‘Bangaru Hyderabad’ attracts snatchers
Donnerstag, 15. Oktober 2015
 The Irani gang busted by the Cyberabad police earlier used to target women in Bihar and UP Hyderabad: Gangs of chain snatchers from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, UP and Maharashtra target women in Hyderabad because they wear more gold, and of better quality. Gang members who have been busted admit that in North India, they have often ended up snatching fake gold ornaments. They thus consider Hyderabad as one of the best cities to operate in. After a couple of days here, they usually strike Bengaluru or Chennai before returning to their bases. The Irani gang busted by the Cyberabad police earlier used to target women in Bihar and UP. But it was not worth their while. “The snatchers told us that if they targeted a woman in UP or Bihar, they might get a maximum of 5 gm gold. Also, very few women wear gold ornaments outside, so locating them was also difficult for them,” said LB Nagar ACP P. Venugopal Rao. “Snatchers say that they can loot minimum of 30 to 50 gm of gold from just one victim (in Hyderabad). They thus can get a sizeable amount of gold and that too by targeting a few victims,” added the ACP. In recent cases of snatching, some women had lost 70 to 100 gm gold chains. “In the city, the minimum weight of a mangalsutra is 30 gram, which is why snatchers consider Hyderabad as their top target,” said another senior police official. Irrespective of occasions, women here wear a lot of gold when they go out. “In two recent incidents, two women were targeted at KBR Park and Begumpet in the morning. Both women were out for morning walks, but they were wearing more than 40 gm of gold chains,” said a top cop. In the KBR park incident, locals had managed to catch the accused. According to police the “Irani gang” move between Bidar, Gulbarga, Parli (Karnataka), Katol, Loni, Amboli, Ghatkopar, Kalyan (Maharashtra), Hoshangabad, Pipariya, Bhopal (MP) and other places in avoid the cops after committing offences. Three held for snatching The Cyberabad police busted an interstate chain-snatching gang on Wednesday by arresting three youngsters who had robbed women recently in the city. The police recovered 975 grams of gold from the gang after tracking them down in their own states. Members of the Irani gang hail from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra. The arrested people are Fatheh Akram Ali, 23, from Nagpur, Hyder Akram Ali, 20, from Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh and Javed Ali, 35, from Muzaffarpur in Bihar. Two more suspects are absconding. Police officials said the gangsters are relatives and belonged to a place in Maharashtra, but lived in different parts of India now. Apart from gold the police recovered two bikes from the suspects. Officials said the total value of stolen goods is Rs 27 lakh

Genetic diseases wreak havoc in Khammam
Donnerstag, 15. Oktober 2015
 Representational image Khammam: Seventy-nine students are suffering from sickle cell anaemia and eight are suffering from thalassemia in Bhadrachalam. As part of a pilot project carried out by medical experts, 4,900 students from 27 educational institutions in the limits of Bhadrachalam ITDA were tested. There are 92 high schools, seven colleges and 13 residential schools in ITDA in Bhadrachalam limits where 34,606 students are studying. Blood samples of the students have been sent for testing in Khammam and also Hyderabad laboratories. Mr Ratnavali Kotapalli, founder of Thalassemia Society in Hyderabad said, “Studies which have shown that those who suffer from sickle cell anemia are malaria resistant. This is because their genes develop resistance towards the disease. There is no absolute conclusion on the same but it is one of the factors.” Similarly, the increase in number of cases could be because of marriages within the same family. Dr H. Kishan, a senior general physician said, “Marriages in these belts are within the same family which could be one of the reasons for both these diseases. The disease is genetic in nature and is inherited. Thalassemia is a form of autosomal recessive blood disorder due to which the red cells get destroyed. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia where the red blood cells are not healthy and they can’t carry adequate oxygen throughout the body.” There are a total of 2000 children registered with the Thalassemia Society in Hyderabad for blood transfusions, which are frequently required for these patients. The society provides care, education and other support to the family members to deal with the disease. The current figures in the tribal area are just the tip of the iceberg as doctors state that results of all the samples of 28,500 students will give a clear picture of the exact prevalence in the region

A doctor who loves to dance and act
Dienstag, 13. Oktober 2015
In a very casual talk, Asha Sarath, a family friend of hers, asked Swathy Narayanan if she was interested in acting, to which she responded: ‘If it’s a good role with a good team, yes.’ However, never in her wildest dreams did Swathy expect to land in a lead role in a Ranjith Shankar film. “Even though I’m settled in Thrissur now, I was born and brought up in Perumbavoor. I had been learning dance from a very young age and so I knew Asha chechi and her family well. Since Asha chechi had worked with Ranjith sir in Varsham, he asked her if she knew any new faces he can cast for Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam”. “She told me to forward my photographs if I’m interested and I ended up getting selected to play the part. There are two heroines in Su Su Sudhi... — Me and Sshivada. My character, Sheila, was born and brought up in Mumbai. But when her mother passes away, her father takes her back to her hometown to look for marriage proposals. This is where she meets Jayettan’s character. Though my character is a Mumbai product, she is someone who appreciates all traditional things,” explains Swathy. Though this is Swathy’s debut in a lead role, she has earlier appeared on screen as a child artiste in Vasanthiyum Lakshmiyum Pinne Njanum. “I had a very small role in that movie. I portrayed the childhood of Kaveri in a song sequence. Apart from that, I had acted in some ad shoots from the time I was in my pre-school to Class III. After that, my focus was on Kuchipudi. I learned Kuchipudi under Anupama Mohan at Kochi for 16 years and I am pursuing my diploma degree in Kuchipudi now. I’m also training under Chintha Ravi Balakrishna at Kuchipudi Village in Vijayawada. For me, dance is my passion and I hope to get a doctorate in Kuchipudi someday,” explains the actress. Though it might take the newbie some time to get her doctorate in dance, she already owns the title of doctor. “I am an Ayurveda doctor and I finished my studies this year. I have been training at a hospital near my home for some time now, after completing my internship. Since my primary focus is on dance, I don’t think I will be able to work in a hospital setting as I would have to attend many programmes regularly. I also want to do more films if I get good offers. So, I’m planning to start independent practice once I gain a little experience as a trainee and then balance my acting, dancing and medicine careers, all together!
