Bala Singh’s different characters in movies.

Chennai: Veteran film and TV actor Bala Singh passed away early on Wednesday morning. Bala Singh was admitted to a private city hospital for food poisoning and was undergoing treatment for the last few days. He was 67.

A graduate from National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi, he began his career as a theatre artiste. He later entered the world of films through 1983 Malayalam film Malamukalile Deivam.

Though he appeared in brief roles in a few Tamil films, his major breakthrough came with the debut directorial venture of his childhood friend and ace actor Nasser titled Avatharam (1985). While Nasser essayed the lead, Bala Singh's performance as an antagonist was noticed.

Since then there was no looking back. He has acted in hundreds of Tamil films mostly as a villain or in supporting roles along with top heroes.

His notable works include Virumaandi, Pudhupettai, Saamy, Simmarasai, Dheena, Kannathil muthamittal and Indian among many other flicks. Singh was also said to be a part of Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2, releasing in 2020.

The powerhouse performer was last seen in Arya's Magamuni in which he played a politician. Bala was also part of recent films in prominent roles like Karthik Subbaraj's Jigarthanda, Suriya- Selvaraghavan's NGK, Sarvam Thaala Mayam, Saamy Square and Thaana Serndha Koottam.

His popular TV mega soaps include Soolam, Nalla Neram, Rudhraveena and Aathira.

His mortal remains were kept at his house in Virugambakkam on Wednesday for his family and friends to pay their last respects. Family sources said that he would be cremated in his native place Nagercoil on Thursday.

South Indian Artistes Association said that Bala Singh’s demise is a great loss to the Tamil cinema industry.

COIMBATORE: Graduates from different streams including BSc, MSc, BE and MCom were among several hundred candidates at a job interview for the post of sanitary workers organised by the city corporation on Wednesday.

While some candidates are already working in private firms, they said they wanted to try their hand at the corporation's job interview to get placed in a permanent job.

Though many are unaware of the basic pay provided for sanitary workers, a few said they were ready to take up the role of sanitary workers if they were selected.

Apart from the graduates, there were homemakers, construction workers, and even contract workers of the city corporation.

"There is little shame in working as a sanitary worker as everything is a profession," said S Vignesh, a BE Mechanical graduate from Variety Hall Road.

He said he attended the job interview as he wanted to support his family comprising his mother and younger brother.

A Poovizhi Meena, a BCom graduate, was accompanied by her husband S Rahul, who is an MCom graduate. The couple said they could work as sanitary workers if they were selected in the interview.

A number of job applicants were contract sanitary workers with an overall work experience of nine to 15 years. P Eswari, working as a contract sanitary worker for over 15 years, said she wanted to apply for the permanent post since the corporation is organising a job interview after several years.

According to corporation sources, nearly 7,000 candidates have applied for 549 grade-I sanitary worker posts. The candidates must know to read and write Tamil and must have completed at least class X. The monthly pay for the sanitary workers ranges from Rs 15,700 to Rs 50,000.

Three years after Demonetisation, 70-plus sisters learn all their savings are worthless

TIRUPUR: Two elderly sisters from this textiles hub who had saved money over a period of 15-20 years were shocked to learn that all of it had been demonetised more than three years ago.

Rangammal (75) and Thangammal (78) had secretly stored the money in an old aluminium box and in rice bags to cover their medical expenses and funeral rites as well as for their 17 grandchildren.

Selvaraj, the son of Rangammal, told TNIE that his mother and his aunt had "lost their husbands, who were daily wagers, 10 years ago."

Strong and confident women, the duo used to shepherd goats for traders and earned Rs 100-150 as daily wages. Though they squirrelled away some of this money, they did not let anyone else know since they were worried that their sons will squander these savings on drinks.

But when Rangammal and Thangammal both fell ill recently, the bitter truth was revealed.

"When we decided to take them to the hospital, we were short of money. But they told us not to worry and brought their savings before us. We were shocked to find them in old currency notes," Selvaraj said.

Selvaraj revealed what they had to say. "My mother had around Rs 24,000 and Thangammal had around Rs 22,000. During demonetisation, we asked whether they had any money. They said they had nothing. When we questioned them again now, they began to cry, saying they felt their sons and daughters were trying to cheat them of their savings. This led to them lying to us," he said.

Madras High Court upholds dismissal of ‘108’ ambulance driver

THE Madras High Court has upheld orders of the management of ‘108’ ambulance service organisation dismissing a driver from service for misconduct.

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has upheld orders of the management of ‘108’ ambulance service organisation dismissing a driver from service for misconduct.

The charges against the delinquent employee are grave in nature and the level of discipline to be maintained in ambulance service, compared to other organisations is entirely different. The discipline, undoubtedly, must be high in nature. Therefore, the gravity of the charges are to be decided in comparison with the service to be provided with reference to the nature of the service and its importance, Justice SM Subramanian observed.

The charge against R Saravanan was that he had swindled a portion of money kept by the attendant of an accident victim at Kulithalai in April 2014. By an order, the State Head of Operations, GVK Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI) at Teynampet dismissed him after following the formalities.
However, the Assistant Commissioner of Labour at Teynampet, by an order dated November 16, 2017, refused approval of the dismissal of the driver. Hence, the present petition.

Allowing it, the judge observed that ambulance service is sensitive. Timely service to the needy is the prime object of the scheme. Thus, any indiscipline or lapses are to be construed grave in nature.
Thus, the Labour Commissioner had erroneously arrived at the conclusion, the judge said and set it aside.
