Tambaram Corporation to open sixth evening clinic near Chitlapakkam
CHENNAI: The Tambaram City Municipal Corporation (TCMC) is set to open its sixth evening speciality clinic at Haridosspuram near Chitlapakkam. The clinic, functioning from 4 pm to 8 pm on all days except Sundays, is part of a state government initiative to provide extended medical services to those unable to access government facilities during regular hours. Haridosspuram was identified based on local demand for after-hours healthcare, civic officials said. A senior staff said, 'Specialist doctors, nurses, and support staff will be deployed to ensure quality treatment. The clinic will serve residents referred by nearby Urban Primary Health Centres.' As per the weekly schedule, the clinic will have a general physician on Mondays, obstetrics and gynaecology on Tuesdays, paediatrics on Wednesdays, ophthalmology and physiotherapy on Thursdays, dermatology and dental care on Fridays, and psychiatry on Saturdays. TCMC has established five such evening clinics in Poondi Bazaar, Renganathapuram, Pammal, Peerkaranai, and Sembakkam, all of which have received positive feedback, especially from senior citizens, daily wage workers, and the urban poor, said officials. Tambaram currently has a network of 40 urban health facilities-13 UPHCs and 18 Urban Health and Wellness Centres. Of these, 18 UHWCs function as polyclinics, offering morning and evening services.

Researcher explores Gulf history through primary sources
KUWAIT: Independent researcher and PhD holder in modern history Dr Mohammad Al-Kharashan delivers a thought-provoking lecture on Monday titled 'Primary Sources in the Modern History of Kuwait and the Gulf,' at the Kuwait National Library. – KUNA photos KUWAIT: Independent researcher and PhD holder in modern history Dr Mohammad Al-Kharashan delivered a thought-provoking lecture on Monday titled 'Primary Sources in the Modern History of Kuwait and the Gulf,' at the Kuwait National Library. The event was held as part of the 17th Cultural Summer Festival, organized by the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL). Moderated by history researcher Nader Al-Wathir, the lecture shed light on the concept and significance of primary sources — often overlooked in traditional academic frameworks — as foundational tools for deepening understanding of Kuwait and the wider Gulf region's historical narratives. Dr Al-Kharashan posed three central questions guiding his exploration: How can primary sources be identified and located? What methods are best suited for analyzing and referencing their components? And can such sources be integrated into the historical records of later eras, particularly the modern period? Using a combination of documentary examples and archival materials, Al-Kharashan employed a critical and dialectical methodology that balanced deductive and inductive reasoning. He also engaged with past academic legacies, proposing a classification system for researchers based on their approaches to primary source material. Among his key conclusions was a call for the reclassification of historical references to prioritize primary sources as essential scholarly resources. He also emphasized the importance of reviving previously overlooked documents and urged deeper exploration of source material rooted in authentic historical records. The 17th edition of the Cultural Summer Festival kicked off last Wednesday and runs for seven weeks, featuring a wide spectrum of cultural and artistic events aimed at enriching public knowledge and engagement across all age groups. — KUNA

Doc suspended for refusing anti-rabies shot to wife of Padma Shri awardee in Mandu
Mhow: Mandu Primary Health Centre in charge was suspended from service for negligence and refusing to administer anti-rabies vaccine to the wife of Subroto Das , a Padma Shri awardee, over the weekend, an official said on Monday. The incident occurred in tourist town Mandu, around 38km from Dhar district headquarters, on Saturday when Das, a resident of Vadodara, was on a visit to Mandu with his wife Sushmita Das (60). His wife was bitten on her leg by a stray dog. The couple reached Mandu Primary Health Centre for anti-rabies shot. But the centre in charge Dr Chandni Dabrolia refused to administer the vaccine citing unavailability. The doctor asked them to go to a far-off health centre in Nalcha. After intervention of others, the injection was eventually administered to Sushmita at the Mandu health centre. This incident soon went viral on social media. Taking cognizance of it, Dhar collector Priyank Mishra ordered an inquiry by a team from Indore. Based on the preliminary findings, Dr Dabrolia was found guilty and suspended by the health department. Mishra said the doctor's behaviour was inappropriate and her actions unacceptable, leading to her suspension based on the initial probe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In a press release issued by deputy chief minister Rajendra Shukla, it was stated that the state govt is fully committed to providing quality, and accessible health services to the general public.

Israeli Occupation destroys 'Badu al-Kaabneh' School, displaces Arab al-Mlihāt Community
Ariha – SABA: Israeli occupation forces stormed and destroyed the 'Badu al-Kaabneh' Coeducational Primary School east of Ariha today, Friday, and forcibly displaced the residents of the neighboring Arab al-Mlihāt community — an act the Palestinian Ministry of Education condemned as a crime against the right to education and dignified living. In an official statement, the ministry stressed that this violation goes beyond the demolition of a school building, describing it as a systematic attempt to undermine the future of students in marginalized and threatened areas. It noted that the Israeli authorities aim to impose a forced reality by emptying the land of its native inhabitants and depriving children of a safe educational environment. The Ministry added that the incident represents a blatant breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international agreements that guarantee the right to education. It further emphasized that the continued Israeli violations require urgent international action, calling on all human rights and humanitarian organizations — foremost among them the United Nations — to exert pressure on Israeli authorities to cease these abuses, reopen the school, and guarantee the children's right to return to their classrooms without fear.

Stalin inaugurates Katpadi's first UPHC
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Thursday virtually inaugurated three Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHCS) in Vellore and Ranipet districts, including the first such facility in Katpadi, ending a long-standing demand of residents. Health officials said a UPHC serves a population of 50,000 and at present, 13 centres have been functioning within the Vellore Corporation limits. 'The UPHC in Katpadi will focus on all government health programmes, including vaccination and general health check-up,' R. Lakshmanan, Commissioner, Vellore Corporation, told The Hindu. Built at a cost of ₹1.2 crore each, the UPHCs at Katpadi and Otteri in Vellore feature better facilities such as separate cabins for a duty doctor, four nurses, and other staff; a common visitors' hall; separate wards for specialised treatment; laboratory facilities; and well-furnished pharmacy with additional stocks. They will function between 8 a.m and 3 p.m on all days except Sundays. They have operation theatres and six beds for in-patients. Adequate parking space for ambulances and other vehicles are also provided. 'Now, women and senior citizens can easily gain access to better healthcare facilities. Earlier, we had to travel to the health centre in Old Town (Vellore), around 8 km from here,' said C. Pavitra, a resident. In Ranipet, which has 36 PHCs, the UPHC was opened at Kavanur village near Arcot town. Earlier, residents had to travel at least 8-10 km to reach Thimiri, the nearest town that has a health centre. Land for the new centre was donated by residents. On an average, each PHC should span two acres, whereas an upgraded health centre should cover five acres to provide more facilities such as staff quarters, additional buildings, and parking facilities. Five Urban Health and Wellness Centres, each built at ₹25 lakh, were also opened within the Vellore Corporation limits. The centre will have a doctor, a nurse, and a sanitation inspector. Each centre will function between 8 a.m. and noon, and 4 p.m.-8 p.m. on all days.
