It also reported that the proposed installation of a new radar is still pending.</p><h2>Chennai radar develops technical problem</h2><p>The Doppler Weather Radar at the Chennai Port is an important tool for monitoring rain-bearing systems, cyclonic formations and changes in rainfall intensity. Its observations are particularly useful for nowcasting, which provides short-term weather information for the next few hours.</p><p>According to Thanthi TV, the latest radar issue has created a challenge for weather monitoring as Tamil Nadu enters a period of increased rainfall activity.</p><h2>New radar installation work still pending</h2><p>Thanthi TV also reported that the work to install a new radar has not yet been completed. The development has drawn attention to the need for additional and reliable radar coverage ahead of the northeast monsoon.</p><p>At present, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) continues to provide Chennai radar observations through its official platform, including rainfall intensity and other radar products.</p><h2>Other radars support Chennai weather monitoring</h2><p>Chennai's weather monitoring does not rely on a single radar. Data from other radar facilities, including the NIOT (The National Institute of Ocean Technology) radar at Pallikaranai, Sriharikota and Karaikal, along with satellite observations and weather models, are used for weather analysis.</p><p>The IMD's Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai also issues district-wise warnings and nowcast information for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.</p><h2>Chennai radar had faced problems earlier</h2><p>The latest development comes against the backdrop of earlier problems with the city's radar. In 2018, The Times of India reported that the Doppler Weather Radar at the Chennai Port Trust building was not functioning at its optimal level and was able to measure only some parameters.</p><p>The radar later underwent repairs and was restored for round-the-clock operations in August 2022, said a DT Next report. This history highlights the challenges involved in maintaining ageing weather-monitoring infrastructure.</p><h2>2021 rains highlighted importance of radar data</h2><p>The importance of continuous radar coverage was also highlighted during the heavy rainfall episode in November 2021. The News Minute reported that the Chennai and Karaikal radars were under maintenance when the city subsequently recorded more than 20 cm of rain during the intense spell.</p><p>The report also explained the distinction between nowcasting and forecasting. Doppler radar is particularly useful for short-term nowcasting, while satellite observations and numerical weather models support longer-range forecasting.</p><h2>Why radar matters during northeast monsoon</h2><p>Doppler radar helps meteorologists monitor the movement, intensity and direction of rain-bearing clouds in near real time. This is particularly important during intense or localised rainfall, when conditions can change rapidly.</p><p>With a weather system over the Bay of Bengal expected to intensify in the coming days, the reported radar issue and pending new installation have renewed focus on Chennai's weather-monitoring infrastructure.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai SI murder: Wife fed him sleeping pills, set him on fire; techie held for helping her

<p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> In a dramatic gold smuggling case at Chennai Airport, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) arrested six people, including two Sri Lankan passengers, two Customs Havildars and two airport X-ray department staff, for facilitating the smuggling of 2.6 kg of 24-carat gold worth around 4 crore.</p><p>Upon receiving information that Customs Havildars working at the airport were allegedly assisting passengers in bringing gold from foreign countries and taking it out of the airport, a special team of DRI officials in Chennai began monitoring passengers arriving on international flights, during the night and early morning hours.</p><p>The incident happened in the first week of September when a Sri Lankan Airlines flight arrived from Dubai via Sri Lanka. Two Sri Lankan passengers from the flight declared that they were not carrying any Customs duty goods and attempted to leave the airport through Green channel.</p><p>However, officials stopped them on suspicion and conducted a search of their belongings. As nothing suspicious was found in their luggage, they were handed over to two Customs Havildars, Karthik and Arun, for further examination. They had instructed the Havildars to take the duo to the airport’s X-ray department for a complete examination.</p><p>The Havildars took them to the X-ray department but, instead of subjecting them to a fresh X-ray exam, the Havildars returned with two previously prepared X-ray result copies indicating that no suspicious material had been detected inside the duo’s bodies. They presented the reports to the Customs officials and claimed that the passengers were not carrying smuggled gold.</p><p>The DRI special team, which had been monitoring all this from a distance, immediately intervened. They took the duo and the Havildars to the X-ray examination room, and conducted fresh X-ray examinations of the passengers. The X-ray reports revealed that gold bars had been concealed inside the rectums of both passengers.</p><p>Following that, the DRI officials arrested the two passengers, two Havildars and two employees of the airport’s X-ray department. They also recovered and seized the gold bars concealed inside the bodies of the two passengers. A total of 2.6 kg of gold valued at around Rs 4 crore (international market value) was recovered.</p><p>Following the seizure, officials took the accused to the DRI office in Chennai, where they underwent several hours of interrogation. The suspects were produced before the Alandur court and remanded in judicial custody at Puzhal Central Prison.</p><p>The DRI are investigating to find the others who are involved in the gold smuggling operation, and also find out how long the suspects had been carrying out the smuggling activities.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Kauvery Hospital launches bike ambulances across Chennai</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/kauvery-hospital-deploys-bike-ambulances-to-speed-up-emergency-response-in-chennai</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/kauvery-hospital-deploys-bike-ambulances-to-speed-up-emergency-response-in-chennai#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">2ebfee07-a186-41d9-8df2-6cbee638672e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:36:17 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-21T11:36:17.988Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Kauvery hospital,Bike Ambulance,Emergency Response</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/yvzqf4vl/1-6.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ The brand new bike Ambulances.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ The brand new bike Ambulances.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/yvzqf4vl/1-6.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/kauvery-hospital">Kauvery Hospital</a> on Monday launched "Kauvery First Responders", deploying 10 bike ambulances across <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/chennai">Chennai</a> to provide rapid first-response medical care at emergency scenes, particularly where traffic congestion could delay conventional ambulances.</p><p>The initiative was launched in the presence of P Pakalavan, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic–South), Chennai.

Agents said the shortage has occurred because Aavin has not increased its milk procurement.</p><p>Due to the shortage, the number of Aavin milk boxes supplied to outlets has also been reduced.

Traditionally held in Munich, the festival is known for its beer gardens, hearty food, music and lively gatherings. This year, Chennai gets its own taste of Oktoberfest, with hotels bringing German dishes, beers and the beer garden experience to the city</p><figure><img alt="At Taj Coromandel" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/hvr1ppad/Untitled-design-29.jpg" /><figcaption>At Taj Coromandel</figcaption></figure><p>At Hyatt Regency Chennai, the team is recreating the feel of a German beer garden with German-inspired food and drinks. Chef Sradhanjali says the menu brings together several specialities, with sausages taking centre stage. “The cuisine is German and all the specialities from Germany will be there. One of the specials is the sausages. In the buffet, there will be a variety of sausages, including Nuremberg, chicken bratwurst and pork bratwurst. We will also have ham, meatloaf, pretzels and the famous potato salad,” she says.</p><p>Chef Manish Uniyal says the idea is to capture the atmosphere of an Oktoberfest beer garden, where beer and food go hand in hand. “The whole ambience is about a beer garden. In Germany, during Oktoberfest, you have beer gardens where beer maids carry large mugs of beer and serve them with bite-sized food and sausages. Sausages also have different characteristics. Some are smoked, some are cured, while others have herbs or different flavourings,” he says.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/bringing-thiruvizha-spirit-to-chennai">Bringing thiruvizha spirit to Chennai</a></aside><figure><img alt="At Hyatt Regency" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/sq6lqqss/Untitled_design__30_.jpg" /><figcaption>At Hyatt Regency</figcaption></figure><p>One of the highlight dishes on the menu is Sauerbraten, a German roast traditionally made with marinated beef. “It is an actual German dish and, in a way, Germany’s answer to Italian pasta. We also want to make Chennai familiar with German food through this event,” says Manish. Jazz music will also be part of the experience.</p><p>Over at Taj Coromandel, Oktoberfest celebrations at Chipstead bring flavours of Bavaria to the table. Area Culinary Director - South and Executive Chef Vikas Milhoutra has put together a menu featuring dishes such as Gurken Salat, a crisp cucumber and gherkin salad with a light vinaigrette, and Wurstsalat, made with chicken sausage, gherkins and red onions.</p><p>“Fleischpflanzerl, featuring crumb-fried pork patties, is another offering, while Currywurst brings together sliced chicken bratwurst with a rich ketchup-curry sauce. Our dessert menu includes Apfel-Streusel Kuchen, an apple crumble cake served with vanilla sauce, and Kaesekuchen, a creamy German-style cheesecake,” Vikas shares.</p><p>Meanwhile, The Spotted Deer at The Palomar by Crossway is bringing back its Oktoberfest celebrations until October 4. Titled ‘Beer, Bites, Bavarian Vibes’, the festival combines German-inspired food with German beers, signature cocktails and mocktails. The menu includes Chicken Schnitzel, Oktoberfest Brisket Sando and Cottage Cheese Steak, alongside Bavarian-style bites designed to pair with the drinks.</p><p>With each venue putting its own spin on the festival, Oktoberfest in Chennai is as much about exploring German food as it is about the beer.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Lawfully yours: By Retired Justice K Chandru | Court cannot push its ideas on State over six-decade two-language policy</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/lawfully-yours-by-retired-justice-k-chandru-court-cannot-push-its-ideas-on-state-over-six-decade-two-language-policy</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/lawfully-yours-by-retired-justice-k-chandru-court-cannot-push-its-ideas-on-state-over-six-decade-two-language-policy#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">aa32b918-1465-434b-a0a0-3e12268656a5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:50:10 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-21T01:50:10.360Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Justice (Retd) K Chandru</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371169</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords></media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/h-upload/2025/02/16/856964-untitled-design-17.jpg" width="1500"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Retd Justice K Chandru]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Retd Justice K Chandru]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/h-upload/2025/02/16/856964-untitled-design-17.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[  <p>The Supreme Court direction asking Tamil Nadu to identify land for Navodaya Vidyalayas leaves readers like me confused. The court emphasised cooperative federalism, but is federalism a one-way obligation for states? Under the three-language policy, do Navodaya schools in Hindi-ruled or other northern states actually offer Tamil as an optional, third or fourth language in practice? If reciprocal language learning is not genuinely happening elsewhere, why is Tamil Nadu accused of being non-cooperative for defending its two-language stance? Also, if the state government complies and identifies land now as directed, does it legally weaken our pending petition against the scheme itself, or is this land allocation purely a procedural step?</p><p>-- Kayal Vizhi T, Kilpauk</p><p>While the bench of Justice Nagarathna is telling the Tamil Nadu government to accept Navodaya Schools in Tamil Nadu, help procure land in each district, and accept Hindi as a third language, another bench of Justice Joymalya Bagchi is telling the CBSE to have three languages for Std VI next year, explaining that pushing the load on them will be difficult. How can two benches of the same court speak in different directions simultaneously?</p><p>Having a two-language policy has been the policy decision of successive state governments over the last six decades, and the court cannot push its ideas of what is good onto the government. Education is in the Concurrent List, and the state can decide what is good for it. Since under Article 1 India is a Union of States, sovereignty vests in the states also.</p><p>Many did not think of children's welfare while introducing Navodaya Schools, which offer residential education from classes 6 to 12. That means, at a young age, the child will be away from parents, which, at that impressionable age, is not good. From 12 to 18 years, the best place for a child is to be kept with parents. The judge, while advocating Hindi as a third language, did not consider the very idea of splitting the child from the family. The Minister has correctly asserted that it was a suggestion from the court and not a judgment, and the government will not give up its stance on its entry into Tamil Nadu.</p><p>Three-monthly power bill is illegal; aggrievese consumers can approach High Court</p><p>Electricity meter assessors in Madhavaram only visit homes bi-monthly to read meters and post bills. However, due to chronic short-staffing, there is currently an unexplained three-month delay. This lackadaisical approach comes at a dear cost to consumers, as delayed readings cause unit consumption to accumulate, pushing households into higher tariff slabs and resulting in arbitrarily inflated, fat bills. Despite large-scale community complaints, officials remain inaccessible, and the promised transition to smart meters remains only on paper. As a legal expert, could you please advise whether there is a regulatory provision to demand a pro-rata recalculation of bills so consumers aren't penalised for Tangedco’s administrative delays? Also, what statutory compensation can be claimed for failure to meet billing timelines under TNERC codes, and can one approach the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF) to enforce accountability?</p><p>-- Girija Devi, Madhavaram, Chennai</p><p>While electricity consumers are demanding a monthly bill, Tangedco is giving bi-monthly bills, thereby making consumers pay more beyond the free supply limit. Giving a three-monthly bill is a clearly illegal action. Aggrieved persons can move the High Court for redressing their grievances. The jurisdiction of the consumer court at times may be doubtful because an element of free supply is involved.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Damaged roads in Iyyappanthangal leave residents struggling for over six months</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-damaged-roads-in-iyyappanthangal-leave-residents-struggling-for-over-six-months</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-damaged-roads-in-iyyappanthangal-leave-residents-struggling-for-over-six-months#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b306cb19-b5f5-4cb1-9c46-082fd9b10cc8</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:48:37 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-21T01:48:37.139Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Vasudevan S</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371197</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>pipeline work,roads,Iyyappanthangal</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/joogg8xx/1.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Pothole-ridden RR Nagar 6th Street turns slushy after a mild shower]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Pothole-ridden RR Nagar 6th Street turns slushy after a mild shower]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-21/joogg8xx/1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> For more than 6 months, roads in RR Nagar, <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/iyyappanthangal">Iyyappanthangal</a>, have remained in a damaged condition, due to the ongoing Metro Water pipeline works, with 6th Street among the worst-affected stretches.</p><p>The pipeline project is being implemented to supply drinking water from Chembarambakkam Lake to Moulivakkam, Paraniputhur, Chinnakulathancheri and EVP Park Avenue.

Students urge the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/higher-education">Higher Education Department </a>and the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tn-government">State government</a> to step in immediately to improve the institution’s basic hygiene infrastructure.</p><figure><img alt="Presidency College toilet" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/32omb4jf/Presidency-College-toilet1.jpeg" /><figcaption>Presidency College toilet</figcaption></figure><p>According to college data, there are more than 5,000 students at the institution but there are only 5 toilets on campus for students – 2 for men and 3 for women.</p><p>Men say their toilets are always in disrepair and have called for dedicated staff to clean and maintain them. Women, meanwhile, pointed out that the sanitary napkin dispenser has not been working for over a year.</p><p>Students report that several toilet doors have been completely broken for months. Also, female students pointed out the lack of dustbins, forcing them to throw sanitary napkins inside the toilet, resulting in clogging.</p><p>A male student of the Tamil Department alleged that, out of two, only one toilet is used by male students on the entire campus. “The sewage water overflows from the toilet near the Physics department. And the door of the two toilets is completely broken; students do not defecate and prefer other places and public toilets,” said a student.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-lack-of-upkeep-leaves-100-year-old-lady-willingdon-college-struggling">Chennai: Lack of upkeep leaves 100-year-old Lady Willingdon college struggling</a></aside><figure><img alt="Presidency College toilet" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/7vmv73cz/Presidency-College-toilet2.jpeg" /><figcaption>Presidency College toilet</figcaption></figure><p>Also, a male toilet near the Chemistry department is completely unusable, with no lights, and has become a home for illegal activities. “After class hours, students use the toilet for illegal activities. Both Western and Indian toilets are encrusted with deep grime, discolouration, and lack of regular cleaning and flushing. The foul odour, stagnant water, and severe grime pose significant health risks and vector-borne diseases,” lamented another student in the Chemistry department.</p><p>A female student in the Psychology department alleged, “Proper maintenance and cleaning are required for the female toilet near the department. As my class is located nearby, the foul odour is unbearable. We can’t even listen to our classes. Most of us in the second shift don’t even use the toilet. We control ourselves all day and go to the hostel. Many of us don’t drink water because of this.”</p><p>The sanitary napkin vending machines remain non-operational. Without dustbins, students have the only option to throw them in the toilets, another student added.</p><p>A recent assessment by the Directorate of Collegiate Education (DCE) has exposed major infrastructure gaps in all 181 government arts and science colleges in TN, with inadequate toilet facilities.</p><p>Vice-Principal OR Devanathan told DT Next, “The cleaning activities are happening in all the toilets. Though we repair the equipment, students continue to break them. However, the issues regarding the poor sanitation will be addressed immediately.”</p><figure><img alt="Presidency College toilet" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/2fzjts3v/Presidency-College-toilet5.jpeg" /><figcaption>Presidency College toilet</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>YouTuber Irfan car accident: Chennai court orders Rs 30.69 lakh compensation to victim&apos;s family</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/irfan-car-accident-court-orders-rs-3069-lakh-compensation-to-victims-family</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/irfan-car-accident-court-orders-rs-3069-lakh-compensation-to-victims-family#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">e4f71d08-8145-4037-8df6-e5c804a05f33</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 09:38:55 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T09:38:55.946Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chengalpattu,car accident,Youtuber Irfan,Youtuber Irfan car accident</media:keywords><media:content height="432" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/ywk69xct/Irfan-car-accident-Court-orders-Rs-30.69-lakh-compensation-to-victims-family" width="768"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Irfan car accident: Court orders Rs 30.69 lakh compensation to victim's family
