Two persons, including a school student, were killed and another was critically injured when the car they were travelling in rammed a stationary mini lorry in Redhills on Monday.
Among the victims was K. Kanishka, 15, a Class XI student at a school in Panchetti, hailing from Karikalan Nagar in Padiyanallur. Her sister Aswitha, 13, is a Class VIII student in the same school. On Monday morning, their uncle Nagarajan, 40, was taking them to school in a car when the vehicle rammed the mini lorry on Karanodai bridge. In the impact, the car was damaged and Kanishka and Nagarajan died on the spot. Aswitha, who was battling for life, was rescued by passers-by and rushed to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
