Madhukar Mucharla’s Durga portrait is straight from the heart. Currently on his residency at Chippa Sudhakar’s studio, the artist is inspired by the story of a migrant worker from Parigi in Vikarabad district of Telangana. “Reverse migration among workers is a sad reality,” he says.
Having used leather to highlight the loss of occupation among the migrant labour force, Madhukar elaborates “Making leather products is a source of livelihood for the Madiga community. The intricately stitched artwork is a symbolic representation of the work and place of origin.”

The procedure of endoscopic removal of stone and blockage from the bile duct, followed by placement of Common Bile Duct (CBD) stent, widely practised in leading medical institutions and private hospitals, was performed for the first time at Government Thoothukudi Medical College and Hospital on a 10-year-old girl.
