Priya, at the monthly council meeting on Friday, said that Vijay had disrespected Stalin with his references to MISA imprisonment during the Emergency. She said such conduct was unbecoming of the office of the Chief Minister.

Recalling the state’s political history, Priya opined that the dignity associated with the office had been upheld by successive governments headed by erstwhile CMs like Omandur Ramasamy Reddiar, C Rajagopalachari, K Kamaraj, M Bhaktavatsalam, CN Annadurai, M Karunanidhi, MG Ramachandran, J Jayalalithaa, O Panneerselvam, Edappadi K Palaniswami and MK Stalin. She also claimed that Left leaders, political figures and senior journalists had criticised Vijay’s conduct in the Assembly, and praised Opposition leader Udhayanidhi for repeatedly cornering TVK in debates, while ministers responded by raising unrelated issues.

Listing grievances against the TVK government during its first four months, Priya cited crime and law-and-order issues, price rise and restrictions on Aavin milk supplies. She alleged that power interruptions had affected households, industries, hospitals and students, with officials attributing the disruptions to weather conditions.

On the scrapping of the proposed Parandur airport, Priya alleged that the government was looking for alternative sites while moving to privatise Meenambakkam airport and blaming the Opposition for the issue. She said that the DMK’s “steadfastness” had helped keep TN among the leading states in the country.

“We will start collecting fines from next week,” GCC veterinary officer Kamal Hussain said. The corporation had initially proposed a Rs 25,000 fine, but the standing committees on public health and taxation and finance recommended reducing it to Rs 10,000.

The GCC has been receiving complaints about stray dogs in the city. According to the corporation data, 15,477 complaints related to stray dogs were received in the first six months of 2026. During the same period, the corporation caught 26,498 dogs as part of its animal birth control programme. As of July 30, the GCC issued licences to 78,238 pet owners.

If a licensed dog or cat is found abandoned on a road or in a public place, civic officials can scan its microchip and trace its registered owner. The fine will be collected through the corporation's POS machines by zonal veterinary officers, sanitary officers or health inspectors. The GCC will also issue an awareness notice to pet owners about the punitive measure.

Microchipping has already been made mandatory to help ensure annual anti-rabies vaccination and prevent pet abandonment. The microchip carries details such as the owner's name and address and vaccination records.

The maintenance work will be carried out between 12.15 am and 2.45 am from Sunday until October 4, Southern Railway's Chennai Division said.

The Chennai Beach–Tambaram electric train scheduled to depart at 11.59 pm will be cancelled from Saturday until October 3. Tambaram–Chennai Beach electric train scheduled to depart at 8.45 pm will be cancelled on September 26, 28, 29 and 30, and October 1, 2 and 3. Tambaram–Chennai Beach electric train scheduled to depart at 11.40 pm will be cancelled on Sunday.

According to the complaint lodged by Haja Najimudeen (42) of Haji Street, Alandur, who is in the business of buying and selling used cars, the accused, Karthikeyan of Adambakkam, has been his customer for the past three years.

Karthikeyan agreed to buy a BMW from him for Rs 10 lakh and paid Rs 1 lakh as advance, following which Najimudeen handed over the car to him near the Kathipara flyover in Guindy on June 26.

Though he promised to pay the remaining Rs 9 lakh later, Karthikeyan allegedly failed to pay the balance despite repeated demands, Najimudeen claimed. He then tracked the location of the car using a mobile application and went to Arani, where he found that Karthikeyan had pledged the car with a man named Vignesh for Rs 5 lakh.

Based on Najimudeen's complaint, the crime wing of the St Thomas Mount police registered a case under cheating and other relevant sections, and launched an investigation.

A police team led by the crime wing inspector arrested Karthikeyan. The car was recovered from Arani and two mobile phones allegedly used in the offence were seized.

Officials said Karthikeyan already had four cheating cases against him. He was produced before a court on Thursday and remanded in judicial custody.

This arrangement aims to assist consumers in clearing their water and sewerage taxes, charges, and pending arrears for the first half of the 2026–27 financial year before September 30. CMWSSB said that consumers can also make payments online using credit/debit cards or net banking via https://bnc.chennaimetrowater.in/#/public/cus-login.

Alternative payment methods include UPI, QR codes, cheques, demand drafts, and e-Sevai centres. The board urges residents to settle their dues promptly to avoid surcharge fees.

“Who authorised the shifting of Ambedkar’s portrait from its earlier position? Who gave the authority to remove it from where it was? Why did you remove it?” asked Councillor Gopinath, objecting to the change.

Deputy Mayor M Magesh Kumaar defended the present arrangement, pointing out that the hall now had the portraits of the former Chief Minister, the current Chief Minister, Ambedkar and Thiruvalluvar. Gopinath rejected the explanation.

The exchange quickly escalated with DMK councillors trying to silence the VCK members. It then turned to the history of Ambedkar’s portrait in the civic body. Mayor Priya said that despite Ripon Building’s historic significance, Ambedkar’s portrait had not been placed inside the council hall for years.

“Only after the DMK came to power was the environment created to place his portrait in this council hall,” she said. “Ambedkar belongs to the whole of India. Ambedkar created the Constitution for all of India.”

The latest dispute follows the controversy over portraits that surfaced at the July council meeting, the first after a three-month gap. A substantial part of that meeting had been devoted to the placement of former CM Stalin’s portrait in government offices following the change in government. It was during the same period that the shifting of Ambedkar’s portrait in the council hall became an issue.

The portrait, which had earlier been beside the Mayor’s seat, was moved to the opposite side of the hall to make space for Stalin’s portrait.

IIT Madras will provide access to its research, innovation and incubation ecosystem to help entrepreneurs develop, test and scale promising energy technologies.

The proposal was made by Bhagyaraj's wife, Poornima Bhagyaraj, that the street be renamed in his memory. Earlier, the School Education, Tamil Development and Information Minister A Rajmohan asked the Corporation to take necessary action to rename the street where Bhagyaraj's family continues to reside, citing his contribution and place in the cultural history of Tamil Nadu.

The Corporation council has given its post-facto approval and it awaits final nod from the State government.

The arrested were identified as Thilagavathi, 47, vice-president of the women’s wing of the South Chennai West district Congress, and her husband Sivakumar, 51. They were arrested on Thursday and remanded in judicial custody.

According to the police, the case was registered at Royapuram police station under Sections 120(B) and 420 of the IPC.

The complainant, Mohammed Farooq, 49, vice-president of the North Chennai district Congress, alleged that the couple approached him in October 2024 seeking financial assistance, claiming that their daughter had secured a medical college seat and they needed money for her admission.

The couple also allegedly told Farooq that they owned a property in Choolaimedu, which had been mortgaged for Rs 8 lakh with East West Benefit Fund, and sought financial assistance to redeem it. They allegedly promised to repay the principal along with interest after recovering and selling the property.

Police said Farooq transferred Rs 18 lakh to the couple through RTGS on October 3, 2024. When he sought a cheque or property documents as security, the couple allegedly asked for another Rs 12 lakh, claiming they needed the money for their daughter's education.

Farooq allegedly arranged Rs 8 lakh as a loan from a friend and gave it to them on October 21, 2024, after informing them that he could arrange only Rs 4 lakh from the sale of his wife's jewellery.

When Farooq later sought execution of the sale deed, the couple allegedly kept postponing it. During a visit to the property in June 2025, he allegedly learnt that it had been mortgaged with a private bank for Rs 16 lakh and that a related case was pending before the 10th Additional Sessions Court.

Farooq subsequently approached the Joint Commissioner of Police, North Zone, following which a case was registered and an investigation launched.

Inspector of the Royapuram police station arrested the two suspects on Thursday and produced them before a court, which remanded them in judicial custody.

The incident occurred around 9.30 pm when Anthony Augustine (33), a sales manager with Asian Pharma International in West Tambaram, was returning home on his two-wheeler after collecting payments from medicine distributors.

According to the police, Augustine had collected Rs 24,00,760 and was carrying the cash in a black bag kept in the front portion of his two-wheeler. He was allegedly followed by six men travelling on three two-wheelers.

Near Ambika Appalam signal, the suspects allegedly rammed their vehicles into Augustine's two-wheeler, causing him to fall. One of the suspects then allegedly brandished a knife and threatened him. Fearing for his safety, the victim ran from the spot.

The suspects allegedly took the black bag containing the cash and fled from the scene.

Augustine, who has been working with the company for the past five years, later approached the Adyar police and lodged a complaint around 10.30 pm.

Officials said the gang members were aged between 25 and 30, and used two motorcycles and a scooter. The police are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the suspects and trace their vehicles.

A case has been registered and further investigation is under way.

The deceased was identified as A Sathish of Perumal Kovil Street, Nerkundram. The incident occurred at his house around 10 pm on Thursday.

According to police, Sathish and the accused were involved in a 2022 assault case registered at Koyambedu police station. The accused had allegedly attacked Sathish in 2022, following which a case was registered under Section 307 of the IPC. The case is pending before the Second Additional Sessions Court.

Police said Sathish had allegedly demanded Rs 6 lakh from the accused to settle the case. On Thursday night, the accused allegedly went to Sathish's house to discuss the issue. An argument reportedly broke out during the discussion.

Police said Manda Dinesh alias Dinesh (22), Suresh alias Pettai Suresh (21), Surya (22), Vignesh alias Madavikki (21) and another person identified as Aakash allegedly attacked Sathish with wooden logs and stones, leaving him dead.

Police said Dinesh subsequently contacted the Koyambedu deputy commissioner’s special team and informed them about the incident. A police team later picked up 3 of the suspects ( Dinesh, Suresh and Surya) and brought them to the station. Police are searching for Vignesh and Aakash.

Police records show that the deceased and several of the suspects have previous criminal cases registered against them, including cases involving murder, robbery, assault and offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

Confirming this, Commissioner GS Sameeran said the detailed project reports (DPRs) for the Rs 150-crore work have been submitted to the State government for administrative sanction to take up the announcement that Chief Minister Vijay, who handles the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, made during the budget session.

“Overall, the project commits Rs 300 crore to upgrade 360 km of roads across Chennai in 2026–27. For the Phase 1 DPRs, project estimates are actively under review by Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited (Tufidco) to release loan funding and clear final approvals,” said Commissioner Sameeran.

“Tenders are expected to be floated shortly, with the corporation aiming to complete all physical road improvement works before

the onset of the upcoming northeast monsoon,” he added.

“The initial phase covers 66 critical bus route roads spanning 45.13 km and 714 interior roads with a total length of 114.87 km across zones,” a senior civic body official told DT Next.

According to the official, the key stretches that would be taken up in the first phase are Nelson Manickam Road, Sterling Road, Velachery Main Road, Indira Nagar 1st and 3rd Avenues, Ashok Nagar 10th Avenue, Vijayaraghava Road, Ormes Road, Madanakuppam Road, East Kalmandapam Road, and Arunachalam Street.

Once the works are taken up, it would be the first re-laying of these stretches in two years.

Welcoming the move, KS Aravind Janakiraman, who regularly uses Nelson Manickam Road to reach his office, said the stretch is in poor condition from Sobhan Babu statue at Mehta Nagar junction to Poonamallee High Road junction, particularly near MGM Hospital, and also the Nungambakkam subway. This slows down vehicle movement on the road and causes severe traffic congestion during peak hours, he complained.

The city corporation maintains 488 bus route roads with a total length of 418.56 km and 35,978 interior roads spanning for 5,653.89 km. The Bus Route Roads Department of the civic body handles road formation, junction improvements, and footpath construction.

With video clips and images shared in television media and on social media on Thursday, the city police said that the images were not ‘leaked’ from their side.

“It has been observed that certain photographs/clips of a minor girl have been shared in media as well as on social media handles. Sharing of any such pictures of a minor is a criminal offence. Publication of any such picture is an offence under Section 23 (2) of the Pocso Act and warrants legal action. Hence it is requested not to share any such information in public. Anyone having evidence related to this case may produce it with Greater Chennai Police,” an official statement from GCP stated.

Meanwhile, a Tamil Nadu Congress functionary, MP Ranjan Kumar, told media persons that he came to know of Veeramani’s acts two years ago and approached a senior police officer in Chennai Police then.

On Wednesday, the police conducted searches at five locations, including a business associate of Veeramani and seized gadgets and several pieces of digital evidence in connection with the case.

When the Villupuram-Chennai Beach train stopped at platform 1 and began departing, Mohammed Elias slipped and fell into the gap between the train and the platform.

As the train moved, he was dragged for about 50 metres. RPF constable Narayan Singh rescued the passenger as the train came to a halt.

One of the plays, Hello Madam, deals with suicide and the importance of speaking to someone during difficult times. The play seeks to convey that a difficult phase does not define an entire life, while encouraging people experiencing suicidal thoughts to reach out and talk.

Escort, adapted by Krishna Kumar (KK) from writer Sujatha, examines superstition and how fear can transform seemingly harmless beliefs. The play also looks at how people can exploit the fear associated with going against such beliefs.

Taking a lighter route, Meeting is a political satire centred on the gap between political promises and their delivery. It also takes a humorous look at shifting political alliances and the contradictions that can emerge in public life.

Aunty Dialogues follows three women in their early 50s who meet every morning for walks. Their conversations, laughter, gossip and plans for a trip form the premise of the play. Venum Ponnu addresses gender discrimination from its earliest point — the belief that the birth of a girl child is a bad omen. The play questions the patriarchal mindset behind such prejudice and the irony of women themselves sometimes perpetuating it.

The sixth play completes the collection, with the production bringing together different voices, tones and subjects on one stage. Arusuvai will be staged on September 26 at 4 pm and 6.30 pm at Babaji Vidhyashram, Sholinganallur.

Several stretches of the road are filled with potholes, making it difficult for two-wheelers, auto rickshaws and other vehicles to pass through. The road is an important link for residents travelling towards GNT Road and Madhavaram High Road.

Motorists are forced to drive along the edges of the road to avoid the potholes. However, when vehicles approach from the opposite direction, they are left with no choice but to drive through the potholes in the middle of the road, increasing the risk of accidents. The road was also dug up about a month ago for EB cable connection works, including the installation of high-tension (HT) cables.

Residents said that the road was not properly restored after the work, further worsening its already poor condition. A resident, Sekar, said, “The middle portion of the road has been damaged and filled with potholes for the past two months. Motorists are forced to drive along the sides to avoid the potholes. When vehicles come from the opposite direction, it becomes very difficult to pass through.”

Concurring with hum was another resident, Sudha, who added that a lot of dust rises from the road whenever vehicles pass through. “Pedestrians face difficulty as the dust gets into their faces and eyes. The road should be repaired before its condition worsens further during the monsoon,” she opined.

Corporation officials told DT Next that EB cable works had been carried out along approximately 150 metres of the road. “A tender proposal has been submitted to repair the damaged stretch. Steps will be taken to lay a new road once the required funds are sanctioned,” an official added.

The MOU was signed recently, as part of an initiative to strengthen academic-industry collaboration in aerospace research, safety and skill development.

According to the university, the proposed laboratory, with a focus on academia and learning, will be set up as a globally unique facility and will be the first dedicated academic laboratory of its kind in India. It will focus on advanced research, testing, training and knowledge gaining in flammability science and safety, particularly in the aerospace sector.

The facility is expected to provide students with hands-on exposure to aerospace flammability testing and research, helping them develop specialised technical skills relevant to the aviation and aerospace industry.

It will also serve as a platform for research and innovation, with opportunities for students and researchers to work on industry-oriented projects and gain practical experience in aerospace safety.

Anna University said the collaboration with Boeing India would further strengthen its academic industry partnerships and create opportunities for q aerospace research and skill development in the field.

The university also acknowledged Boeing India and others involved in establishing the facility, describing the initiative as an important step towards aerospace research, education, safety and innovation.

The first bench comprising Chief Justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan held that making laws is the function of the Legislature and not the courts. While courts can fill limited gaps to protect constitutional rights, they cannot direct the Legislature to enact a particular law or create a new statutory framework.

The court said the reliefs sought would create two new features of electoral law that do not exist under the Constitution or the Representation of the People Act, 1951 — a security deposit linked to the actual public expenditure incurred on a bye-election and a five-year disqualification from contesting elections.

The court noted that even the petitioner had admitted in his affidavit that the proposed mechanism was not presently part of Indian electoral law. It said the plea sought the creation of a new punitive and financial regime, which was a matter of legislative policy and not judicial direction.

The court further held that the Election Commission of India had no independent power under Article 324 or otherwise to add such conditions to the existing disqualifications, and that the court could not confer such power on the poll panel through a writ of mandamus.

The bench also observed that the plea was directed against six named individuals based on the timing of their resignations. Imposing such conditions only on them would run contrary to Article 14 of the Constitution. The right to resign from a legislative seat cannot be burdened by extra-statutory conditions imposed by a judicial order.

Holding that it could not convert an executive or legislative option into a judicial command, the court dismissed the writ petition.

Advocate K Suthan of Saidapet had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Madras High Court, seeking a stay on the by-elections to the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies.

In his petition, Suthan contended that when an elected representative resigns shortly after an election for personal or political reasons, a statutory restriction should be considered to prevent the person from contesting elections to Parliament or a State Legislative Assembly for the next five years.

He submitted that public money is spent on conducting elections and that its economical and responsible use is a matter of public interest. He also argued that the electorate's mandate cannot be treated as a personal political asset that can be abandoned shortly after an election without considering the consequences for voters and the public exchequer.

The petitioner contended that Kumaravel and Sathyabama should not be allowed to contest as they had resigned for political reasons and were causing additional public expenditure.

But while Gaana has increasingly found space in independent music and mainstream cinema, the genre remains closely tied to the communities and experiences from which it emerged. Gaana Maalai, an evening of music and storytelling at DakshinaChitra, aims to bring some of those voices to a wider audience. Organised by DakshinaChitra Museum in collaboration with Atti Culture, the September 26 event brings together four emerging independent Gaana artists - Kelithee, Urban Thozha, Gana Apelow and Gana Francis.

For Kelithee, a contemporary Tamil independent artist, singer and lyricist who blends Gaana with hip-hop and urban sounds, the connection between the two forms comes naturally. “Gaana is quite close to rap, with the words and rhythms. So, I keep the Gaana feeling in the words and use it in hip-hop kind of sounds,” he says.

At its heart, he believes Gaana’s strength lies in its ability to make ordinary experiences into music. “Gaana talks about everyday things. There is friendship, family, hard work and small happinesses,” he adds. That everyday quality is also what makes the genre accessible to younger listeners, particularly as independent music finds new platforms online. Kelithee has noticed how social media has changed the way Gaana travels. “Since songs are on social media, young people can share them, make reels and the song travels fast. It is helping more people listen to Gaana,” says Kelithee.

It is helping more people listen to Gaana,” says Kelithee.

For Urban Thozha, who has worked across Gaana, independent music and projects such as Coke Studio Tamil, each space has offered a different perspective on the genre. “Gaana has taught me to be honest with my music, while independent music has given me the freedom to experiment. Working on Coke Studio also showed me that Gaana can hold its own alongside any kind of music,” he says.

Yet taking Gaana to newer audiences also raises questions about what happens when it moves away from its original setting. The language is an important part of that connection, says Urban Thozha. “When people hear Tamil, the song becomes closer to them,” he says.

There is a risk, however, that audiences may hear the rhythm without understanding the story behind it. “Sometimes only the beat travels and the story stays behind. People will dance, but they do not know why the song was written,” he says.

Gana Apelow, whose performances are known for their energy, sees the difference between performing Gaana in its original surroundings and presenting it on a formal stage. On the street, the audience is part of the performance, he says. “On the street, the people are very close and they sing with me. On stage they are far, so I have to work harder to bring them in. I sing about my area, friends, small everyday things, jokes, festivals and people I grew up with. Anything in life works as a subject,” Apelow tells DT Next.

That breadth of subject matter is something he wants audiences unfamiliar with Gaana to recognise. “Some people think Gaana is only loud and fun music. But it is not. It has sad songs, funny songs and songs with real meaning,” he says.

Gana Francis has seen Gaana move from independent music into mainstream cinema, and says the creative process differs between the two. “Alone, I write what I feel and finish it. In films, there is a story and a scene, so I write for that situation. Both are good. Only the way of working is different.” He also feels the genre’s growing presence in cinema has helped it reach a wider audience. “More people listen now and the recording quality is much better. Our audience has grown, and that has helped many singers,” shares Francis.

For that growth to continue without losing the character of the genre, Francis believes the artists and their experiences need to remain at the centre. “Give Gaana singers more stages and the credit they deserve. Let the language remain the same and let the real stories continue to be heard. That is what keeps Gaana connected to where it comes from,” concludes Francis.

For farmer and home chef Kranthi Kiran, Koya cooking is closely connected to the ingredients available in the region. “Jowar is one of our main ingredients. We use less masala, along with green chilli and red chilli powder,” he says. Among the dishes he will showcase is bilva pulp cooked with prawns. “We take the pulp from the bilva fruit and mix it with prawns. It is an indigenous dish from our community,” adds Kranthi.

Jowar rice gatka, traditionally known as Jonna Gatka, is also a staple. Other dishes include mutton curry prepared in the indigenous style, pachi pulusu, an unheated tamarind soup, and pulagam, a rice-and-lentil dish similar to dry khichdi, traditionally made with raw rice and split black-eyed beans. “We use Mahua flowers in our cooking. We make laddus, biscuits and kheer with the flowers,” says Kranthi. Chikkudu pappu, made with broad bean dal, is another preparation from the Koya kitchen.

Food is also closely connected to the community’s agricultural traditions. “We celebrate agricultural milestones through festivals and that is when we harvest,” the home chef tells DT Next.

From the Karbi community, home chef Jorlin Taropi brings dishes and ingredients from Assam. She has been running the Kardi Community Kitchen in Kormandu for the past four years. “Kangmoi, a traditional dish from our community, will be one of the highlights. The menu will also feature pork and chicken preparations, salad, bamboo shoot mutton curry, sticky rice and sticky rice roti. We eat a lot of black sesame and we use roselle leaves in our cooking.

It is called gongura in South India and Hanserong in Karbi,” she says. The showcase is being held to mark Taj’s recognition as the World’s Strongest Luxury Hotel Brand 2026 and India’s Strongest Brand Across Sectors 2026. For participation details, contact 044 6600 2827.

The fund allocation comes after heightened friction during the August council meeting, where Mayor R Priya, Deputy Mayor Magesh Kumaar, and DMK councillors wore black attire in showed their protest against the non-allotment of development funds over the previous four months.

Councillors across party lines including AIADMK, CPM, CPI, and BJP voiced strong opposition, warning that continued delays would hamper vital monsoon preparedness and stormwater drain (SWD) construction.

Following the Mayor's representation and persistent demands from representatives.

GCC Commissioner G S Sameeran announced the release of funds to ensure smooth execution of infrastructure and flood-mitigation projects in zones 1–15 ahead of the Northeast Monsoon.

Zonal Officers are directed to collect recommendation letters from local councillors and secure approvals from Regional Deputy Commissioners to initiate priority works.

The permitted works includes: Road improvements and new road construction, Fitting Hume Pipes and installing Sumps or Pumps in severely waterlogged areas, Procurement or renting of electric motor pumps and emergency boats, Construction of retaining walls along overflowing storm drain channels, Renovation of relief camps and cluster kitchens. Also, Connecting missing SWD links, adding silt catch pits, and subways improvement and Installing CCTV cameras in flood-prone and public locations. 


Commissioner noted, all project executions must adhere strictly to Finance Department guidelines and the Tender Transparency Act 1998, Rules 2000.

During that meeting, in August DMK councillor Parithi Ilam Suruthi raised the issue strongly, stating,”Officials are telling us that there is no ward development fund this year. If the funds are not released, we may have to resort to a hunger strike.” Addressing the grievances, Mayor R. Priya clarified the status of the funds, assuring the council, “The fund, from the corporation’s capital account, is yet to be released, and I will take it up with the GCC commissioner and the MAWS secretary.”

Passengers said a train was unavailable for around an hour. Around 5,000 passengers were waiting for trains, and with two services not arriving, passengers were forced to travel in a single train.

The signal failure occurred between 5.30 am and 9 am, said S Suresh Babu, president of the Gummidipoondi Railway Passengers Welfare Association. "It already takes two hours to cover 45 km to reach Central. Such signal failures during peak hours have put thousands of commuters in disarray," he said.

A passenger from Ponneri, who works at NTPC's Vallur power plant and regularly travels to Athipattu Pudhunagar, said signal-related problems and delays involving loop lines have become a recurring issue. He said trains are held at Ponneri, Minjur, Ennore and Tiruvottiyur, particularly when express trains are being given passage.

"Suburban trains are kept on a loop line for around half an hour, making the journey for those travelling to Chennai Central for work difficult," he added.

The Gummidipoondi route is a key connecting line as many people from Ponneri travel towards Chennai Central and surrounding areas for work with Gummidipoondi being the terminal for several services before they return towards Chennai. Passengers also raised the recurring issue at Minjur, where trains are held at the level crossing.

According to Southern Railway, the signal failure lasted for one hour and manual operation began around 6.40 am. The railway said trains passed slowly through the section while the signalling problem was being dealt with subsequently.

The interaction programme was held at the CM's secretariat, with officials and faculty members of IIT Madras joining through video conference.

Extending his best wishes to the selected students, Singh encouraged them to make the most of the opportunity and acquire skills that can open up new avenues for employment.

He also said that although the technical aspects of the semiconductor sector are specialised, the emerging field offers significant opportunities for the youth.

He expressed that the students would make good use of the training at IIT Madras and bring back valuable skills and experience to contribute to the state's development.

Twenty-five graduates, including 22 males and three females, were selected from among 75 applications following a selection process.

The students, irrespective of their graduate discipline, will undergo 15 days of residential training at IIT Madras, with the state government bearing the cost of training, accommodation and travel with the support of IIT Madras.

The programme aims at skill development and also facilitating employment opportunities for the trained youth.

After the completion of training, IIT Madras will provide job-placement assistance to successful trainees at various linked industries, it said.

On September 9th, the residents found stray dogs dead with blood oozing from their mouths on several streets in Madambakkam. They were found dead in Yashwant Nagar, Bhuvaneswari Nagar, ALS Nagar and Padmavathi Nagar, which come under Ward 69 of Tambaram Corporation. After residents alerted Tambaram Corporation officials, Corporation workers reached the spot, collected the carcasses and sent them to a veterinary hospital for post-mortem examination.

The post-mortem report confirmed that the dogs were poisoned. The Corporation health officials lodged a complaint with the Selaiyur police.

A special team conducted an inquiry and examined CCTV footage. The police found that Francis Jebaraj (49), an IT employee and a resident of New Jerusalem Nagar in Madambakkam, was raising chickens, goats and pigeons at his house. Stray dogs in the locality attacked his poultry and pigeons repeatedly, resulting in the death of several birds. His goats had also suffered injuries in the attacks.

Angered by the repeated attacks, Jebaraj mixed poison into chicken meat and placed it on the streets during the night to kill the dogs.

A total of 17 dogs consumed the poisoned meat at different locations and died. The Selaiyur police arrested Francis Jebaraj and registered a case against him. He was later produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody.

The incident took place on a bus bound from Iyyappanthangal to Royapuram. A passenger recorded the incident on a mobile phone, and the video has since been widely circulated on social media.

Some of the students were travelling by hanging from the footboard. The conductor asked them to move inside the bus, but they allegedly refused and continued to travel on the footboard.

The students subsequently picked an argument with the conductor and allegedly assaulted him while the bus was moving. Though other passengers intervened, the students reportedly continued to attack him.

The incident took place near the Porur signal. After getting off the bus, some of the students allegedly removed their shirts and returned to attack the conductor.

Based on the video footage, police have identified and detained some of the students and are questioning them.

The incident has prompted the School Education Department to initiate appropriate action and investigation.

The department said the education officials concerned have been instructed to conduct an inquiry and take appropriate action based on the findings.

It also said counselling will be provided to the students involved, as well as other students, to help them understand how to respond to and handle similar situations in the future.

The man kept making gestures at women students, who raised an alarm prompting male students to surround the man.

The students then thrashed and questioned him, who appeared to be intoxicated.

The man plead with them claiming he did not know what he was doing under influence.

Students then informed the police control room and the Chitlapakkam police took the man, Indran of Pudukkottai, into custody.

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

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

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

Why have fuel prices been increased?

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

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

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

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

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

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

The complainant, Tarun (26), a share trader staying in a lodge in Guindy said that Varshini had asked him to invest money in a short film she was planning to make.

When Tarun refused, Varshini, her friend Sanjay and two others confronted him near the lodge on Tuesday morning, assaulted him and threatened him for money after which he gave Rs 50,000.

Later, after receiving threatening calls from Sanjay, Tarun transferred Rs 3 lakh to Varshini’s bank account and Rs 2 lakh to Sanjay’s account.

He also alleged that Sanjay continued to threaten him demanding another Rs 27 lakh.

Based on his complaint, Guindy police registered a case and verified bank transactions which confirmed the transfers to Varshini’s account.

Police arrested Varshini (28) of Mylapore, produced her before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.

The NCMC was introduced in April 2023 alongside the older travel card. The move is in line with the broader objective of enabling seamless travel across public transport systems.

Passengers with balance in their old cards can transfer the amount to a QR-based SVP purchased through the CMRL mobile application or to an NCMC, including the Singara Chennai Card. This facility has helped passengers avoid losing access to money already loaded onto their old cards.

“Passengers can transfer the remaining value from the travel card to QR Stored Value Pass (SVP) purchased through CMRL Mobile App or can use NCMC,” said a CMRL staff at Vadapalani Metro station.

A CMRL official said that the migration facility was intended to ensure that passengers with unused balances are not inconvenienced by the withdrawal of the old card system.

The Singara Chennai Card is a contactless prepaid NCMC card that can be used for public transport and, depending on its applicable features, for retail transactions and other payments. CMRL has also urged commuters to safeguard their cards, as balances on lost travel or NCMC cards are not transferable or refundable under its stated policy.

Between 8.30 am and 9 am, and again after 4 pm, vehicles are parked in large numbers on Peters Road, lining up for nearly 50 to 100 metres from the school entrance.

The stretch is particularly busy during school hours, with autos and two-wheelers frequently stopping near the school to drop off and pick up students. With limited space available, some motorists park along the roadside, further narrowing the carriageway.

With the Peter Road flyover starting opposite the school, the road splits into two lanes. As a result, parking along the roadside further obstructs traffic flow, especially as vehicles approach the flyover.

The congestion increases during school dispersal hours as parents and other vehicles arrive to pick up students. The large number of students moving during this period also raises concerns about their safety.

Jai, a resident, said, "Students come out in large numbers when the school closes. At the same time, other vehicles travel at speed, increasing the risk of accidents. Installing speed breakers and barricades in the area would help ensure the safety of students. Parents also have to be extra cautious while picking up their children."

A traffic police official said that action is being taken against vehicles parked in violation of rules in the school zone. Motorists have been advised not to park vehicles in the school area during morning and evening hours. Vehicles found parked in violation of the rules will be removed, and appropriate action will be taken, the official said.

While OMR is prone to slow-moving traffic, several commuters said that Wednesday was one of the worst days to drive on OMR because of the hasty changes implemented by GCTP.

The GCTP announced the changes for September 23 on its social media page only on Tuesday night, throwing regular commuters off guard.

The new changes prohibited three U-turns on the OMR—the U-turn near Geetham Restaurant, the U-turn near BSR Mall and the U-turn near World Trade Centre.

Vehicles from Mettukuppam proceeding towards Sholinganallur were prohibited from making U-turn near Geetham restaurant and made to proceed up to Perungudi toll booth and make a U-turn there. Vehicles from 200 feet radial road towards Sholinganallur were prohibited from making a U-turn near BSR mall and were asked to proceed upto Perungudi toll booth to make U-turn. Vehicles towards SRP Tools junction from Kandanchavadi were prohibited from making a U-turn near World Trade Centre.

By mid-day, however, traffic was reverted to the earlier arrangement as the sudden change choked the IT corridor.

"Travelling on OMR is a nightmare these days. A new record for me today. Siruseri to Guindy in 2.5 hours. Total waste of time and fuel. City planners should be penalised for this," a vehicle user posted on social media.

S Gokul of Velachery, a regular commuter to Sholinganallur, said that his vehicle was stuck on the 200 feet Radial Road for over half an hour.

"We sent personnel on the ground and cleared the traffic. There was also a lot of indiscipline from vehicle users, like wrong-side driving, which added to the chaos," a traffic enforcement official said.

On busy stretches of Anna Salai, including spans near AG-DMS Metro station, Anna Flyover, Anna Arivalayam, and the Accountant General’s office, silt-filled bags can be seen on pedestrian walkways. A similar sight is visible along Poonamallee High Road near St. Andrew’s Kirk.

Ahead of the monsoon, the State Highways Department has been undertaking storm water maintenance work along another 430 km, covering around 18,000 silt catchpits. Clearing operations are also being carried out at minor and major subways, and at 12 pedestrian subways.

A resident of Royapettah, who owns a shop near AG DMS Metro station, said that exposure to heat and intermittent rain has torn the sacks, causing the wet silt to spill back onto the road. He fears that subsequent rains will wash the removed silts back into the freshly cleared catchpits, defeating the entire purpose of the drive.

Paul Deo, a Teynampet resident, complained, “Instead of transporting the silt directly to dump yards, the department is delaying the action.”

Responding to concerns, a senior Highways official in the city, stated that desilting of silt catchpits is 80% complete across the city. “The removed silt will be disposed of at the Perungudi dumping ground. Instructions have been issued to field officials to clear the stacked gunny bags from Anna Salai and other arterial stretches promptly,” the official added.

Officials put the overall progress at around 95%, with the remaining works targeted for completion by the end of September. The projects, taken up under various schemes, have cost Rs 6,066.80 crore.

Among the major projects, 651.10 km of the 652.40-km Kosasthalaiyar Basin network funded by the Asian Development Bank was completed at a cost of Rs 3,059 crore. The KfW-funded Kovalam Basin project completed 272.80 km of its planned 310 km, leaving 37.20 km.

Under the Capital Fund, 120.10 km of the planned 131.70 km was completed at Rs 470.50 crore. However, the Arcot Road project has emerged as a major bottleneck, with only 7.20 km of the planned 18 km completed under the Rs 103-crore project.

Deputy Mayor Magesh Kumar said, “The delay in the Arcot Road work has worsened congestion along the busy stretch.”

R Ramarao, president, Greater Chennai Contractors Association, attributed the slowdown to “coordination issues between departments and delays in shifting TNPDCL electricity boxes and cables”.

GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran said, “The police have restricted construction work on Arcot Road to between midnight and 4am because of traffic congestion.”

The 18-km stretch has been divided into 18 packages. The drainage system is designed to divert water partly into the Virugambakkam canal and then the Cooum, and partly through Porur into the Adyar. As a contingency measure, GCC has planned to deploy 100-HP pumps to transfer water into nearby SWDs around Porur and along the stretch near 6 Metro Rail stations between Porur and Nandambakkam.

The Corporation is also facing concerns over missing links in the drainage network. “Though the GCC has completed SWD works in several pockets of south Chennai, these drains have not been properly connected. As a result, water does not reach the canals and instead spills onto vacant land and roads,” said Harsha Koda, co-founder, Federation of OMR Residents Welfare Association. It has identified 105 locations where SWD connections are missing. Of these, drainage links have been provided at 37 locations, while work is yet to be completed at the remaining 68 locations

Residents have also flagged missing links in Jai Hind Nagar, Sannathi Street, Adi Dravidar Colony 8th Street, Erneshwarar Nagar 3rd Street, Bajanai Koil Street and Mettu Street in Ward 4, many streets in Ward 195, including Streets 1st-4th in Parthasarathy Nagar, Streets 1st-11th in Kumaran Kudil Nagar and Streets 1st-5th in Raju Nagar.

Sameeran, who inspected the Adyar estuary on Wednesday, said that the Water Resources Department (WRD) was desilting all 4 major river mouths at Ennore near Kosasthalaiyar, Napier Bridge near Cooum, Besant Nagar near Adyar and Muttukadu near Kovalam. The WRD has sanctioned 200 desilting works at Rs 42 crore in Chennai’s waterbodies including Adyar, Cooum and Buckingham canal, with around 48% nearing completion.

The GCC has identified 219 vulnerable zones for the coming monsoon, including stretches of OMR and ECR that witnessed flooding in 2015, 2021 and 2023. It has inspected 215 relief centres, including marriage halls, multi-purpose halls and schools. The civic body has also identified 111 kitchens supported by Amma Canteens and 44 central kitchens normally used for the Chief Minister’s breakfast scheme. More than 1,320 motors, including newly hired 150-200 HP pumps, have been kept ready.

The GCC has 38 boats of its own, while another 258 boats have been tied up with the Fisheries Department and local fishermen. An advance of Rs 5 lakh has been released to each Assistant Director of Fisheries to avoid delays in payments during emergency operations, Sameeran said.

However, councillors have raised concerns over preparedness. Ward 4 councillor R Jayaram alleged that preparedness this year was slower compared to 2025 when motor pumps were kept ready in low-lying areas ahead of the monsoon. “Ward committee meetings were held regularly earlier. Now, only one meeting has been held in the last two months. No full-fledged desilting works have been undertaken,” he stated.

The forecasting committee that met Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Tuesday has indicated an increased likelihood of normal to above-normal northeast monsoon rainfall, while cautioning that rainfall could vary considerably across locations and periods.

The ECMWF Seasonal Forecast System 5, issued in August for October-December, has also projected above-normal precipitation over Tamil Nadu and neighbouring southern regions, with rainfall anomalies of 50-200 mm in parts.

Over the years, she travelled to villages and remote interiors across the country, meeting artists, living with them and learning about the traditions they have inherited and continue to practise.

The exhibition titled 'Traversing the Tapestry: The Living Folk Art Forms of India', brings together 12 art forms from different parts of the country. The collection includes Warli, Kavad, Phad, Mysore, Pichwai, Cheriyal scrolls, Pattachitra, Kerala murals, Gond, Madhubani, Kalighat and Kangra miniatures.

“I wanted to understand what goes into creating each art form, from the colours and mediums they use to the stories and traditions behind them. More importantly, I wanted to understand how this knowledge has been passed down through generations,” says Ritu

For her, the experience was more than documenting art. Living alongside the artists changed the way she looked at folk traditions and the communities that preserve them. “It was a life-changing experience. I met different kinds of people and artists, and living and staying with them changed my perspective on what art should be. It was not just about documenting their work, but discovering their knowledge, their systems and the cultural wealth that still exists in the remotest parts of India, which we may not be aware of while living in cities,” she says.

The exhibition also aims to introduce these traditions to a wider audience, particularly younger viewers. “Many people do not know that these art forms exist. The idea is to create awareness and help more people discover them,” she adds.

Alongside the exhibition, three workshops will offer participants an opportunity to learn directly from practitioners. Vijay Joshi will conduct the Phad painting workshop, Anwar Chitrakar will lead the Kalighat painting workshop and Krishna Kumar will conduct the Kerala mural workshop. The workshops will run simultaneously, with registrations on a first-come, first-served basis. The exhibition and workshop will be held on September 24 and 25 at InKo Centre.

KVN Productions had lodged a complaint as parts of the movie were illegally uploaded on April 3, when it was still under review for certification. Freelance editor Uma Sankar was among the 21 people booked in the case. The Chennai City Police Commissioner passed an order on July 30 detaining him under the Goondas Act.

Uma Sankar's sister, Renuka Devi, filed a habeas corpus petition before the Madras High Court challenging the detention order. Division bench of Justices N Sathish Kumar and K Rajasekar heard the plea. The petitioner's counsel submitted that the Police Commissioner had passed the detention order mechanically, without applying his mind.

The police contended that Uma Sankar had played a key role in illegally releasing the film before its scheduled release and, therefore, the detention order under the Goondas Act should not be quashed. Accepting the submissions, the Bench quashed the Goondas Act detention order against Uma Sankar.
