Fifteen persons — 11 as outpatients and four as in-patients — were treated at the Department of Plastic, Burns and Reconstructive Surgery of Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for burns sustained during Deepavali celebrations on Thursday.
According to details provided by the hospital authorities, five of the injured were children. Last year, nine persons were treated for burns as outpatients and two as in-patients.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
