00:00What we're now learning from Tamil Nadu itself, it is Chief Minister Vijay's Taimaman gold ring claimant attacks.
00:07Tamil Nadu says in Tamil Nadu what we're given to understand is it's a shocking attack on hospital staff in
00:13Tanjavur.
00:14Nurse and two others have been attacked with a spade.
00:18Nurse attacked over a gold ring demand.
00:21Man attacks nurse with two others over this gold ring.
00:25Gold ring dispute turns violent in Kumbakonam and a nurse has been attacked after denying immediate gold ring.
00:32Three have been in fact injured in the spade attack altercation over the gold ring.
00:37Attacked nurse and two others have also been admitted to the government hospital for treatment with serious injuries having been
00:42suffered.
00:43Cops probed the spade attack on the nurse.
00:45Man attacked nurse in intoxicated state.
00:48This is coming in from Tanjavur as we speak.
00:50Pramod continues to be with us.
00:52Pramod, this is a bit concerning when we speak of incidents of this kind.
00:58Well, this is a very different incident with a different story in the heart of it.
01:04But correct me if I'm wrong, just a few days ago there was another incident of medical staff being attacked
01:10in a different hospital.
01:11That was also over something else.
01:14But such instances of medical staff being attacked by people really put some question to the law and order in
01:21the state.
01:22Absolutely, Shia.
01:23The important aspect here is that these are health staffs from the primary health clinic and one particular program near
01:28the location called Skumbakonam in Chinnacheland which is next to Tanjavur.
01:32And the important aspect here is that the actual fight was over Thai Maman Kangam Modiram Tittan.
01:38That was the ambitious scheme that was recently launched by the chief minister where any child which is born in
01:44the government hospital with the parents being permanent residents of the state of Tamil Nadu, the child gets one gram
01:49gold coin.
01:49However, even though the eligible child children are from 22nd June, this particular person, their delivery was on 16th of
01:57September.
01:58And when he has approached the nurse, the nurse has said that every day 10 people are being alerted and
02:02as per the list only it is being given.
02:04This the couple did not accept and apparently the husband over there brought in a spade and started attacking the
02:09nurse.
02:10Even the nurse just like you mentioned very clearly says that like this cannot be taken off as a one
02:13instance or something and the health officials should be given adequate protection, Shia.
02:20Absolutely, Pramod.
02:21Thank you for putting that into further context for our viewers.
02:24And on that note, those are the details we have for you at the moment.
02:28We will keep a track of the story as the probe continues.
