreds waiting for the refund. Indigo said they could not give me the refund immediately as the systems were not working. Nor could they reschedule to the following day as they did not know the flying status of the next day flights, Vibhor added. He paid Rs 1,000 as taxi fare to reach the airport and is paying a similar sum to get back home. Microsoft outage: What services are affected in India? Aditya Tulsyan posted on X that his parents waiting at the airport were panicking after their flight got cancelled and no one was helping them. Those who tried booking tickets for future travel too suffered with the fare accepted but ticket not issued. Karthik Ramanath, was booking a round trip ticket from Bengaluru to Mumbai around noon. I booked my onward ticket from Bengaluru to Mumbai on July 31. It got booked. When I tried booking the return ticket, it said server is down and I could not do so. However, the fare has been deducted. I got a mail later saying my fare will be reimbursed within five days, he said.
