BJP Chief Nadda says 95% of work completed and AIIMS Madurai will be dedicated by the PM soon.
Fact: Construction of AIIMS at Madurai yet to begin. PM Modi had laid the foundation stone in 2019.
Once again a large population from the south of India does not understand what the PM speaks on national TV amid this crisis? Is it too difficult for the Govt to flash exact translation of a prepared speech in real time in English and regional languages on various DD channels ?
A Tamil Nadu medico who managed to drive from Ukraine's Kharkiv to Russia is staying put there so he could guide many others to safety. His parents want him to get back home, but he wouldn't. He doesn't want his name or picture to be shared either. Hats off.
Mahathma Gandhi's last Personal Secretary V Kalyanam dies in Chennai.
He was 99. In this recent video he talks about assassination of Gandhi by Godse. He was so close at the site.

A vast non Hindi speaking population in southern India couldn't understand PM's address to the nation. As we celebrate 75 years of Indian Independence it's important the Govt puts to use a simple tech that would live stream the transcript of PM's speech in regional languages.
Yet again, many non Hindi speakers like me couldn't understand the Prime Minister's speech during a national crisis. Its a prepared speech. Can't the Govt give real time translation in english & other languages so all can understand? Here is where digital India matters most ?
Tamil Nadu newspapers betrayed readers' trust and wasted their time this morning ?
By carrying news like political advertisements without any disclaimer or disclosure ?
At Chennai airport BJP cadre recieve students returning from Ukraine, usher them to waiting cameras after briefing them & their waiting patients on what exactly they should tell.
Tamilnadu Govt scales up relief to Kerala. Sends 500 metric tonnes of rice, 300 metric tonnes of milk powder to Kerala, 10000 bed sheets, Lungis and dhotis, 15000 litres of processed milk. TN contributes another 5 crore
Team of doctors and veterinarians to leave for kerala
If you are in Tamil Nadu dial 108 for an ambulance and take covid patients to a Govt hospital if its an emergency. Don't waste time scouting for a bed in private hospitals.

Is it so difficult for the government to share translation of the Prime Minister's speech real time in regional languages and English so people in the south too can understand him in letter and spirit at this hour of yet another national crisis?
In a multilingual country like India, at times of crisis its important to translate PM's address in all languages in real time either as ticker on regional DDs or mobile helplines for real time translation.Lest its Greek & Latin for a huge population. Little sensitivity please.
