TRICHY: Parents of 12 newborns received a surprise gift in the form of a gold ring on Monday as a gesture by AIADMK party workers on chief minister J Jayalalithaa's birthday. These babies were born at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) in the last two days.

The fortnight-long celebrations of chief minister's birthday reached its peak on Monday as AIADMK functionaries organised various programmes to celebrate their party chief's birthday.

The 1g gold ring was donated by AIADMK workers led by Trichy West MLA M Paranjothi. Only five of the 12 infants were born on Monday that coincided with Amma's birthday. Though, the other seven were born a day early, they too were considered for the gift as the party workers wanted to donate 12 rings, hospital sources said.

The parents of the newborns were taken aback when they came to know that they will be given gold rings. "My second male child has brought me luck. We didn't expect such a gift. My child is so lucky. Though he was born on February 23, he was gifted the gold ring. We will keep the ring safely throughout our life. I will tell my child about the gold gift during his coming birthdays," said 25-year-old Ramya, a resident of Trichy. "Earlier, I was told by the doctors that the baby will be born on Sunday night. But my baby was born on Monday. We will cherish the gift," said one Raja whose wife Sumathi, 21, delivered a male baby early on Monday morning. -Dr M A Aleem Vice Principal MGMGH KAPVGMC
