In a petition submitted to the CM, residents described the harsh realities of life without a home. They said women were forced to bathe behind makeshift screens in the open, children studied under streetlights, and parents took turns staying awake through the night to protect their families.

“Five generations of our families have lived on these streets. Repeated appeals over the past 15 years for houses under the TN Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) have gone unanswered,” they said. “We had earlier petitioned Mayor Priya Rajan, former HR&CE Minister PK Sekarbabu, Egmore MLA Paranthaman, MP Dayanidhi Maran and, most recently, GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran.”

With no progress, they decided to seek the CM’s direct intervention. “For many, living inside four walls is a basic necessity, but for us, it’s a luxury,” said K Jennifer, a Class 7 student. “I study under the streetlights every night and complete my homework at school to avoid being reprimanded by teachers.”

Also, lack of basic amenities is as pressing as the absence of housing. All 69 families depend on a single hand-pump for washing and a nearby public toilet. When it rains, they move temporarily to bus stands and railway stations to escape flooding.

B Sujitha, a newly married resident, said women face constant threats to their privacy and safety. “The lack of bathrooms forces us to bathe behind a temporary screen. Because our living area is surrounded by tall lodges, people watch us from above. We only start cooking dinner after 10 pm once nearby shops close. We go to sleep around 1 am while our mothers stay awake to guard us,” she elaborated.

S Sakthivel, a long-time resident, pointed out that the neighbourhood had transformed over the decades with new commercial lodges and restaurants in and around the area, but people continued to live on the pavement. “My father worked in a local leather company; we initially lived on Raja Muthiah Salai before moving near a school and later settling here. We do not want our children to live the way we did. Due to homelessness, many children drop out of school. Most of us are daily wage workers earning barely Rs 400 a day,” he lamented.

A delegation led by N Manju met School Education Minister and Egmore MLA Raj Mohan at the Secretariat and handed over the petition. According to residents, the Minister immediately contacted the department officials and urged them to expedite the matter.

Responding to the issue, a senior TNUHDB official said, “The GCC forwarded a verified list of 58 homeless families from the locality, of which 50 have been found eligible for housing. However, the allotments are awaiting a decision on who will bear the mandatory beneficiary contribution – whether it will be funded by the GCC or paid by the beneficiaries. The allotment orders will be issued as soon as the financial arrangement is finalised.”

Residents also complained that, as site is located close to Perambur Railway Station, some people use the area for public urination, creating a nuisance.

According to members of the Perambur Neighbourhood Development Forum (PNDF), the tables and chairs provided for customers during the day are misused by anti-social elements after the parlour closes. They said the absence of proper fencing allows easy access, turning what was intended to be a community facility into a public nuisance during the night.

Speaking to Raghukumar Choodamani, convener of the PNDF, said the area beneath the Perambur Murasoli Maran Flyover was fenced in 2022 after residents raised concerns over the accumulation of garbage. The reclaimed space was subsequently developed by establishing an Aavin milk parlour.

“Residents and regular visitors to the nearby park have urged the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) to protect the premises. After 8.30 pm, once the Aavin parlour closes, people gather there to consume liquor. To prevent this, residents are demanding that the open frontage along the roadside be fenced,” he said.

Another resident, V Srinivasan Raghavan, said CCTV cameras should be installed immediately to ensure round-theclock surveillance and deter anti-social activities. Raghukumar also called for removal of construction debris and abandoned vending carts, besides improving lighting in the area. While welcoming the transformation of space beneath flyover, he said consistent security measures were essential.

A GCC official said a decision on fencing and installing CCTV cameras beneath the flyover would be taken after consultations with senior officials.

A press note from CMWSSB said that the crackdown, led by senior area engineers, led to the seizure of 5 electric motors connected to domestic lines to siphon off public water. CMWSSB has initiated strict enforcement actions, including disconnecting their water services, issuing legal notices, and levying heavy penalties under the CMWSSB Act of 1978.

The board reminded the public that fixing electric motors directly to water pipelines is strictly prohibited. Citizens are strongly urged to refrain from such unlawful activities, as monitoring will intensify across the city to protect the public supply.

Registrations for the online programme will remain open until August 6, while classes are scheduled to begin on August 7. The course is open to school and college students, educators, researchers, parents, working professionals and lifelong learners.

Designed and conducted by mathematics educator and Aryabhatta Institute of Mathematical Sciences Founder-Director Sadagopan Rajesh, the programme seeks to encourage participants to approach mathematical concepts through logical reasoning and multiple methods of problem-solving rather than relying on conventional techniques.

Emphasising the importance of innovative thinking, IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti said mathematics plays a crucial role in addressing real-world challenges through fresh perspectives. “Out-of-the-box thinking develops critical thinking by encouraging learners to question assumptions, explore alternatives and evaluate solutions from different perspectives. Many technological and scientific breakthroughs are rooted in innovative mathematical thinking. Empowering young minds to think differently is essential for the country’s development and prosperity,” he said.

The programme comprises four progressive levels, each spanning 10 weeks with periodic assignments and guided solutions. Learners can also opt to appear for a proctored examination at designated centres on payment of a nominal fee. Successful candidates will receive a graded certificate issued by IITM Pravartak.

Rajesh said the initiative aims to make quality mathematical learning accessible to every learner while nurturing confidence, logical reasoning and creativity through concept-based learning.

To widen its reach, IITM Pravartak has also called upon schools across the country to nominate teachers as institutional coordinators to facilitate student participation and strengthen engagement with the programme.

A total of 20 international flights — comprising 10 arrivals and 10 departures — were delayed by 30 minutes to three hours, affecting services to and from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Muscat, London and Singapore.

Gulf airspace closures affect flight schedules

Airport sources said airlines operating through West Asian air corridors were forced to revise their schedules as airspace over Bahrain and Kuwait was being intermittently closed due to the prevailing security situation.

The restrictions affected not only flights originating from Gulf destinations such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait and Sharjah but also international services from other countries that pass through the affected airspace before reaching Chennai. As a result, several inbound flights from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Muscat, London and Singapore arrived behind schedule, leading to corresponding delays in outbound services from Chennai.

Colombo flights cancelled

Apart from the delays, two SriLankan Airlines flights operating on the Colombo-Chennai and Chennai-Colombo routes were cancelled. The affected services included the flight scheduled to arrive in Chennai from Colombo at 3 pm and the return flight scheduled to depart for Colombo at 4 pm. Passengers booked on these flights were advised to contact the airline regarding rescheduling and further travel arrangements.

Passengers complain of lack of information

The delays and cancellations caused considerable inconvenience to passengers waiting at Chennai Airport. Passengers alleged that they did not receive timely information regarding the disruptions and claimed there were no proper announcements inside the terminal regarding revised departure or arrival timings.

Under normal circumstances, airlines inform passengers in advance about flight delays or cancellations, while Chennai Airport authorities also issue updates through their official social media channels. Travellers usually rely on these updates before contacting their respective airlines to reschedule their journeys. However, passengers said no such updates were available for several of the affected services, leaving many waiting at the airport for hours without clarity on their flight status. Airport authorities are continuing to monitor the situation, while airlines are expected to revise schedules depending on developments in West Asia and the reopening of affected airspace.

Babulal and Chenni Devi (43) resided in Perungudi’s Kurinji Nagar with their children, including son Rakesh (19).

Babulal had left for Rajasthan 15 days ago following a relative’s death. On Sunday night, Chenni Devi and her children were sleeping in the living room. Around 1 am, Rakesh allegedly strangled his mother with a cloth and stabbed her on the neck.

He then alerted his neighbours, who called the ambulance service. Paramedics declared her dead and informed the Thoraipakkam police. The inspector on patrol secured the accused and launched a probe. Chenni Devi’s body was sent for autopsy.

Initial probe indicated that Rakesh has been struggling with mental health issues. He reportedly failed Class 12 examinations and was unemployed, for which he was frequently reprimanded by his parents.

Police are investigating all angles, including the accused’s mental health history and the circumstances that led to the murder.

The complainant was asked to come to a house on New Street in T Nagar around 4 pm. One of the accused led him into a vacant ground-floor house, where two others were waiting. The trio allegedly locked the door, threatened him with a knife, snatched his mobile phone and forced him to transfer Rs 35,000 through GPay to an account before letting him leave.

The victim later informed his brother and lodged a complaint. Accused Sudhakar (19), Sathish (19), and Vigneshwar (27) were arrested, and Rs 21,000 was recovered from them.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Tuesday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

Petrol rates (per litre) in Chennai across last 5 days:

July 20 - Rs 107.77

July 19 - Rs 107.77

July 18 - Rs 107.77

July 16 - Rs 107.77

The incident occurred on Saturday when SI Venkatesan and a constable went to Athipattu to arrest wanted accused Boobalan. Police said Boobalan and his associates assaulted the officers, and Dharshan allegedly hacked the SI with a machete.

Acting on a tip-off, police arrested Dharshan and Osanna near Minjur railway station on Monday. Dharshan sustained a fractured arm while attempting to escape. Both were remanded, while efforts continue to trace Boobalan and other absconding accused.

The incident occurred on July 5, but a case was registered on Sunday based on a complaint filed by the victim, Sriram. Police said Mani (22), allegedly under the influence of alcohol, argued with the DJ after his request was declined.

He later returned with three others, Vellai, Prabu and Sri, all from Thanganur village, and allegedly assaulted Sriram with wooden logs, vandalised the sound system and threatened the DJ team before fleeing. A search is on to trace the accused.

Major allocations include Rs 1 crore each to Greater Chennai Corporation (CSR support) and Pune Vaidyakiya Seva Va Sanshodhan Pratishthan (construction, medical infrastructure, equipment); Rs 82.5 lakh to Madras Medical College for its Regional Centre for Medical Education Technology; Rs 60 lakh to Sri Ramakrishna Math to renovate its century-old dispensary, and Rs 41 lakh to Greater Chennai Traffic Police for two pedestrian crossing signals and three VMS boards.

Other projects include Rs 27.74 lakh for a special school for autistic children (Swabodhini School and Vocational Centre), Rs 25 lakh each for a mobile rehabilitation unit for Amar Seva Sangam in Tenkasi, student facilities at the Royal Madras Yacht Club, and wheelchair table tennis at the Raman TT High Performance Centre, Rs 20 lakh to the Centre of Excellence for Maritime and Shipbuilding for youth training, and Rs 9 lakh to TVS Training - Services to train fishing-community youth as forklift operators and two wheeler technicians, among others.

Further, it gave Rs 20 lakh to PENN Trust for school safety programmes, Rs 10 lakh to the Tamil Nadu Fisheries Department for fishermen's ice boxes, Rs 10.28 lakh to Doordarshan Tamil for the documentary series Kadal Vaasal, and Rs 3.78 lakh to the Lady Willingdon Institute for smart boards.

MoUs with beneficiary organisations were signed on Monday. Speaking at the event, ChPA Chairperson Sachin S Kurve said the projects reflected the Port Authority's commitment to lasting social impact, while Deputy Chairperson S Viswanathan said CSR initiatives should create opportunities and empower communities.

Also, workers are paying out of their own pockets to transport the food back to the school.

Notably, the kitchen was demolished a year ago, yet no official action has been taken to rebuild it. According to workers, the Noon Meal Centre at the school was dilapidated and was demolished in March 2025. Since then, no progress has been made. The workers and members of Dr Ambedkar Makkal Padhukappu Sangam, Noombal, are urging the municipality to take immediate action.

A worker of the centre, lamented, “Since our school in Noombal does not have a kitchen, we’re cooking at a primary school in Puliyambedu village. The situation has worsened as we face a lot of challenges in transporting the food. My monthly salary is Rs 11,000. I pay Rs 80 per trip for an auto ride or take buses to bring the food to the school in Noombal.”

Echoing their concerns was K Tyson, a member of sangam, who pointed out, “Without a kitchen on the premises, lunch is served late to students. Providing food on time is an essential duty of the school headmaster.”

Because Ward 18 councillor N Vigneshwaran failed to resolve the issue, workers escalated the matter to Avadi MLA Ramesh Kumar. “After hearing about it, the councillor rebuked the workers,” added Tyson. “Now, workers are afraid to disclose the issue to others and are just enduring it silently.”

Responding to the issue, Tiruverkadu Municipality Commissioner V Ramar told DT Next, “The noon meal centre has to be constructed by the Social Welfare Department. We’ve passed the proposal. It will soon be tendered out, and work will start in the coming months.”

Vastra Utsav returns for its 15th edition on July 31 and August 1 at Sri Kuchalambal Kalyana Mahal, Chetpet, bringing together artisans, weavers and craft entrepreneurs from across the country.

Organised by DakshinaChitra Museum and Friends of DakshinaChitra (FoD), the annual event celebrates India's rich textile and craft traditions while raising funds for the museum's heritage and educational programmes.

"We have been organising Vastra Utsav every year and it has grown tremendously over time. Today, we can accommodate exhibitors from different parts of the country.

Apart from the exhibition, we organise heritage yatras, quiz programmes for children and present annual awards to talented artisans. The funds raised help support DakshinaChitra's programmes and activities throughout the year,” says Srilakshmi Mohan Rao, President of Friends of DakshinaChitra.

The funds generated through Vastra Utsav contribute towards DakshinaChitra's public outreach, educational initiatives and cultural programming. "The Friends of DakshinaChitra is a volunteer group of people who care deeply about art, culture, heritage and the environment. Every year, they organise Vastra Utsav to support the museum's programmes.

We depend greatly on the group not only for funds but also for their ideas, enthusiasm and support in many of our endeavours,” Maya Thiagarajan, Managing Trustee of DakshinaChitra, tells us.

Visitors can explore a range of handwoven textiles, sustainable fashion, traditional jewellery, handcrafted accessories and artisanal products. The exhibition has, over the years, become a platform for showcasing indigenous crafts and connecting artisans with a wider audience.

The story of Vastra Utsav goes back to 1998, when Friends of DakshinaChitra was formed to support the museum's activities. The exhibition was conceptualised by Kausalya Devi Apparao and has evolved from a small fundraising initiative into a cultural event on Chennai's calendar.

For Shantha, Convenor of Vastra Utsav, supporting artisans has always been at the heart of the exhibition. "We aim to encourage artisans and weavers and give them a platform to showcase their work. Visitors keep coming back because they know they will find something unique and handcrafted while also supporting a good cause," she says.

The FOB is widely used by school students, office-goers, women, senior citizens, and bus passengers. Since the escalators have been out of service, commuters (senior citizens, women, and parents carrying toddlers) are forced to walk up and down the steep escalator steps.

The escalators were damaged during last year’s northeast monsoon after rainwater entered the internal mechanical system due to heavy waterlogging in the area. Since then, they have remained out of service.

The FOB has not been maintained properly either. Garbage and dust have accumulated in several places, while plastic waste and food litter are scattered across the walkway. Residents said the poor sanitation has resulted in foul odour and unhygienic conditions.

Several lights on the FOB also remain non-functional at night, leaving the bridge poorly illuminated. Women and senior citizens said they feel unsafe using the bridge after dark, while many pedestrians attempt to cross the busy road instead, increasing the risk of accidents.

Shanthi, a regular commuter, said, “It’s difficult to walk on the escalator when it’s not functioning. It becomes even harder when carrying bags or other items. Since we use this bridge every day, the escalators should be repaired at the earliest.”

A resident, Muniyandi, noted that school students, women, and elderly people use the FOB every day. “Since the escalators are not working, everyone has to climb on foot. Senior citizens, in particular, struggle to climb the steep steps and have to stop frequently to catch their breath,” he opined.

A senior official of the Highways department said, “A quotation has already been submitted for the replacement works, and the tender process is currently under way. Once the tender is finalised, the required spare parts and equipment will be procured, and replacement works will begin at the earliest.”

The Thoraipakkam police arrested the youth and registered a case of murder.

Babulal and Chenni Devi (43) resided in Perungudi's Kurinji Nagar with their children, including son Rakesh (19).

Babulal had left for Rajasthan 15 days ago following a relative's death. On Sunday night, Chenni Devi and her children were sleeping in the living room.

Around 1 am, Rakesh allegedly strangled his mother with a cloth and stabbed her on the left side of her neck.

He then alerted his neighbours, who called the ambulance service. Paramedics declared her dead and informed the Thoraipakkam police. The inspector on patrol secured the accused and launched a probe. Chenni Devi's body was sent for autopsy.

Initial probe indicated that Rakesh has been struggling with mental health issues. He reportedly failed Class 12 examinations and was unemployed, for which he was frequently reprimanded by his parents.

Police are investigating all angles, including the accused's mental health history and the circumstances that led to the murder.

The Chief Minister issued the directions while reviewing the functioning of the bio-CNG Plant at Chetpet, which is being operated under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. 

According to a press note, the plant has the capacity to process 140 metric tonnes of wet waste every day and convert it into bio-CNG. The gas produced at the plant is filled into cylinders and supplied to restaurants and commercial establishments. 

During the review, CM Vijay instructed the Corporation to ensure that waste was collected separately from every household as biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. “Biodegradable waste should be converted into bio-CNG, while non-biodegradable waste, including plastic, should be utilised for laying tar roads and in cement manufacturing. Scientific waste management practices should be implemented across all urban local bodies,” he added. 

The review meeting was attended by Additional Chief Secretary Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, Director of Municipal Administration Madhusudhan Reddy, and GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran, among other officials.

The deceased was N Ajay alias 'Bali Aadu' Ajay of SVM Nagar in Otteri. Ajay had over five criminal cases pending against him and worked part-time as a delivery agent.

According to the Washermenpet police, Ajay had dropped a friend near Old Washermenpet on Sunday night and was returning home when he was intercepted by a six-member gang. The assailants allegedly attacked him with knives.

Although Ajay attempted to escape, the gang chased him and repeatedly hacked him before fleeing the scene.

Passersby alerted the police, who rushed Ajay to a government hospital, where doctors declared him dead. His body has been sent for postmortem.

The police said preliminary inquiries revealed that Ajay had earlier been associated with the accused but later parted ways. Investigators suspect a recent dispute, allegedly triggered after Ajay interacted with a woman related to one of the accused on social media, escalated into the fatal attack. Further investigation is ongoing.

According to the civic body, the enforcement drive was carried out in Ward 61 of the Royapuram Zone to clear footpath encroachments that had been obstructing pedestrian movement in the designated non-vending zone.

As part of the operation, officials removed two bunk shops, one sugarcane juice stall and three pushcarts from the stretch outside the maternity hospital. The GCC said that four more shops in the locality have been served notices and directed to relocate to the designated vending zone within five days. It warned that if the shopkeepers fail to comply within the stipulated period, the Corporation will remove the remaining encroachments.

The action comes in the wake of the Chief Minister’s surprise visit to the GH on July 8, during which he reviewed the functioning of the healthcare facility and interacted with patients and staff. The clearance drive is expected to improve pedestrian access and ease movement outside the busy hospital premises.

Conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the IITs on behalf of the National Coordination Board-GATE under the Ministry of Education, the examination will mark its 45th edition since its launch in 1983.

The online application process is expected to begin in the middle of August, while the examination will be conducted on February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2027, in computer-based mode. Tests will be held in both the forenoon and afternoon sessions on each of the six examination days.

Officials said GATE 2027 would comprise 30 papers. A new paper on Robotics and Automation (RA) has been introduced, while the existing Textile Engineering and Fibre Science (TF) paper has been restructured as a sectional component under Engineering Sciences (XE).

The syllabus has also been revised after five years to keep pace with advances in engineering, science and technology.

Candidates will be permitted to appear for one or two papers from the approved combinations. The examination will be conducted only in English, and GATE scores will remain valid for three years from the date of the declaration of results.

To enhance the security and integrity of the examination, the registration process will be integrated with DigiLocker and facial authentication. Candidates have been advised to complete the verification process in advance to facilitate seamless entry into examination centres.

A valid GATE score enables candidates to seek admission, with possible financial assistance, to master’s, direct doctoral and doctoral programmes in institutions supported by the Ministry of Education and other government agencies. The score is also accepted by several higher educational institutions for postgraduate admissions and is widely used by public sector undertakings and other organisations in their recruitment process.

The two-wheeler has also been seized.

According to the police, a video circulated on social media showed the boy riding a motorcycle with registration number TN 05 BK 9369 without a helmet on the 2nd Cross of Madhavaram High Road in Perambur. Two other minor boys were travelling with him, and the vehicle was allegedly being ridden rashly.

Based on the video, the Pulianthope Traffic Investigation Wing registered a case and launched an inquiry.

During the investigation, police found that the rider was a 13-year-old boy who did not possess a driving licence. The vehicle owner, identified as Sumaiya Begam (32), the boy's mother, was booked for knowingly permitting a minor to ride the motorcycle. The vehicle was seized, and further legal action has been initiated.

The Chennai Traffic Police urged motorists to drive responsibly, follow traffic regulations and road safety rules, and respect the value of human life.

The police also warned parents and guardians against allowing or encouraging minors below 18 years of age to operate motor vehicles, stating that legal action would be taken against those found violating the law.

Acting on the information that workers were staying without valid documents, a special team from the Chengalpattu Q Branch conducted a surprise inspection at the scrap yard premises and found that around eight migrant workers were staying there.

During the inquiry, three workers were identified as residents of West Bengal. However, police grew suspicious and subjected them to further questioning. They were later identified as Zakir Bakir (26), Abdul Salam Sidderi (28), and Arif Siddari (25), all from Bangladesh. Police said the trio failed to produce passports or any valid immigration documents.

Preliminary probe revealed that they had crossed the Bangladesh border illegally on foot a few months ago, reached Kolkata by road, and later travelled to Chennai by train in search of work and joined a scrap yard as wage workers.

The Q Branch police have arrested them for entering and residing in India without valid authorisation. Further investigation is on to determine whether they had any local links or assistance.

Police officials said they are intensifying checks across Chennai's suburbs following inputs that more illegal Bangladeshi migrants may be living and working as daily wage labourers.

Basin Elephant Gate Road, a key arterial road connecting Basin Bridge and Choolai, is used by thousands of motorists every day.

As part of the SWD project, a section of the road has been dug up, leaving only a narrow stretch for vehicular movement, resulting in heavy traffic snarls. To ease congestion, Elephant Gate Road has been made a one-way route for vehicles travelling from Basin Bridge towards Choolai Roundabout.

Similarly, vehicles travelling from Choolai Roundabout towards Perambur, Vyasarpadi and Pulianthope have been diverted via DeMellows Road to reach Perambur. These vehicles are not permitted to use Elephant Gate Road.

However, some motorists continue to violate traffic rules and use the restricted routes, further worsening congestion in the area. Rahul, a long-time resident pointed out, “Water has stagnated at the work site and stones are scattered on the road, causing difficulties for two-wheeler riders. Dust generated from the construction work also causes eye irritation to motorists.”

According to a senior official at the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), “SWD works are being carried out for a stretch of around 500 metres from the Amudham Fair Price Shop junction on Demellows Road to the Elephant Gate Road junction. The works have been underway for more than 10 days, and are expected to continue for over another month. Traffic police have to announce alternative routes to reduce congestion, and also urge motorists to use the designated diversions.”

An accomplice of the history sheeter was also apprehended.

Karuppu alias Tamil Alagu (24) is a A+ category rowdy with over a dozen criminal cases against him including murder, attempt to murder among others.

The Tirumudivakkam police received a tip off that Karuppu and his associate, Surya, were making country bombs in a forested area to attack the members of their rival gang. Following this, a special team comprising personnel from Tirumudivakkam, Kundrathur and Sankar Nagar police stations was formed and placed the duo under surveillance.

Acting on an alert in the early hours of Sunday, inspector Muthukumar of Tirumudivakkam station led the team to a dense thicket in Kavanur near Kundrathur, where the two were allegedly making crude bombs. The police surrounded them at gunpoint and ordered them to surrender.

However, the men allegedly pulled out sickles and threatened the officials. In their attempt to flee, they attacked head constable Vijayakumar with a sickle, injuring his hand.

According to the police fearing for the team's safety, sub-inspector Manikandan fired one round in self-defence, hitting Karuppu in the right ankle. He collapsed on the spot with bleeding injuries. The team then overpowered and arrested his associate.

Both the injured history sheeter and the injured constable were given first aid at the Tambaram District Government Hospital and later shifted to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in Chennai for further treatment.

A case has been registered at Tirumudivakkam police station. Investigations are on to find out which rival gang the duo was targeting with the bombs.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Thursday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased ?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

The MTC bus running on route No 99 was heading from Adyar towards Tambaram.

While it was proceeding along Semmozhi Road between Sholinganallur and Medavakkam, the driver swerved to the edge of the road to give way to an oncoming lorry. However, he lost control and the bus toppled headfirst into a waterlogged pit on the roadside.

The police said the stretch has been converted into a one-way road for about 500 metres due to ongoing Metro Rail construction work.

Passers-by and other motorists immediately rushed to help and began rescue operations. Fire and rescue personnel from Medavakkam, ambulances from 108 service and nearby private hospitals reached the spot and rescued the passengers and MTC crew.

Some of the passengers were admitted to a nearby private hospital while others were taken to the Medavakkam Government Hospital for treatment.

Fire personnel used a crane to lift the overturned bus from the marshy area. The operation caused traffic snarls on Semmozhi Road for over an hour, leaving motorists stranded between Sholinganallur and Medavakkam.

The police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. Officials said the condition of the injured is stable.

According to UNICEF, only 41 per cent of young Indians aged 15 to 24 believe it is good to seek support for mental health problems, reflecting the hesitation many continue to have around seeking emotional help and expressing vulnerability. Whether it is choosing a partner, pursuing a career or making an unconventional life choice, many young adults hesitate to open up because they fear how those choices will be received.

According to Dr Priya G Arun Prasad, counselling psychologist, co-founder and director of The Mind and Company, "Many young adults feel trapped because they may feel, 'If I choose my own life, I may lose my family. If I choose my family's expectations, I may lose myself.' Psychologically, this can create perceived helplessness. The person may begin to feel that there is no acceptable solution."

She says such feelings should never be dismissed. "When someone says, 'I feel trapped,' we should not dismiss it as drama. We should try to understand the emotional reality behind that statement and help the person see choices and support that may not be visible to them in that moment."

During moments of crisis, she adds, emotions often overpower rational thinking, making emotional regulation crucial. "The most important decision a person makes during a crisis may sometimes be to not make a permanent decision while experiencing temporary emotional relief."

Counselling psychologist Jagathika Paulpandi believes these patterns often begin much earlier in life. "An individual makes meaning of the world through parental inputs," Jagathika says, adding that children raised in highly controlled environments may gradually learn to avoid punishment rather than express themselves honestly.

"The child understands the home to be a dangerous, non-accepting space, which motivates them to maintain a secretive, non-expressive personality."

As children grow older, she explains, they often begin relying more on peers than parents because they feel accepted and understood. "Listening and validating help a child feel seen and heard, which automatically makes them feel safe," she says, urging parents to create spaces where children can express themselves without fear of harsh reactions.

Mental health coach Nikita Vyas agrees that emotional safety is at the heart of the issue. "When there is a lack of emotional security and space to hold vulnerability at home, it can become challenging for young adults to open up," she says. The fear of being criticised or, worse, the fear of independence being taken away can cause a great deal of insecurity.

She adds that in India, societal expectations often intensify the problem.

"We are conditioned to fit into society rather than cater to our emotional needs. Vulnerability has often been looked down upon and considered a weakness. When there isn't any space to hold vulnerability gently and softly, it causes insecurity, fear, anxiety and trauma."

Having a conversation

The psychologists believe rebuilding trust begins with everyday conversations rather than major confrontations. For parents, Dr Priya says, listening should come before judging. "Instead of beginning with, 'You cannot be with this person,' parents can begin with, 'Help me understand what you see in this relationship.' The goal is not to win an argument. The goal is to keep the door of communication open."

For young adults facing emotional distress, Dr Priya stresses the importance of seeking support before making life-altering decisions. "When someone feels overwhelmed, they need to slow down, create emotional distance from the immediate crisis and speak to someone they trust. If a person feels completely overwhelmed or believes they may harm themselves or someone else, immediate professional or emergency support should be sought."

She concludes with a message to both parents and young adults: "Do not allow one difficult conversation to become the end of communication. Listen before you react. Ask before you assume. And remember that disagreement should never make a person feel that they have lost their right to be heard, loved or supported."

Venkatesh, the injured SI, is attached to the anti-narcotics intelligence unit (ANIU), and was part of the team that was on the look-out for a history sheeter, Boopalan.

After zeroing in on a house in Athipattu where Boopalan was hiding, the SI attempted to nab him. But the history sheeter allegedly attacked Venkatesh with a sickle, inflicting injuries to his head, before fleeing the spot.

Venkatesh was rushed to a private hospital in Minjur, where he received treatment.

Senior police officers, including Red Hills Deputy Commissioner Maheswari, visited the spot and conducted an inquiry. The police have collected CCTV footage from the surrounding areas and formed special teams to trace the accused. Based on Venkatesh's complaint, the Minjur police have registered a case under sections including attempt to murder, assault on a public servant while discharging official duty, and causing grievous hurt with dangerous weapons. Further investigations are under way.

Your question deals with two departments. Both registration and, to some extent, the revenue department have started the digital process of their records, and the application for certain measures has been introduced by an online process. However, it cannot be said all is well. Still, if one goes through agents, one may get things done faster, and one will have to shell out speed money. As you said, RTI cannot achieve better results, and until we get the Right to Services Act, we will be facing difficulties. As of now, you will have to approach the High Court with a writ petition seeking directions to the authorities who are sitting over your application.

Action on SC’s delayed order validating an MLA’s election was only to set records straight

A news report said that after 10 years, the court directed the Assembly Secretary to substitute the name of Mr X as the MLA of the Assembly Constituency between 2016 and 2021. Now, it is already 2026, please detail the MLA substitution process.

The Assembly Secretary had only carried out the judgment of the Supreme Court, which declared the election of an MLA as valid. Though years have rolled by, the records have to be set right. Therefore, the consequential process of rectification was notified in the gazette. This is for future historians who want to research the composition of the house. It has no immediate consequences and has only the effect of keeping the records straight.

The recruitment drive covers leadership positions in operations, rolling stock, electrical systems, architecture, finance and automatic fare collection.

CMRL has announced four regular posts. There’s one post for a general manager (operations) with a pay scale of Rs 1.20 lakh-2.80 lakh and a maximum age limit of 55 years. And, two deputy GMs (rolling stock) posts with a pay scale of Rs 80,000–2.20 lakh, one deputy GM (Automatic Fare Collection) and one manager (Automatic Fare Collection).

Candidates must have BE/BTech degrees in Electrical, Electronics and Communication (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Information Technology (IT), Computer Science Engineering (CSE), or a combination of these disciplines. The upper age limits range from 38-40 years.

Additionally, there are 5 posts on deputation/contract basis – chief general manager or general manager (electrical systems), chief general manager or general manager (rolling stock), joint general manager (architect), deputy general manager (finance and accounts) and two manager (architect) posts.

The monthly remuneration ranges from Rs 85,000 for manager (architect) to Rs 2.70 lakh for CGM-level posts. Maximum age limit varies between 38 and 55 years, while qualifications include BE/BTech (Electrical/ECE), BArch, and UG/PG with CA/CMA for finance and accounts.

Last date to submit online applications is July 20. For more details, visit https://chennaimetrorail.org

The sudden protest brought traffic to a standstill, with vehicles piling up till Mayor R Priya's ward office near Perambur railway station. It was withdrawn after the police and the Thiru Vi Ka Nagar zonal officer assured to consider their demands.

The residents fought for a dedicated playground for nearly seven years since 2019, and finally succeeded when the ground was set up near Vyasarpadi Jeeva railway station in 2025. However, in March, the GCC altered the layout without consulting the local community, they alleged.

Their objection is over the civic body's plan to divide the playground into three: a football turf, an open badminton court, and a children's play area. They argued that the limited space should remain as a single, open playground capable of accommodating multiple sports, including cricket, football and kabaddi.

CB Prabakaran, a resident, said local youth and sports enthusiasts had submitted representations to the Mayor, Thiru Vi Ka Nagar MLA MR Pallavi, and Social Justice Minister Vanni Arasu seeking an immediate halt to the works. "We want a unified playground where multiple sports can be played together in the existing space," he said.

When asked, Thiru Vi Ka Nagar Zonal Officer G Chokkalingampillai said the football turf was redesigned based on the directions from railway authorities regarding the required safety distance from the tracks.

However, the residents are not convinced. A Sriram, another resident, questioned the civic body's explanation that the football turf had to be shifted further inside because of its proximity to the railway tracks. He pointed out that the upgraded playground near Perambur station has a full-sized turf adjacent to the track.

Workers at the site said nearly 85 per cent of the project had been completed. The project also includes setting up children's play equipment, an open gym, a gazebo, a watchman's room, and replacing damaged paver blocks along the footpath.

Zonal Officer Chokkalingampillai said the residents have been invited for a meeting at the zonal office on Monday to discuss and arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.

Thirumudivakkam Police had received a tip off that Karuppu and his associates were making country bombs and rounded him and his associate at a ground. When Police closed in on him,Karuppu allegedly took a machete and attacked a constable, Vijayakumar.

To apprehend him, Sub Inspector Manikandan opened fire on his ankle, leaving him immobilised. Both the injured rowdy and constable were rushed to a Government hospital for treatment. Police later apprehended Karuppu's associate, Surya who fled the scene.

Further investigations are underway.

Kaleeswaran (23) of Chromepet was studying in the final year of law at a private law college in Pallavaram.

A girl student approached the police after discovering that her photograph had been morphed into an obscene image and circulated on social media.

Based on her complaint, the Pallavaram police initiated an inquiry and sought assistance from the Cyber Crime Wing, which traced the uploads to Kaleeswaran's mobile phone.

During questioning, police seized the accused's mobile phone and found obscene edits of photographs of several other women, including students, college faculty members and some of his women relatives and some of them were being uploaded to social media. The case was then transferred to the Shankar Nagar All Women Police Station and case was registered.

Kaleeswaran was arrested, produced before a magistrate and has been lodged in Puzhal Central Prison.

The complainant, a 23-year-old woman from Alwarpet, said that her mother had lent Rs 5 lakh to her younger brother, Dr Selvavel (40), for his medical education.

When the woman's mother contacted Selvavel via WhatsApp to seek repayment on June 12, he allegedly replied with derogatory messages. He also abused his niece and his sister over a video call and allegedly threatened to kill them.

Based on the complaint, the Teynampet police registered a case, and the doctor failed to appear for an inquiry despite being summoned by the police. He subsequently switched off his mobile phone and remained absconding.

A special police team tracked his movements through technical surveillance and arrested him in Thanjavur. He was produced before a magistrate court and remanded in judicial custody.
