<p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Unchecked sewage diversion and severe infrastructure neglect at the Pattabiram railway station have pushed daily rail commuters and residents into a major public health crisis. </p><p>Untreated household sewage, diverted into storm water drains (SWDs), is continuously stagnating between the two railway tracks adjacent to the station.</p><p>According to the Rail Passengers Association, stagnant sewage has turned the station premises into a hazardous breeding ground for mosquitoes and poisonous insects.</p><p>The environmental contamination has severely degraded groundwater quality, making borewell water unsafe and causing widespread skin infections.</p><p>A Roy Rozario, president of the Rail Passengers Association and a resident of Pattabiram, said, “I’ve sent a formal letter to CM Cell, Southern Railways and Avadi Corporation to divert the SWD to the Railway Road. However, neither Southern Railway, Avadi Corporation, nor defence authorities have taken concrete action in the last four years to construct proper storm drains and reroute sewage along Railway Road. The bureaucratic shuffling between Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and Avadi Corporation is actively endangering the health and safety of thousands of daily suburban passengers and residents. If an urgent joint inspection is not conducted, we will be constrained to move the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for immediate intervention.”</p><p>Echoing him, R Adkikesavan, VP of Rail Passengers Association, said that due to the stagnation, borewell water has turned yellow.</p><p>“While testing the water, lab results revealed that the total dissolved solids are 3 times higher than normal. Often, we get a foul smell in the water,” he added. “We’re unable to rely on groundwater, even while paying tax to the Corporation. We’re forced to purchase drinking water regularly in water cans and tanker lorries. Among residents who live near the railway road, we witness widespread skin diseases.”</p><p>Since 2009, a scheme to install drinking water supply and sewage infrastructure remains incomplete.</p><p>However, in the recently concluded assembly session, the TVK government announced a Rs 500 crore project for a 24/7 uninterrupted drinking water supply system in the Avadi Municipal Corporation.</p><p>Responding to the issue, an official in the Avadi Corporation said, “As the land belongs to the Railways Department, we’ll take further action regarding the re-routing. Also, the encroachments alongside the railways will be removed.”</p><p>Further, Rozario added, “The Railways department explained that the defence has given the land for use by railways; they do not have the sketch for the area. So he’s unable to move the encroachments.”</p><p>Attempts to reach a railway official for a comment proved futile.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai Citizen Connect: Footpath parking forces pedestrians onto road in Broadway</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-footpath-parking-forces-pedestrians-onto-road-in-broadway</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-footpath-parking-forces-pedestrians-onto-road-in-broadway#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b32a76d0-e5be-43ff-a77c-3ba202e8ceee</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T02:40:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai Citizen Connect,footpath,parking</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/eu6x09ql/Untitled-design-12.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Two-wheelers on the walkway leave little to no space for pedestrians on Prakasam Road.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Two-wheelers on the walkway leave little to no space for pedestrians on Prakasam Road.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/eu6x09ql/Untitled-design-12.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Pedestrians are being forced to walk on the stretch along Prakasam Road in Broadway as vehicles parked on the footpath leave little space for them, posing a safety risk, particularly during morning and evening peak hours.</p><p>The road has several commercial establishments, schools and residential areas, resulting in heavy movement of pedestrians and vehicles throughout the day. However, customers visiting shops and residents often park two-wheelers and cars on the footpath and along its edges, leaving little space for pedestrians.</p><p>A resident, Vicky, said the problem had existed for several years. "As vehicles are parked on the footpath, pedestrians are forced to walk on the road. The problem is worse during the morning and evening peak hours, making it difficult for children and senior citizens to walk safely along the roadside. Steps should be taken to remove the parked vehicles and ensure that the footpath remains accessible to the public," he said.</p><blockquote>Awareness is being created among motorists, and fines are also being imposed to prevent violations, noted a traffic police official</blockquote><p>Shopkeeper Balaji said the practice had become common as motorists followed others who parked at the same spot. </p><p>"When a few people start parking their vehicles at a particular spot, others also begin parking there. Some houses do not have enough space to park vehicles, forcing residents to park along the roadside. Some also park outside shops and houses, leaving pedestrians unable to use the footpath," he said.</p><p>A traffic police official said roadside parking had increased as the area was predominantly commercial. "Some families own more than one car and park them along the roadside, leading to traffic congestion. Awareness is being created among motorists to prevent violations. Fines are also imposed on those who park vehicles in violation of the rules, and appropriate action is being taken against repeat offenders," the official said.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>T Nagar families caught between patta and NOC in 20-year fight for electricity</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/t-nagar-families-caught-between-patta-and-noc-in-20-year-fight-for-electricity</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/t-nagar-families-caught-between-patta-and-noc-in-20-year-fight-for-electricity#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">242ee6f6-add7-46c8-9242-6baccabdfb04</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:15:07 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T02:15:07.774Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Arun Prasath</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371183</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>T Nagar,families,NOC,Patta</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/zfq81m8g/Untitled-design-10.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Residents of Thanakottiyammal Thottam and Muthureddy Thottam in T Nagar have been seeking electricity connections for over 20 years.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Residents of Thanakottiyammal Thottam and Muthureddy Thottam in T Nagar have been seeking electricity connections for over 20 years.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/zfq81m8g/Untitled-design-10.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: For more than 20 years, residents of Thanakottiyammal Thottam and Muthureddy Thottam in T Nagar have been seeking electricity connections, with the status of the land being poromboke leaving several houses without power.</p><p>This is despite the Tamil Nadu electricity regulations allowing connections to houses on poramboke land under certain conditions.</p><p>More than 230 families live in the two settlements, which have been occupied for several generations. The demand for electricity came to the fore again on September 9, when more than 50 residents staged a protest outside the substation on Bazullah Road.</p><p>“We’re asking for electricity for decades, They had provided water and sewer connections but they drew the line on electricity,” said Ravi, a resident from Muthureddy Thottam. “We’re tired of repeated protests.”</p><p>Residents have been caught in a dispute over the status of the land. When they approached the Revenue Department for an NOC, officials said that the land did not fall under their control and therefore, the NOC could not be issued. When the land was treated as private land, residents were asked to produce patta, they say.</p><p>Under Regulation 27 (12) of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code, electricity can be provided to houses on poramboke land with an NOC from the concerned government authority. Residents have to give an undertaking that the connection does not give them ownership and that they will vacate if the government requires it.</p><p>“The settlements date back several decades,” said CPM T Nagar Block secretary M Kumar. “Families are said to have been living there since 1935, having migrated from Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu and Tiruvannamalai.”</p><p>The land, which exceeded the ceiling limit, was acquired by the government under the Land Ceiling Act of 1956. It was not subsequently taken up for development and remained as it was. The Slum Clearance Board declared the area as recognised slum-clearance land in 1972, while a relaxation introduced in 1984 allowed former inhabitants to make claims over the land.</p><p>Water and sewer connections were also not provided initially, but these were subsequently secured following court proceedings. The electricity issue, however, persisted. A case was filed in 2003 and an order was obtained in 2004, following which electricity was provided to 40 families in February 2005.</p><p>Meanwhile, the State government is now planning to make it easier for some such houses to get electricity by allowing domestic connections on certain categories of poramboke land without an NOC. But the proposed provision is limited to houses with a built-up area of not more than 250 sq ft.</p><p>The proposed provision will not cover all categories of poramboke land. Water Course Poramboke, Meikkal, Mandaveli/Meichchal Tharai Poramboke, forest land, railway and other Union government land, patta land belonging to religious institutions and Temple Poramboke land have been excluded.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Four School students from same neighbourhood found dead in Thiruneermalai lake</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/four-school-students-from-same-neighbourhood-found-dead-in-thiruneermalai-lake</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/four-school-students-from-same-neighbourhood-found-dead-in-thiruneermalai-lake#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">515304e5-cd99-4734-bca0-8a98acb46c65</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 08:59:12 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T08:59:12.167Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>school students,Chromepet,Police,Thiruneermalai lake</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/0zpj8ze4/Untitled-design-23.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ (L-R) Pooja (13), Khushi (13), and K Devadarshan (12).]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ (L-R) Pooja (13), Khushi (13), and K Devadarshan (12).]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/0zpj8ze4/Untitled-design-23.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Four schoolchildren - two boys and two girls from the same neighbourhood who went missing from their homes in Chromepet since Saturday (October 3) afternoon were found dead in the Thiruneermalai lake on Sunday (October 4).</p><figure><img alt="Yuvanesh (10)" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/8ntb66p8/Untitled-design-24.jpg" /><figcaption>Yuvanesh (10)</figcaption></figure><p>Police said the victims were from Lakshmipuram, Krishna Street, in Chromepet and were friends and neighbours.</p><p>The deceased children have been identified as K Devadarshan (12), D Yuvanesh (10), Pooja (13) and Khushi (13).

Currently, they use some US formula to determine the age of the foetus. We’ve developed an Indian babies’ formula.”</p><p>The India-specific model, Garbhini-GA2, was developed and externally validated using data from Indian pregnancies. Published research has shown that it significantly reduced errors in estimating gestational age compared with the widely used Hadlock formula. The technology was also externally validated using data from Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore.</p><p>Ravindran stated that the technology had produced “very good results” in work involving CMC Vellore and Faridabad, with the research papers already published. “The focus now is on translating the research into a deployable hospital technology,” he explained. “The technology is all ready. But other than the pilot, we have to figure out whether it can go into the scanning machines centrally in the projects. Researchers are also exploring further work with Army hospitals, as the structured setting could help generate additional evidence, though results from the proposed work were yet to emerge.”</p><p>Taking the technology into public health institutions, however, could pose practical challenges. Ravindran opined that the additional time required during ultrasound examinations would have to be considered, particularly in Ghs handling large patient volumes. “The main problem is the time bandwidth. They already spend something like 90 seconds and find it very stressful. So it is a challenge,” he pointed out.</p><p>The technology could eventually help improve gestational-age assessment, which is important in monitoring foetal growth and identifying pregnancies that may require closer attention. But wider implementation would depend on validation, workflow considerations and compatibility with existing ultrasound equipment. “By 2027-28, we should try to have something available,” Ravindran told this correspondent.</p><p>The foetal-age project is part of the Wadhwani school’s broader expansion into interdisciplinary AI research. Ravindran said that the school plans to strengthen its AI for Science work over the next 2-3 years, while continuing to improve its BTech programme in AI, which was designed from scratch rather than by adding a handful of AI courses to a conventional computer science curriculum.</p><p>The school is also working on an AI for Education initiative supported by the Union government. Multiple products are expected to be rolled out over the next year including AI tools that can allow teachers to interact with systems in Indian languages and obtain assistance with teaching, exercises and practice. “Some of the models are being designed to operate on mobile devices with limited dependence on cloud connectivity,” Ravindran explained. “IIT-M is also pursuing AI applications in healthcare through work involving its medical sciences and technology, biotechnology and biomedical engineering departments.”</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai friends turn shared love for baking into dessert venture Serh</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-friends-turn-shared-love-for-baking-into-dessert-venture-serh</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-friends-turn-shared-love-for-baking-into-dessert-venture-serh#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">af3f6dbe-6e2f-4e40-b970-ddad50abdf38</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:00:57 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T02:00:57.542Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Dharshini</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2502049</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Cookies,Cakes,cheesecakes</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/oktiqisq/Untitled-design-6.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Vritti Miranda and Avantica MP]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Vritti Miranda and Avantica MP]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/oktiqisq/Untitled-design-6.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> What began in a kitchen, with food being made for friends and family, has now turned into Serh, a new food venture by friends Vritti Miranda and Avantica MP. </p> <figure><img alt="(L-R) Old-school buttercream cake and New York cheesecake

with salted caramel</figcaption></figure><p>The duo is bringing together cookies, cheesecakes and cakes, with a menu built around familiar flavours, thoughtful combinations and a little nostalgia.</p><p>Serh, pronounced from the Tamil word serkkai, meaning to gather or join, is rooted in the duo’s shared love for food and the memories created around a dining table. </p><p>“Food has always been at the centre of both our families. The best memories happened around a table, especially during festivals and special occasions,” they say.</p> <figure><img alt="(L-R) Ruby ripple and golden hour" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-04/06oyi32r/Untitled-design-8.jpg" /><figcaption>(L-R) Ruby ripple and golden hour</figcaption></figure><p>Avantica, fondly known as Akku, has always baked and cooked for friends and family, never imagining she would sell her creations. “A few of us kept telling her she had to share it with more people. She finally agreed, on one condition: I’d handle the business, logistics and numbers, and she’d be free to do what she does best: create. That’s really how Serh was born,” says Vritti.</p><p>The cookie menu currently features The OG, Hella Nella, Dark AF, Campfire, Nuttin’ But Toffee, Periya Pista, Ruby Ripple and Golden Hour. The duo says they experimented with more than 60 flavour combinations before narrowing down the final selection.</p><p>We sampled The OG, Hella Nella, Ruby Ripple and Golden Hour, and each had its own character. The OG, the first cookie Akku made for Serh, is a classic chocolate chip cookie with crisp edges and a gooey centre. Hella Nella combines Nutella, hazelnut and dark chocolate, while Ruby Ripple pairs raspberry with white chocolate. The standout for us was Golden Hour, which brings together Biscoff, white chocolate and pecans. The pecans add a nutty edge that balances the sweetness of the Biscoff.</p> <p>The cheesecakes follow the New York style, with berry, salted caramel and Biscoff toppings. Getting the texture right took more than 10 trials, with the duo settling on a dense yet creamy cheesecake with a buttery biscuit crunch. Philadelphia cream cheese is used to achieve the desired richness.</p><p>Then comes the Old School cake, available in chocolate and raspberry-strawberry buttercream versions. We tried the chocolate variant, and it immediately brought back memories of school-time bakery cakes and birthday celebrations. Made with a soft yellow cake and semi-sweet chocolate buttercream, it has that familiar homemade quality while being less sweet than traditional versions.</p><p>For Serh, the idea is not to be restricted to just desserts. “We don’t really see ourselves as a home bakery or a dessert brand. We’re two friends who want to do food right and keep it simple, uncomplicated and delicious,” says Vritti.</p><p>Serh launched at The Vizha Pop-up by Madras Finds on September 5 and 6, selling out on both days. Customer feedback has since led to the addition of Dark AF, a 70 per cent dark chocolate and sea salt cookie.</p><p>The duo is currently setting up its cloud kitchen in Chetpet and operates on a pre-order basis, with deliveries on Fridays and Saturdays for now. Once the kitchen is fully functional, they plan to deliver throughout the week. The menu will also gradually expand into savoury offerings.</p> ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: &apos;Kids, senior citizen unsafe with over 100 stray dogs on premises’</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-kids-senior-citizen-unsafe-with-over-100-canines-on-premises</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-kids-senior-citizen-unsafe-with-over-100-canines-on-premises#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">0ac7d33e-9ae7-4e78-963d-2d3cc09c0f57</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Vasudevan S</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371197</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>stray dogs,CPWD,unsafe</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/uelt3fin/1-5.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Stray dogs]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Stray dogs]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/uelt3fin/1-5.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Around 600 families living in the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) quarters near Jawaharlal Nehru Road in Tirumangalam, West Anna Nagar, are anxious over the growing number of stray dogs in the residential complex.</p><p>Residents said that more than 100 dogs roamed the streets, parks and playgrounds inside the quarters, often moving in groups in the morning and evening.</p><p>“Many of these dogs follow children, senior citizens and pedestrians, making it difficult for residents to move around safely,” said Siva Anandan, a resident. “A large number of stray dogs are roaming near Block 64. When my son comes out, they chase him. He is now scared to come out alone. Even when we carry food items, more than five dogs follow us, which is very frightening.”</p><p>Another resident, Kannan, said that the number of stray dogs had increased considerably over the past decade. “Some dogs are aggressive; so we take great pains to move slowly and cautiously. Food delivery workers are also followed by the dogs, while some sleep in front of houses. We fear the situation could lead to attacks if no action is taken,” he said.</p><p>CPWD Residents Welfare Association president Ponmala Selvin attributed the increase partly to the removal of the security guard at the entrance during pipeline-laying work. Though a guard was later posted inside the campus, the problem persisted.</p><p>“Children are unable to play safely in the parks and senior citizens are forced to carry sticks while walking on the streets. A girl was admitted to hospital after being bitten by a stray dog three years ago,” Selvin said.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/3a0c2knj/CPWD-quarters-stray-dogs2.jpg" /></figure><p>Residents also alleged that some dog lovers regularly fed them inside the campus, encouraging them to remain there. They urged the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) to take immediate steps to address the issue and ensure the safety of residents.</p><p>A senior GCC official said that the issue would be inspected and appropriate action taken. “A Corporation team will be sent to the spot to catch the stray dogs and provide vaccinations. Since relocating the dogs is not possible, action will be taken as per the rules,” the official said.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Young artists brings nature&apos;s patterns to international exhibition at Chennai&apos;s DakshinaChitra</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/young-artists-brings-natures-patterns-to-international-exhibition-at-chennais-dakshinachitra</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/young-artists-brings-natures-patterns-to-international-exhibition-at-chennais-dakshinachitra#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b9214994-738c-4dbe-80de-e7c3d7e51857</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-04T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Merin James</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371182</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Artists,DakshinaChitra,Chennai,Biodiversity</media:keywords><media:content height="1024" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/b1jdy4i8/A-child-explaining-her-work-during-the-inauguration.jpeg" width="768"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ A child explaining her work during the inauguration]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ A child explaining her work during the inauguration]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/b1jdy4i8/A-child-explaining-her-work-during-the-inauguration.jpeg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> What began as a biodiversity walk with children has evolved into Imago-1, an international exhibition featuring young artists between the ages of nine and 20. Curated by Diana R, founder of Diana’s Art Room Studios and artist and sculptor M Vennimalai, the exhibition explores ‘Patterns in Nature’ through paintings, installations, woodwork, leather works and other mediums.</p> <p>The three-month project began when the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust’s Nature Education and Conservation division, Nature Ed, approached Diana with a proposal for a biodiversity walk. Instead of treating it as a one-day field trip, Diana wanted the children to take what they observed back to the studio and develop it into an exhibition.</p><p>“We went on a biodiversity walk with the Nature Ed team. The children walked into the Irular settlement across the bank, and we saw tessellated scales on snake skin, ladybugs, turtle shells, red chameleon, birds, insects and many more things. The children started observing the patterns in nature. We brought those observations back into the art studio and took the learning further,” says Diana.</p><p>The children then explored ideas such as MC Escher’s tessellations, fractals, mathematical patterns in art, bioluminescent ecosystems, conservation and wildlife. What started as an observation exercise gradually became a deeper exploration of how patterns occur in the natural world.</p><figure><img alt="Diana" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/y0v1frz8/Diana.jpeg" /><figcaption>Diana</figcaption></figure><p>“It became a very big learning experience for the children and me. Rather than asking the children to reproduce what they had seen, I encouraged them to interpret the ideas that resonated with them. The result was a collection of works that reflect their individual observations and approaches,” adds the curator.</p><p>One student collected real termite wings and made an installation. She spent 30 hours working on it, says Diana. The exhibition brings together works in different mediums, textures and forms, including canvas, installations, wood and leather. Around 90 per cent of the works are by students of Diana’s Art Room in Adyar, while the remaining works are by young artists who responded to an international open call. The call received entries from Singapore and Russia, as well as different parts of Tamil Nadu.</p><p>For Diana, the process was as important as the final exhibition. “I channelled the children to draft something that resonated with them. They came up with their own works and went deeper into the topic,” she says.</p><figure><img alt="From the exhibition" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/xeto1w0v/From-the-exhibition.jpeg" /><figcaption>From the exhibition</figcaption></figure><p>Imago-1 focuses on patterns and structures found across the natural world, from the symmetry of animals and flowers to spirals, fractals and tessellations. The exhibition is divided into four zones, including Symmetry &amp; Reflection, Spirals &amp; Growth and Tessellations &amp; Packing, encouraging visitors to observe nature through both artistic and scientific perspectives.</p><p>Diana says the project also changed the way she looked at the subject. “When you work with children, you realise that they observe things that we sometimes overlook. They ask questions and take an idea somewhere you may not have expected. So, I was also learning along with them.”</p><p>The exhibition also aims to make the experience accessible to young visitors from different backgrounds, including neurodivergent learners, while encouraging curiosity, observation and creative expression.</p><p>For Diana, IMAGO-1 marks her 25th art curation after 24 years of working in the arts. “I wanted to create a space where children and young artists could be taken seriously as artists and could present their ideas in their own way,” she says. IMAGO-1 is on view until October 12 at Kadambari Art Gallery, DakshinaChitra.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Indian Bank executive leaps from HQ building in Parry&apos;s

Members of the DAM Association report that for over a year, a pack of 7-8 dogs from neighbouring Abraham and Mastan Gori Streets has been gathering at the entrance of Daniel Street around midnight.</p><p>The howling and aggressive behaviour severely disrupt residents’ sleep and leave pedestrians, delivery personnel, and locals terrified.</p><p>DAM Association founder R Parthasarathy said that the menace has increased. “Two months ago, a child was bitten in the street and required medical treatment. In the recent months, the stray dogs have killed 4 cats and a hen in the neighbourhood,” he lamented. “These dogs frequently jump compound walls, with one recently jumping onto my parked car; now I stay awake from midnight to 5 am to guard the pets.”</p><p>R Chandra, a resident of Daniel Street, recounted an incident where three dogs entered her property and attacked her caged pet cat, damaging items spread in the area. Multiple complaints to the 1913 civic helpline resulted in workers capturing the dogs for rabies vaccination and returning them shortly after.</p><p>“Vaccination does not curb their aggressive behaviour, but officials claim legal limitations prevent further action,” added Parthasarathy.</p><p>Following Supreme Court directives instructing State governments to shelter aggressive and rabies-affected stray dogs, the GCC began constructing two specialised quarantine facilities in Manali and Perungudi, each designed to house 250 dogs. The construction of these shelters has remained incomplete over a year later.</p><p>According to GCC, it opened a special quarantine facility in May at Ma Po Si Nagar in Perungudi, which can house 100 dogs with rabies and biting tendencies. With the target of vaccinating 2 lakh stray dogs, GCC began a mass vaccination drive in August. Till September 20, vaccinations have been administered to 86,489 stray dogs across 8 zones.</p><p>Responding to the issue, GCC Veterinary Officer Kamal Hussain said that officials have been told to catch ferocious dogs on the street and keep them in observation. “Within a week, a quarantine centre with a full capacity of 250 dogs at Manali zone will be inaugurated. In the next month, a centre at Perungudi will be opened with the same capacity,” he explained.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Parked vehicles block access to bus stops near Thambu street in Georgetown

Sameeran said the civic body was also preparing for the possibility of extreme rainfall of 20 to 30 cm in a single day due to cloudbursts, depressions or cyclones.</p><p>Inspecting the double-vent stormwater drain project at Tidel Park in Taramani, Sameeran said the project would improve flood mitigation in the IIT Madras campus, spread over nearly 610 acres, and the adjoining Guindy National Park, including the Lok Bhavan premises.</p><p>The GCC had taken up the project based on past incidents and a technical committee's recommendations. The double-vent cut-and-cover drain extends 660 metres from its starting point to the South Buckingham Canal through the Open Space Reservation (OSR) area of Tidel Park and will discharge stormwater into the canal.</p><p>The project has been divided into two packages. Package 1 comprises a 330-metre cut-and-cover drain, of which work on 40 metres is expected to be finished within 10 days.</p><p>Package 2 involves a complex 90-metre stretch across OMR near the CMRL underground station. It includes a 45-metre CMRL segment and night-time work on OMR, which is awaiting police clearance. The package is expected to be completed within 20 days.</p><p>Across the city, short-term and medium-term flood mitigation works are nearing completion. Of the 1,600 km of stormwater drains, 1,400 km have been desilted and works on 200 km are expected to be completed in a week. The second round of cleaning is under way across all 1.1 lakh silt catch pits.</p><p>The GCC has deployed heavy machinery, including robotic excavators and amphibious machines, to clear critical culverts along Radial Road, railway lines and the Virugambakkam Canal, which is to be completed by October 15.</p> <p>In coordination with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), around 70 per cent of temporary access structures and boulders obstructing the Cooum have been removed. Complete removal is targeted by mid-October.</p><p>The civic body has prepared 215 relief centres and 111 community kitchens and stocked emergency kits with essential supplies, including rice, milk powder and sanitary napkins. More than 5,200 volunteers have registered through the Namma Chennai app to assist with relief and medical operations.</p><p>As part of measures to improve road safety, the GCC has banned new road cuts except for emergency repairs.

With little space left for pedestrians, many are forced to walk on the carriageway, raising safety concerns.</p><p>Encroachments are particularly visible along the stretch from the Medavakkam Road junction to Konnur High Road. Food shops and two-wheeler repair workshops have occupied portions of the footpaths, while two-wheelers are parked on the pavements at several locations. Residents said pedestrians were often forced to walk along the roadside amid continuous vehicular movement.</p><p>"It becomes particularly difficult when vehicles are moving continuously, and there is also a risk of accidents. The encroachments should be removed, and the footpaths should be monitored regularly to ensure they remain accessible to the public," said resident Malar.</p><blockquote>Once new proposals to identify areas as vending zones and non-vending zones are approved, encroachments on walkways would be permanently removed</blockquote><p>However, street vendors said eviction drives affected their livelihood. "I run a small shop in the area and depend on the income from it to support my family. As I do not have a separate place to set up a shop, I run my business wherever space is available. My daily income is an important source for meeting my family's everyday expenses. When the Corporation removes the encroachments, our livelihood is affected. Proper space should be provided for vendors to carry out their business without affecting their livelihood," said street vendor Manikandan.</p><p>A Corporation official said encroachments were being removed periodically. The last eviction drive was carried out three months before the elections. However, vendors returned to the same locations and set up shops within a week of being removed, the official said.</p><p>Members of street vendors' associations have been seeking permission to operate from designated locations, citing their livelihood needs.</p><p>New proposals to identify areas as Vending Zones and Non-Vending Zones are currently under consideration. A permanent solution to the encroachment issue is expected only after the proposal is approved, the official added.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Over 1,500 homes in Srinivasapuram TNUHDB falling apart with collapsed ceilings, cracked walls</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/over-1500-homes-in-srinivasapuram-tnuhdb-falling-apart-with-collapsed-ceilings-cracked-walls</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/over-1500-homes-in-srinivasapuram-tnuhdb-falling-apart-with-collapsed-ceilings-cracked-walls#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ce6b4311-0d13-4832-95bf-46b3b7fa13d0</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 02:15:08 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T02:15:08.335Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Vasudevan S</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371197</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>residents,Pattinapakkam,TNUHDB,Cracked walls</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/zq6gq0zl/Untitled-Design-48.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Collapsed celings, cracked walls and water seepage threaten safety of thousands of Pattinapakkam residents.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Collapsed celings, cracked walls and water seepage threaten safety of thousands of Pattinapakkam residents.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/zq6gq0zl/Untitled-Design-48.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Residents of Srinivasapuram in Pattinapakkam are living in fear as several Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB) tenements are in a damaged condition.

However, they said there has been a delay in shifting residents from the damaged buildings.</p><p>The ceilings, balconies and staircases of several houses have been damaged. Residents are afraid to stay inside their homes and use common areas. They have urged the authorities to provide alternative houses before the damaged structures deteriorate further during the rainy season and pose a risk to residents.</p><p>A resident, Usharani, said, “It’s frightening to live in the house. Parts of the house, both inside and outside, could collapse at any time. The ceiling inside is also damaged and broken. We’re scared even while sleeping and eating. The staircases and balconies, which are used for safety and access, are also damaged. We’re living in fear every day.”</p><p>Another resident, Selvam, said, “We’ve been living in this area with our family for the past 40 years. When our children were studying at home, a portion of the building collapsed near them. Since then, we have been afraid to stay inside the house. As the rainy season has started, the damaged buildings could become weaker and collapse. Alternative houses should be provided before the monsoon becomes more intense.”</p><p>TNUHDB officials said that there are 1,536 houses in Srinivasapuram. Of the 224 families identified for shifting to Loop Road, 197 have already been shifted, while the process is under way for the remaining families. More than 1,000 families have been issued enumeration forms.</p><p>However, the forms have not been returned, and the shifting process has been delayed due to a lack of consensus among residents. As per the scheme guidelines, land cannot be provided separately and houses have to be constructed and allotted to beneficiaries. The Chief Engineer is visit the area tomorrow, officials said.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Membership to Anna Centenary Library costly for outstation candidates</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/membership-to-anna-centenary-library-costly-for-outstation-candidates</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/membership-to-anna-centenary-library-costly-for-outstation-candidates#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">9875b8ce-a544-4d92-b1b1-26156ea6bd44</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 02:03:41 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T02:03:41.681Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>TL Selva Suriyan</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371242</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Anna Centenary Library,membership</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/h9zhwisb/Untitled-Design-46.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna Centenary Library]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna Centenary Library]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/h9zhwisb/Untitled-Design-46.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Government exam aspirants and readers from districts outside Chennai are facing difficulties in obtaining membership at the Anna Centenary Library due to the existing requirement for address attestation by a Notary Public, prompting students to seek a simpler Aadhaar-based registration process.</p><p>The Anna Centenary Library, one of the city’s major public knowledge hubs, has become a popular destination for competitive examination aspirants, research scholars and readers seeking a conducive environment for reading and self earning.</p><p>However, readers from other districts said that the membership procedure has become a hurdle, particularly for those without a Chennai address proof. Those having a regional address at Chennai or Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu (KTCC) can obtain library membership by submitting Aadhaar or other government issued identity documents carrying their address.</p><p>But, readers from other districts are required to provide an ‘address accreditation’ certificate attested by a Notary Public for membership. Raja, a library member from a Delta district, said the annual membership fee was only Rs 200, but obtaining the required address attestation had cost him Rs 500. “Some people have reportedly paid around Rs 2,000 to get the address certificate from a Notary Public. It is unreasonable to spend several times the annual membership fee merely to complete the address verification process,” he lamented.</p><p>Government exam aspirant Kayalvizhi said that the Anna Centenary Library had become a major support system for aspirants from across Tamil Nadu.</p><p>“The library is a boon for those of us preparing for competitive exams. Aspirants from different parts of the State come here to prepare for various exams. The library also provides a good ecosystem where we can meet senior aspirants and learn from their experiences,” she said.</p><p>Kayalvizhi pointed out that many aspirants from other districts stay in hostels, paying guest accommodation or bachelor rooms in and around Chennai, and therefore do not possess a local address proof. “I stay in a hostel in Tambaram. Without library membership, I cannot access the book lending facility. If I need a book for my preparation, I have to travel to the library every day just to read it,” she said.</p><p>Aspirants have urged the library administration to simplify the procedure and allow readers from all districts to obtain membership using Aadhaar or any other valid government issued identity document, similar to the procedure followed for Chennai-based applicants.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Only 50% works completed: Shifting of power cables delays widening of Sardar Patel Road</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/only-50-works-completed-shifting-of-power-cables-delays-widening-of-sardar-patel-road</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/only-50-works-completed-shifting-of-power-cables-delays-widening-of-sardar-patel-road#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">98e52f23-6919-418d-8219-2ae8b06180aa</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Prithiv Raj Anbu</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371171</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>State Highways Department,Sardar Patel Road,Power cables</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/cl2hee1i/1-11.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Construction materials kept along the roadside]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Construction materials kept along the roadside]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/cl2hee1i/1-11.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The State Highways Department’s Rs 48-crore project to widen Sardar Patel Road from Highway Research Station to Anna University has reached 50% completion, with the shifting of high-tension cables emerging as a key reason for the delay.</p><p>The 1.85-km widening project, which commenced in December 2025 with a 12-month completion deadline, has been delayed by about two months due to the pending shifting of HT cables along the stretch.</p><p>Officials said that the remaining works could be completed within two months once the cables are shifted. “Since the beginning of the work, progress was steady until the West Asia conflict. Rising bitumen prices and a lack of support from Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) in shifting the power cables have slowed down progress,” said a senior official at the State Highways department.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/78ep0u3e/Sardar-Patel-Road-widening1.jpeg" /></figure><p>The widening work between Anna University and Madhya Kailash has been completed.

Officials said that the structures would be cleared in the coming days, allowing roadwork in the stretch to resume.</p><p>“After the cable-shifting work is finished, we’ll take up the alignment of the median along with the lights. We’re working to complete the project as early as possible,” the official said.</p><p>A TNPDCL official told DT Next that the shifting of the Ring Main Unit (RMU) is scheduled for Saturday. “The shifting will be taken up tomorrow and the work will be completed in 1-2 days,” the official said.</p><p>Residents, however, expressed concern over the slow progress on the arterial road, which serves several important institutions and landmarks, including educational institutions, Guindy National Park, Gandhi Mandapam, the Kamarajar Memorial and Lok Bhavan. “The progress is barely noticeable, yet hundreds of vehicles pass through here during peak hours. In the morning and evening, traffic from Rajiv Gandhi Salai piles up from the IIT Madras campus to the intersection of Gandhi Mandapam Road and Sardar Patel Road. With the monsoon around the corner, we urge officials to complete the work on time,” said Pushpa Raj, a resident of West Canal Bank Road in Kotturpuram.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Broken doors, lack of water, foul odour greet passengers at the toilets in Chennai Central station</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/broken-doors-lack-of-water-foul-odour-greet-passengers-at-the-toilets-in-chennai-central-station</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/broken-doors-lack-of-water-foul-odour-greet-passengers-at-the-toilets-in-chennai-central-station#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">06baee5d-3e56-4e73-a68f-63419342a755</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai Central Station,foul odour,Broken doors</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/mo2yesui/1-22.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Railway toilet]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Railway toilet]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/mo2yesui/1-22.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Passengers are facing difficulties using the free toilets located between platforms 12 and 16 at the suburban terminal at Moore Market Complex, near Dr MGR Chennai Central Railway Station, as they are not being properly maintained.</p><p>A large number of passengers travel daily from this suburban terminal, one of Chennai’s major railway transport hubs, to various suburban destinations, including Gummidipoondi, Arakkonam and Tiruvallur.</p><p>Free toilets provided for passengers between platforms 12 and 16 are not being properly maintained, and both lack adequate water facilities.

The petition highlights that housing communities operate strictly on a non-profit, cost-recovery basis, collecting funds solely to pay for shared essential services such as security, water, common-area electricity, and lift maintenance. While direct payments to power and water utilities already qualify for the flat Rs 5 MDR rate, aggregating these payments through an RWA penalises citizens with a 0.4% fee.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/national/sc-notice-to-centre-others-on-plea-against-imposition-of-mdr-on-upi-payments-above-rs-2000">SC refuses to stay MDR on UPI payments above Rs 2,000; issues notice to Centre</a></aside><p>On a standard maintenance bill of Rs 10,000, this extracts Rs 40 per flat, eight times the utility rate, whereas on quarterly bills of Rs 25,000, the fee jumps to Rs 100 per transaction. This charge will ultimately be passed back to residents as higher maintenance costs, violating the core principle that consumers should not bear UPI charges.</p><p>“Applying a commercial 0.4% MDR on housing society maintenance is fundamentally irrational. RWAs do not retain trade margins or earn profits, warning that imposing commercial charges will force honorary, voluntary resident committees back to physical cheques, cash collections, and manual bank transfers,” stated Harsha Koda, co-founder of FOMRRA. “This threatens years of hard-won digital adoption, increases administrative chaos and disrupts statutory audits.”</p><p>The coalition also criticised broader regulatory misunderstandings, such as the 18% GST on maintenance fees above Rs 7,500, urging the government to stop treating non-profit communities as commercial businesses. Key demands include a dedicated Merchant Category Code (MCC) for registered RWAs and an immediate executive notification of the flat Rs 5 UPI rate before October 15.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: SI, constable suspended for taking Rs 10,000 bribe to release stolen bike</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-si-constable-suspended-for-taking-rs-10000-bribe-to-release-stolen-bike</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-si-constable-suspended-for-taking-rs-10000-bribe-to-release-stolen-bike#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6fa8145e-17b5-42c3-9e55-311863ccf7af</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:43:32 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-02T10:43:32.460Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Suspended,Constable,bribe,sub-inspector</media:keywords><media:content height="360" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-25/p8bw7q88/dt-next2026-05-1721b8a77jSuspend.avif" width="640"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representataive image for suspended]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Suspended]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-25/p8bw7q88/dt-next2026-05-1721b8a77jSuspend.avif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A sub-inspector and a constable attached to the North Beach police station in Chennai, who allegedly accepted a Rs 10,000 <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/bribe">bribe </a>to release a stolen two-wheeler, were placed under <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/suspension">suspension </a>based on Commissioner A Amalraj’s direction.</p><p>According to a complaint received by the Greater Chennai Police’s Internal Vigilance Cell (IVC), the complainant, a native of Sivaganga, was working in Tirupur when his two-wheeler was stolen.

Its innovations have earned it two National Awards, a Guinness World Record and several patents.</p><p>Among the highlights at the showcase is Ragamala, a silk saree that brings together music, art and weaving. Its pallu recreates eight Ragamala paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries, including Todi, Vasantha and Gauri Ragini, each representing the mood of its corresponding raga.</p><p>Kalpavruksham draws inspiration from the mythical Tree of Life. Its pallu features a handwoven representation of the tree with sprawling branches, complemented by floral zari buttas.</p><p>The Japanese Collection explores the country’s art and craft traditions through silk. Sashiko-Kasuti Reversible combines Kasuti embroidery from Karnataka with Japanese Sashiko embroidery, with a different colour palette on either side.</p><p>Japanese Indigo Naturals uses natural indigo dyeing to depict kimono-clad women and traditional Japanese motifs, while Woodblock Lino recreates Kawase Hasui’s Shiba Benten Ike on its pallu, drawing from Japanese woodblock art.</p><p>The collection also revisits traditional Indian motifs. Rettai Kili draws on the twin-parakeet motif popular in Tamil weaving and combines it with motifs such as kuyilkannu, vanki, mayil and yaanai.</p><p>Poo Thoranam translates the traditional floral decoration into a korvai saree, while Poo Gopuram takes inspiration from the silhouette of a temple gopuram and reimagines it through floral motifs.</p><p>Several sarees explore variations of the classic Madras kattam. Madras Kattam, Golden Pearl Kattam, Koorai Kattam and Chevvandhi Kattam reinterpret traditional checks with zari, silk and motifs rooted in Tamil weaving.</p><p>Other designs include Golden Kagome, inspired by Japanese lattice and floral motifs; Japanese Bijinga, based on Edo-period depictions of beautiful women; Muppagam Naturals, naturally dyed using ingredients including myrobalan, indigo, lac and sappan wood; and Kili Kodi Lino, which combines the lightness of Lino weave with traditional vine motifs.</p><p>Through Weaves &amp; Wonders ‘26, RmKV continues its exploration of innovation while staying connected to the techniques and visual language of Indian handloom.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
