A day-long head and neck oncology conference, HANOCON 2023, was held in Chennai on Saturday. Director of Gleneagles Global Cancer Centre and organising committee chairman S. Rajasundaram said a series of lectures had been planned and there were case-based panel discussions and eminent faculties gave video demonstrations. The focus was on head and neck cancer diagnosis, staging and pre-operative and post-operative care. Chief Executive Officer of Gleneagles Global Health City Alok Khullar said eminent doctors had agreed to participate, to ensure the sessions were interesting. Apart from presentations by the hospital’s specialists, oncologists from government medical colleges and several from other private medical college hospitals also took part.

The municipal bus stand auditorium in Malappuram was packed. But nobody quite knew what to expect. After all, a new event was making its debut at the State School Arts Festival. The moment V.G. Harikrishnan started his rendition of Pyar bhare do sharmile nain..., everyone was convinced that Ghazal was here to stay. The student from GVHSS, Atholi (Kozhikode), was applauded loudly for his rendering of the timeless ghazal sung originally by Mehdi Hassan.

For the last few weeks, several wards in Madurai city have been getting piped drinking water through a new drinking water scheme. The sweetness of the generously supplied water has led to loss of business to several suppliers of canned drinking water in the city. But, not many know that the water supplied to the houses in Madurai is directly drawn from Lower Dam of Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district of Kerala.
