The project also includes U-turn service roads beneath the bridge to ease congestion and reduce accidents.</p><p>The Highways Department has completed 94% of its work, while the Railways is widening the existing bridge on both sides. A senior Highways official said that the remaining road works will begin after the railway portion is completed.</p><p>The project will widen the existing three-lane RoB and narrow approach roads to match the IRR’s dual five-lane configuration. The stretch between Padi junction and the bridge is a traffic bottleneck, with the road narrowing to two lanes near Padi railway station on the Villivakkam side. Sharp curves beyond the bridge approach also make the stretch accident-prone.</p><p>“We’ve completed 94% of the work. The railway work is at the substructure stage. Once it’s completed, the widened carriageway will be opened to traffic,” the official said.</p><figure><img alt="Widening of Padi RoB" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/jpr17te9/IMG0266.jpg" /><figcaption>Widening of Padi RoB</figcaption></figure><p>The department is also planning U-turn service roads beneath the RoB on the Padi and Red Hills sides, for which the state government sanctioned Rs 14.5 crore in July 2025. Highway department officials said that the new service roads would let residents of Villivakkam, Kolathur, Thathankuppam and nearby areas on the right side of the IRR reach Korattur, Red Hills and other localities on the left side without relying on the congested Korattur North junction.</p><p>Vehicles heading towards the proposed Greater Chennai Corporation amusement park at Villivakkam tank would also benefit, as they would no longer need to travel up to the Korattur North signal to take a U-turn. Industries in the corridor, including Wheels India, Lucas TVS and Sundaram Clayton, are expected to gain from improved freight movement.</p><p>The proposed service roads will range from 354 metres to 424 metres, with 75-metre sections passing beneath the railway span. The design provides more than 5.5 metres of vertical clearance beneath the railway girders. Continuous footpaths are also planned to improve pedestrian safety.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-21/vmzo5mq1/IMG0243.jpg" /></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai power shutdown live updates: Check when electricity supply will be cut in your area</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/live-power-shutdown-chennai-electricity-updates-check-your-area-timings-details</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/live-power-shutdown-chennai-electricity-updates-check-your-area-timings-details#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6fab3145-12c2-40bc-b1af-e4fb7e46dad7</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 13:52:34 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-21T13:50:34.582Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>power supply,Power shutdown,Electricity,Chennai</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-18/hixx0xlm/Electricity.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image ]]></media:title><media:description type="html"></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-18/hixx0xlm/Electricity.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI: </strong>Tangedco schedules power shutdowns across parts of the city regularly to carry out routine maintenance and infrastructure improvement works. </p><p>Electricity supply remains suspended for a few hours in affected areas and is restored once the maintenance process is completed.

private companies on long-term lease under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, to bring their services and infrastructure up to international standards.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/central-government-plans-to-hand-over-chennai-and-kolkata-airports-to-the-private-sector">a Daily Thanthi report</a>, the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation is actively examining the proposal, which would add the two airports to the list of major airports already run by private operators, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and

Bringing together more than 90 works, the exhibition reflects the different paths they have taken since graduation and the experiences that have shaped their artistic practices.</p><p>In 1994, shortly after graduating, a group of 10 to 15 painting students came together for an exhibition at the Madras Museum.

The works reflect the artists’ individual journeys, offering a glimpse of how their perspectives and practices have evolved over the years.</p><p><br>“The exhibition has come together very well. We have received positive feedback from visitors, especially about how we have come together after so many years and how our work reflects a more mature perspective,” Anbu says.</p><p><br>The inauguration was a special occasion for the participating artists, who welcomed visitors and exchanged thoughts about their works. Eminent artist and film art director Thota Tharani also visited the exhibition, spending time with the artists and engaging with their creations.

For <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/costume-designer">costume designer</a> Uthara Menon, clothing is an extension of how she feels, lives and sees the world. At Under the Mango Tree, her pop-up, this comes together in a collection that moves between colourful casual wear, Indo-western outfits, festive ensembles, heritage saris and functional garments designed around women’s needs.</p><p>“I don’t particularly follow trends. I love to play with colour. It’s just an extension of expression and feeling,” says Uthara, whose work spans television commercials and feature films across industries.</p><p>Uthara began her career styling television commercials before moving into feature films. Her association with filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, who is also her brother, began with a commercial he directed, eventually opening the door to cinema. Although she has worked on several of his films, including Yennai Arindhaal and Enai Noki Paayum Thota, her work extends beyond that association, with credits across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada cinema.</p><p>For Uthara, costume design involves much more than selecting outfits. She develops character concepts and sketches, explores colour palettes and works with the production designer and cinematographer to ensure that the costumes complement the film’s visual language.</p><p>“The whole idea is every frame should be seamless. Nothing should stand off or look garish or suddenly disturb your eye,” she explains, adding that the aim is to keep the audience focused on the character and the dialogue.</p><p>One of her memorable approaches was styling Trisha’s character in Yennai Arindhaal, who is established as a Bharatanatyam dancer. Uthara gave the character a Bohemian sensibility with a classical touch, using vibrant colours and Indo-western styles.</p><p>Her work on period films has offered a different creative challenge. For the Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, she developed styling concepts for the cast, including Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi, drawing on historical references to recreate the clothing of an earlier era. She also recalls the extensive concept-art work involved in Kathanar, which required the team to imagine how people from a distant historical period might have dressed.</p><p>It is this freedom to research, sketch and bring an imagined world to life that excites her. The same instinct to experiment with colour, silhouette and detail now finds expression in her independent clothing collection.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/wkt5i8oh/IMG-20261020-WA0010.jpg" /></figure><p>At Under the Mango Tree, Uthara brings together everyday wear, party outfits, festive clothing and Indo-western styles, alongside the soft launch of her heritage sari collection, B’less braless everyday wear and Bloom post-mastectomy recovery garments. The collection reflects her preference for pieces that feel distinctive rather than mass-produced or trend-based.</p><p>The pop-up also marks the launch of her heritage sari collection, a venture she is developing to revive vintage styles that she believes deserve a place in contemporary wardrobes.</p><p>“I am very old school. I love the classic vintage styles and have always tried to take a leaf out of the old,” she says.</p><p>She feels that fashion can sometimes be driven by peer pressure and the desire to be seen, rather than by an appreciation of what one genuinely enjoys wearing. Her answer is to bring back styles that are timeless, tasteful and beautiful.</p><p>Her eye for fashion was also shaped at home. Uthara credits her mother, whom she describes as a fashionista, for teaching her the importance of tailoring and putting an outfit together. That attention to detail, combined with her own instinct for colour, continues to influence her designs.</p><p>The collection experiments with textiles and colour, with dresses crafted from banana silk and hemp silk, alongside flaxseed cotton and natural dyes. Kanchi cotton finds its place in the mix, too, while the heritage sari collection brings vintage weaves into focus. The idea is to bring together varied fabrics, traditional textiles and contemporary silhouettes, reflecting Uthara’s preference for classic styles with an individual touch.</p><p>Two of Uthara’s clothing initiatives address specific needs that can be overlooked in mainstream fashion: B’less, her braless everyday-wear line, and Bloom, a functional garment collection for women recovering from mastectomy surgery.</p><p>B’less emerged from personal experience. Having lived with neck and shoulder pain, Uthara wanted to explore an alternative that could be comfortable enough for everyday use.</p><p>“I just wanted to share my relief with everyone,” she says. The line features form-fitting garments designed to provide a snug fit. For Uthara, the idea is not simply about a different style of dressing, but about making comfort an everyday possibility.</p><p>Bloom came from witnessing a more specific and vulnerable experience. Someone close to Uthara was reluctant to be seen in public with the drain bags and tubes required during post-mastectomy recovery. Uthara realised that a simple clothing solution could help conceal them and restore a sense of confidence.</p><p>“It was a simple fix of concealment, and it really brought a smile to her face,” she recalls.</p><p>The garments are designed to accommodate the practical needs of recovery while allowing women to move around more comfortably instead of feeling confined to their homes. Uthara uses soft, breathable cotton fabrics, mindful of the need to avoid irritating sensitive skin.</p><p>She is also exploring ways to extend the usefulness of these garments beyond the initial recovery period. Since they may be needed for only a few weeks, she hopes to repurpose suitable pieces for regular wear or pass them on to women who cannot afford them, potentially through charitable institutions. She is working towards building awareness and connecting with hospitals and medical professionals to take the initiative further.</p><p>“I’m a sucker for classic,” she says. In a fashion landscape that often moves at the speed of the next trend, Uthara’s approach is to look back, think differently and create clothes that find a place in real life.</p><p>Under the Mango Tree is on at Vinyl and Brew, Alwarpet, Chennai, until October 24.

Market authorities attributed the loss to significantly reduced customer footfall during the pooja holidays, coupled with intermittent <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/rainfall">rainfall </a>across Tamil Nadu.</p><p>However, the resulting supply surplus offers consumers an opportunity to purchase essential vegetables at lower costs.</p><p>Speaking to DT Next, president of the Koyambedu Semi-Wholesale Vegetable Traders Association said, “Due to intermittent rain and low customer footfall during the festival period, stock that arrived at markets across districts and State could not be sold properly. A similar trend prevailed on Tuesday, as conditions remained unchanged.

We have also mobilised additional vehicles, including JCBs, and pre-positioned all of them," he said. </p><p>Speaking about the Corporation's preparedness, Sameeran said, "This is a year where there is a Super El Niño, where the Pacific is heated up more than three degrees Celsius, and it has an impact all over the globe. This year, we had predictions that this Northeast monsoon is going to be unpredictable—the prediction itself is that it is going to be unpredictable."</p><p>"In that case, we have to be prepared for the worst-case scenario and hope for the best. Our priority actions are along those lines," he said. Sameeran said Chief Minister Vijay had inspected the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) and held a briefing meeting with officials on Sunday, emphasising the need to focus on mitigation in the event of extreme weather. </p> <p>"The Chief Minister inspected and held a briefing meeting with all of us yesterday at our ICCC, the Integrated Command and Control Centre, and emphasised the same: if there is an extreme weather event, we must focus on mitigation. This is how we are focusing our preparedness: First, keeping our infrastructure, workforce, and material ready. Specifically, we have mobilised 15,000 personnel to work through the night, including sanitary workers," he said. </p><p>"Crucially, we pre-positioned most of these personnel and materials by the 10th of this month before the event occurred on the 17th. This timely pre-positioning has helped us a great deal," Sameeran added. Yesterday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay visited Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) headquarters on Sunday to review preparedness for the northeast monsoon and assess the city's rain-related situation. </p><p>During his visit to the GCC headquarters, the Chief Minister monitored live CCTV camera feeds and reviewed the situation in a control room (war room), focusing on subways, waterlogging-prone roads and other vulnerable areas. The high-level review was to monitor the precautionary measures, waterlogging management, and the monitoring of vulnerable locations across the city.

For some Chennai households, the annual tradition is an opportunity to tell stories. Each display explores how Golu can connect people with their heritage, memories and one another.</p><h2>A tribute to the Cholas through Ponniyin Selvan</h2><p>When visitors look at Ramya Shankar’s Golu, they might recognise a character from Mani Ratnam’s <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/ponniyin-selvan">Ponniyin Selvan</a> films before identifying the historical figure behind it. For Ramya, that moment of recognition is what makes her theme worthwhile. “I have always felt that the Chola dynasty deserves so much more recognition than it receives today,” she says, pointing to the dynasty’s contributions to architecture, temple construction, administration, trade and maritime expeditions. Her display is a personal tribute to the Chola kings and their legacy, drawing inspiration from Kalki Krishnamurthy’s celebrated historical novel and the renewed interest generated by its film adaptations.</p><p>Ponniyin Selvan offers a compelling entry point into a larger historical world. Ramya wanted her Golu to give visitors a glimpse of that world, including those who may not have read the novel. She finds it amusing when visitors identify a character by the actor who portrayed them rather than by the character’s name. Yet she sees this familiarity as an opportunity to spark conversations about the story and the history behind it.</p><p>Translating a richly imagined literary world into a physical display presented its own challenges. The palaces, costumes and settings that readers visualise while reading the novel had to be recreated within the practical constraints of a Golu arrangement. The setup took a day, followed by another day of photographing the display, with adjustments along the way to bring the overall vision together.</p><p>For Ramya, Golu need not be restricted to deities and mythology. She believes traditions should evolve and make room for new ideas while retaining their essence. If the display encourages even a few visitors to explore Kalki’s novel or learn more about the Cholas, she considers it a meaningful way to celebrate Tamil literature and history.</p><figure><img alt="Garbhagraham" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/vaaq4y8s/IMG-20261017-WA0023.jpg" /><figcaption>Garbhagraham</figcaption></figure><figure><img alt="Vijay Rajan N" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-18/ej23rx2o/IMG-20261016-WA0034.jpg" /><figcaption>Vijay Rajan N</figcaption></figure><h2>Aalayam: A divine temple tour powered by technology</h2><p>What if a visit to a traditional South Indian temple could be experienced through a Golu display at home? That is the idea behind Vijay Rajan N and his family’s Aalayam: A Divine Temple Tour, an elaborate presentation comprising 35 themes and sub-themes.</p><p>Conceived as a journey through temple life, the display takes visitors through a Golu mandapam and temple gopurams to the mada veedhi, theppakulam, goshalai, sannidhis, chariot processions and prasadam seva. Each section represents a different aspect of temple life, bringing together architecture, rituals, spirituality and community life.</p><p>The family has also incorporated technology to animate parts of the display. A moving golden chariot, a moving ther veethi ula model and an AI-assisted Kumbhabhishegam presentation add movement and visual interest to the traditional arrangement. For Rajan, however, technology is meant to enhance the experience rather than replace the spiritual essence of Golu.</p><p>The preparation involved months of conceptualisation and around five months of dedicated work. The family planned the themes, sourced dolls and props, designed the layouts and coordinated the arrangements across multiple floors and rooms. One of the challenges was ensuring that the 35 sections retained their individual identities while contributing to a coherent temple journey.</p><p>Beyond the grand deities and illuminated chariot, Rajan says, the smaller details matter too. Scenes depicting prasadam seva and temple administration draw attention to the service, discipline and collective effort that sustain a temple. The family hopes the display will encourage younger visitors to engage with their cultural heritage through a combination of traditional storytelling and technology.</p><p>The family’s efforts earned recognition from the India Book of Records in 2024 and World Records India for its 2025 Golu achievement, which was recognised in 2026. Yet Rajan sees the experience primarily as a family endeavour and an opportunity to share traditions with visitors. The display is open to visitors at 43 Sakthi Vinayagar Koil Street, Vinayagapuram, Ambattur.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/7eopfc49/IMG-20261017-WA0028.jpg" /></figure><figure><img alt="Ramya Shankar

</figcaption></figure><h2>Bringing the spirit of Golu to a retirement home</h2><p>At a retirement home, the most meaningful part of Golu may not be the grandeur of the display but the sight of residents dressing up for the festival, joining the puja and recalling celebrations with their families. That is the experience the Mylapore Trio, comprising Amarnath, Aparna and Surendranath, hopes to create through its initiative to introduce thematic Golus at a retirement home.</p><p>The trio has created two displays at different locations. At the retirement home, the main theme explores Shaivam and Vaishnavam, presenting their deities, stories, temples and philosophical traditions through carefully arranged dolls. At their own home, the second display explores Dvayam Tattvam, the idea of pairs and dualities, through religious figures and stories.</p><p>The initiative is rooted in the cultural and philanthropic values instilled in the trio by their foster parents, Sunkhi and Rajasekaran. Having promoted cultural activities among younger generations, they wanted to extend the experience to senior citizens, many of whom live apart from their children and grandchildren.</p><figure><img alt="Ponniyan Selvan golu" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/owkfh5b3/Pooniyin-selvan.jpg" /><figcaption>Ponniyan Selvan golu</figcaption></figure><p>Aparna recalls encouraging residents to bring out their traditional sarees and clothes and dress up for the celebrations. Some asked their children to send their clothes so they could participate. The festivities have grown into social gatherings where residents perform puja, receive prasadam, sing and recite slokas, and learn about the stories behind the dolls.</p><p>Daily morning and evening aarti, naivedyam and storytelling sessions help recreate familiar festival routines. Residents also call their children to share that they have performed puja that day, bringing their families into the experience even from a distance. Surendranath says residents often sit for half an hour or longer to listen to the stories, despite the discomfort that can accompany age and health concerns. </p><figure><img alt="Dvayam Tatvam golu" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/l5fpp3ml/IMG-20261016-WA0035.jpg" /><figcaption>Dvayam Tatvam golu</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Kodambakkam High Road bus shelter on the verge of collapse</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-kodambakkam-high-road-bus-shelter-on-the-verge-of-collapse-2</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-kodambakkam-high-road-bus-shelter-on-the-verge-of-collapse-2#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ce075a1b-912c-44a5-99ee-543718268c24</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 02:41:41 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-19T02:41:41.899Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Vasudevan S</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371197</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>bus shelter,collapse,Kodambakkam High Road</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/404e8n4i/Kodambakkam.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Kodambakkam High Road bus shelter on the verge of collapse]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Kodambakkam High Road bus shelter on the verge of collapse]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-19/404e8n4i/Kodambakkam.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A bus shelter on Dr MGR Salai (Kodambakkam High Road) in Nungambakkam has remained unattended for the past 20 days, raising concerns over public safety. </p><p>The shelter roof and some of its supporting pillars are in poor condition, with a few pillars seen leaning. A portion of the structure has also been tied with ropes as a temporary safety measure, prompting the public to fear that it could collapse at any time.</p><h2>Damaged structure poses safety risk</h2><p>The shelter is located close to a temple and fair price shop, and with regular movement of residents in the area. Several employees working in nearby IT companies and other shops also use the footpath on this stretch. Residents fear that the damaged structure could collapse any time, posing a risk to pedestrians and motorists.</p><p>A shopkeeper, Anand, said, “The shelter may have been damaged after a large vehicle hit it during the night. Since the incident happened at night, it is not clear who hit the structure. People are now hesitant to go near the fair price shop. As a result, many are forced to walk on the road instead of using the shelter area.”</p><h2>Residents seek immediate removal</h2><p>Another resident, Suresh, pointed out that vehicles moved in both directions along the stretch from Kodambakkam High Road towards Valluvar Kottam as it’s a two-way road. “At night, visibility is lower, and if any part of the damaged shelter collapses, motorists and pedestrians may find it difficult to notice it in time. This could lead to accidents. The damaged shelter should therefore be removed immediately,” he opined.</p><h2>Police identify person responsible</h2><p>A senior Corporation official told DT Next that a case had been registered in connection with the incident and that the police had identified the person responsible for damaging the shelter. “Safety measures have been taken to prevent people from approaching the damaged structure,” he added.</p><p>Though the structure was bent due to the impact, it has been temporarily secured with ropes. There is no impact on bus services as buses are not operated on this particular stretch of the road.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
