The deceased, Anbazhagan, also known as Maina Kutty, was a resident of Thiruneermalai. He was serving as the district organiser of the VCK's Volunteers Wing.

On Friday morning, as Anbazhagan was talking to friends near the Ambedkar statue in Thiruneermalai, close to the DMK zonal office, a gang of six unidentified men wearing helmets came there on three bikes.

They hacked Anbazhagan repeatedly with sickles and fled the spot at high speed. The onlookers immediately alerted the 108 ambulance service. A medical team that arrived at the spot examined Anbazhagan and declared that he had already died.

On information, the Shankar Nagar police rushed to the spot and sent Anbazhagan's body to the Tambaram Government Hospital for post-mortem examination. Police sources said Anbazhagan was facing several cases, including three of murder.

The police suspect that previous enmity could have been the motive behind the murder. The police have registered a case and are trying to identify the killers with the help of CCTV in the locality.

Organised by the Southern India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) in association with the German Indian Business Association (GIBA), the conclave focused on strengthening MSME cooperation and leveraging opportunities under the proposed India EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

Manfred Ockel, Mayor of Kelsterbach, Germany, invited Indian companies to explore business opportunities in the city, citing its infrastructure and business ecosystem. He said more than 500 Indians currently live in Kelsterbach and called for stronger collaboration between Indian businesses, German states, and universities and academic institutions, particularly in vocational education and skills development.

German Consul General in Chennai Michael Hasper said prospects for closer economic engagement between India and Germany have "never been greater". He highlighted opportunities to combine India's manufacturing strengths with German standards, expertise and technology, particularly in mechanical and electrical engineering, with a vision of "Manufacture in India for the World".

Alex Paul Menon, Development Commissioner, MEPZ SEZ, said India's merchandise exports to the EU stood at around 75.85 billion US dollar, while imports were about 60.68 billion US dollars. Tamil Nadu's exports had grown from 26.15 billion US dollar in 2020-21 to 52.07 billion US dollar in 2024-25.

He said the proposed FTA could boost MSMEs in textiles, leather, marine products, chemicals, electronics, automobiles and engineering, while stressing the need for cleaner production and energy efficiency.

The allegation came after Commissioner GS Sameeran told the council that a series of meetings had already been held with ministers and senior officials to review monsoon preparedness, even as he detailed the Rs 100 crore sanctioned for precautionary works.

“Mayor and Deputy Mayor had not been invited to the meetings convened by the government in the Secretariat on monsoon preparedness,” she alleged.

The issue arose during a discussion initiated by councillor Velu (Ward 78), who questioned why elected Corporation representatives were not being consulted on the monsoon works and allocations being made for their wards. The Commissioner told the council that Rs 100 crore had been accorded administrative sanction for monsoon preparedness.

According to the GCC, Rs 22.46 crore was being spent on desilting 1,671 km of storm water drains, Rs 10 crore had been allocated at Rs 5 lakh/ward for monsoon preparedness and Rs 22 crore for road patching and repairs. “Councillors and zonal committee chairpersons know the ground situation very well, and yet we’re kept in the dark,” said C Velu. “Is Rs 5 lakh enough? You should ask my opinion.”

He recalled that during earlier monsoon preparations, meetings involved the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, MLAs and Zonal Committee Chairpersons, with zonal representatives placing their requirements before the government. Mayor Priya remarked, “This is supposed to be a people’s government, but the manner of functioning resembles that of officials’ administration.”

The flag-hoisting ceremony and chariot procession will be held on August 29 from 4.30 p.m., while the grand chariot procession is scheduled for September 7 at 7.30 p.m. The flag-lowering ceremony will be held on September 8.

Traffic restrictions will be imposed on roads around 6th Avenue (Beach Road), 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 4th Main Road and 7th Avenue during the processions.

Vehicles approaching from the ECR and OMR will be diverted via Adyar Bus Depot, Indira Nagar 2nd Avenue and Indira Nagar 1st Main Road towards LB Road. Buses will be diverted through M.G. Road and Shastri Nagar 1st Main Road.

Parking facilities have been arranged at Olcott Memorial Higher Secondary School, Arignar Anna Government Higher Secondary School, Besant Nagar 2nd Main Road, 4th Avenue and 17th Cross Street.

The traffic police have advised motorists to avoid Elliot’s Beach and adjoining areas on the three procession days, anticipating heavy pedestrian and vehicular movement.

According to the FIR registered on August 24, 2026, Sanjay Bapurao Chinchghare, who was then working as a District Valuation Officer in the Income Tax Department’s Valuation Cell in Chennai and is now a Superintending Engineer/Planning with the CPWD, and D. Manjunathan, then an Assistant Valuation Officer-I in the same cell and now an Assistant Engineer with the CPWD, allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy with Subhash Chander Rana, partner of AKS Engineering Company.

The FIR states that the officials allegedly demanded Rs 9 lakh from Rana for issuing a favourable valuation report for his company’s property at Ambattur Industrial Estate. The property valuation had been referred to the Income Tax Valuation Cell by the National Faceless Assessment Centre in New Delhi.

According to the FIR, Rana met Chinchghare at his Chennai residence on January 4, 2023, in connection with the pending valuation report. Chinchghare allegedly demanded Rs 9 lakh in the presence of Manjunathan and instructed Rana to pay the amount to Manjunathan.

Later that evening, Manjunathan allegedly received Rs 9 lakh from Rana at a hotel in Ashok Nagar in return for a favourable preliminary valuation report.

The ACB has booked the accused under Sections 7, 7A, 8 and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, as amended in 2018, read with Section 120B of the IPC. The FIR states that the case has been taken up for investigation.

“Sundharapuram and Shivarajapuram in Pulianthope area, each with 14 streets, face severe road-cut issues. The Metro Water department continues with their works while the issues remain unresolved,” said Ward 78 Councillor C Velu.

He also strongly criticised the Corporation’s failure to collect the outstanding charges owed by Metro Water for cutting the roads at the council meeting. “If the money from Metro Water had been collected, the GCC would not be facing the cash crisis,” he said. “The Corporation must stop auditing and funding redundant schemes and instead, focus on recovering these dues to restructure the city’s financial position.”

However, GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran said that the Corporation was currently unable to collect the dues as the payment from Metro Water was linked to funds to be received from CMDA. “Metro Water has to pay around Rs 80 crore to us as road-cut charges,” he added. “There are many such works across North Chennai, but the exact number of roads involved will require a detailed assessment.”

Sameeran had mentioned that Metro Water was executing major infrastructure works under the North Chennai Development Scheme and that works worth more than Rs 3,500 crore had been released. “To prevent these public works from stalling, Metro Water was permitted to carry out road cuts in anticipation of approval,” he pointed out. “CMDA, which ultimately has to fund and pay GCC for the road cuts, is facing a shortage of funds, preventing Metro Water from handing over the charges to the civic body.”

Despite the pending payments, Sameeran defended the decision to permit the road cuts, stating that Metro Water’s infrastructure works were for public benefit and should not be delayed. The Corporation, meanwhile, is left awaiting the road-cut revenue, even as questions remain over the restoration of roads after the utility works.

Speaking at the council meeting, she added that several houses along Third Avenue had been converted into hotels and other commercial establishments without adequate parking arrangements.

“There are no parking arrangements or anything,” she told DT Next, and questioned why the Corporation had acted swiftly against small shops instead of exploring whether some of them could be regularised with conditions. “They could have clearly laid down some ground rules. The park is where people gather, so it should be considered as a vending zone,” she said.

She alleged that action against vendors were often taken immediately after complaints were raised on social media, while larger commercial establishments operating from residential properties on Third Avenue continued without similar scrutiny. “If someone says something or puts it on social media, the Corporation immediately plunges into action without any afterthought,” she said.

Rani called for the Corporation to examine commercial establishments operating from residential properties and their parking arrangements. She also urged the civic body to consider regularising the affected small shops subject to appropriate conditions.

The deceased was identified as Aruna, wife of Manjunatha and a resident of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh. She had come to the area to attend a marriage and was staying at a relative's house in Vadattur Kandigai village near Thamarai Pakkam Koot Road, said the police.

Aruna was found with burn-like injuries on her face. Though police initially suspected that acid could have been used, the injuries did not appear typical of an acid attack, said sources. Investigators are also examining the possibility that rock salt mixed with another substance could have been used. Officials said the exact nature of the substance could be established only after forensic examination.

Though police initially suspected that acid could have been used, the injuries did not appear typical of an acid attack, said sources

On receiving information, a police team led by Uthukottai Inspector reached the spot and recovered the body, which was sent to the Tiruvallur Government Hospital for post-mortem examination. A mobile phone found near the body was also seized.

Officials said there were no apparent signs of sexual assault or jewellery theft. A case has been registered and special teams are investigating various angles to establish the motive and identify the accused.

Take strong action, Premallatha tells CM Vijay

Citing the murder, DMDK general secretary and Vriddhachalam MLA Premallatha Vijayakant urged the ruling TVK government to ensure women’s safety and strengthen law and order.

Talking to reporters at the Secretariat, she demanded stringent punishment for those responsible. “A woman has been killed after acid was thrown on her. The chief minister, who is in charge of the Home Department, should ensure women’s safety. Those responsible should be given the maximum punishment,” she said.

The sport was launched on the IIT-Madras campus in the presence of Dean (Students) Sathyanarayana N Gummadi, students, faculty members, teams from city colleges and other stakeholders.

Unlike conventional invasion sports involving two teams, Phiball features three teams competing simultaneously on a circular court. Each team attacks two opponent baskets while defending one, requiring players to constantly monitor multiple opponents and adapt their strategies.

Director V Kamakoti said, “IIT-Madras is extending its culture of innovation to sport. Phiball is a new game that involves multiple teams and also captures the field dimensions mathematically. Winning requires accuracy, presence of mind, teamwork and good physical health – all essential for a happy life.”

Gummadi stated that the sport had been developed around teamwork, speed, communication, tactical decision-making, fairness and safety. “The three-team format will challenge players to respond to constantly changing attacking and defensive situations,” he added.

Each team comprises seven players – four active and three substitutes. Matches consist of three eight-minute quarters, with teams rotating the basket they defend clockwise after every quarter. A 24-second shot clock applies to new possessions, with a 14-second reset in applicable situations.

The scoring system awards one point for a successful free throw, two for a field goal inside the 6.75-metre arc and three for a field goal beyond it. Shooting is prohibited from the Centre Free Zone.

Participants from nine institutions, including IIT-Madras, VIT Chennai, Sathyabama University and YMCA College of Physical Education, will take part in the initial sporting engagement.

The deceased was identified as Aathish alias Aathi, a native of Pudukottai. His father works as SI in Pudukkottai.

He had been staying at a men's PG hostel on Shenoy Road for the past month and was working as a physiotherapist at a private facility in Rajaji Colony.

The incident occurred around 9.25 pm. On receiving information from the public, Nungambakkam police rushed to the spot and sent the body to the KMC Government Hospital mortuary. A case was registered and an investigation is under way.

Police said CCTV footage from the building was available and was being examined.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that Aathish had completed his BPT course at SRM and had been in a relationship with a 22-year-old junior from the same course. He reportedly spoke to her shortly before the incident and expressed distress over receiving only Rs 15,000 as salary. Police are probing the circumstances of his death.

A case was registered and an investigation is under way, said officials, adding that they are checking the CCTV footage from the building.

During the inspection, the Chief Minister is learnt to have questioned prison officials directly about complaints raised by inmates, the quality of food being served, prison administration and the safety and welfare of prisoners.

He also sought details on allegations of bribery, the unauthorised use of mobile phones and the circulation of narcotic substances inside the prison.

Officials were reportedly questioned on the measures being taken to prevent the smuggling and use of drugs within the prison premises.

CM Vijay also reviewed issues concerning the security of inmates and incidents involving deaths in custody.

He is learnt to have issued a stern warning to prison officials to ensure that there was no negligence in handling prisoners or complaints relating to their welfare and safety.

The inspection, which was underway at Puzhal, covered various aspects of prison administration, including inmate security, food quality, prevention of drug circulation, restrictions on mobile phone use and allegations of corruption.

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 Friday.

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

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

Why have fuel prices been increased?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

August 27 - Rs 107.77

Organised by the Uzhaipor Urimai Iyakkam (UUI), the demonstration marked the second phase of an agitation that entered its eighth day.

Workers said key demands, including permanent employment, paid maternity leave, weekly off-days, and a food allowance, had not received adequate attention from the government led by CM Vijay.

The protest gained further momentum following the reinstatement of 12 cleanliness workers in the Tondiarpet zone after a wait of nearly a year. The reinstated workers worked across several wards in the zone.

Speaking to DT Next, R Uma said she was jobless for over a year and forced to rely on private loans to cover basic expenses.

“While several others returned to work earlier this year, I struggled to pay my siblings’ college fees and house rent. After several months, I finally got my job back,” she said.

Uma added that she joined the protest immediately after finishing her first shift. “I am married and do not have a child yet. Paid maternity leave would be immensely helpful for many women like me,” she said.

Protesters said the whistle-blowing action was aimed at drawing the immediate attention of the Chief Minister and GCC officials to their long-pending demands.

The deceased woman, M Kalavathi (59), was found unconscious in 1.5 feet deep stagnant water in a pit on Sunday (August 23) night.

Kalavathi worked as a housekeeping staff at a sweet stall in Anna Nagar.

On Sunday evening, she went to a church and was returning home when the incident happened.

Her daughter, Sangeetha (28), told mediapersons that her mother called her over phone around 9 pm on Sunday and told her that she would return home late.

According to Sangeetha, the police told her that her mother seemed to have suffered an electric shock, as the rescuers felt electric shock while handling her.

While it was initially reported that the woman fell in a pit dug for stormwater drain works, GCC claimed that the works were completed several days ago.

After it was established that Kalavathi had died of electrocution, the police altered the case to negligence and on Thursday summoned the assistant engineers from GCC and Tangedco for questioning.

Sanjay Murthy launched the Foundation-level certification at the IIT-M campus through SWAYAM Plus, in the presence of the institute Director V Kamakoti, among others.

"As government becomes increasingly digital, our audit must be capable of giving assurances on the robustness of the systems. CADS will, in time, be a mandatory requirement for officers auditing digital systems," Murthy said.

He said a nine-month IIT-M course in Data Analytics, AI, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity had added significant value to CAG's audit efforts. Officers who completed the course were already applying advanced analytics and AI/ML skills in field audits, he added.

Kamakoti said the initiative was in line with the National Education Policy 2020's emphasis on inclusive and skill-based education. "Technology adaptation is impacting all walks of life, and hence it is imperative to build capacity towards audit of these digital domains to ensure transparency and accountability," he said.

Jointly designed by experts from CAG, IIT-M and IITM Pravartak, the four-month programme is open to anyone holding or pursuing an undergraduate degree. It will be delivered online, while proctored computer-based tests will be conducted in person.

The curriculum covers Public Audit, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Digital Public Platforms and Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence. Proficient and Expert-level certifications will subsequently be offered.

Additional Deputy CAG and Chief Technology Officer Bijay Kumar Mohanty said the geography-neutral programme would eventually be opened to global participants.

Murthy also distributed certificates to CAG officials who completed the IIT-M course on Data Science, AI and Cybersecurity.

The five tourists were G Maran and his wife M Shanthi of Kalakshetra Colony, Besant Nagar; Navukarasar Kabir Das and his wife Vijaya Bhuvaneshwari from Murugu Nagar, Velachery; and Sathya from Manapakkam.

Speaking to DT Next, Maran's brother Udhaya Ravi said, "My brother and his wife left Chennai on Sunday for a pilgrimage to Nepal. After hearing about the horrifying incident, we were anxious about their whereabouts. Maran called his daughter, who lives in Maraimalai Nagar, around 11.30 am on Wednesday, and informed her they have safely taken shelter from the flood.”

Ravi said 20 people who were travelling in one van survived, while the vehicles ahead and behind them got washed away. Sensing unusual vibrations, the driver of the van rerouted, ensuring the safety of all 20 passengers.

He further shared that on Thursday morning, around 10.30 am, they received a message on their family group from Maran stating, ‘Greetings to Akka, Bava, and everyone. Thank you. We are all fine and doing well. We have now safely reached the Trishuli army camp via helicopter. See you soon.’

Sri Ram, the son-in-law of S Sathya from Manapakkam said his mother-in-law, who is a government primary school headmistress in Malayambakkam, Kundrathur taluk, Kancheepuram, regularly updated us.

"After reaching Kathmandu, she contacted us. Her last message came when they were half an hour from the immigration point." Shortly after that update, the landslide occurred. "My wife Atchaya was deeply worried about her mother when the updates stopped coming."

This was Sathya's first pilgrimage to Nepal. "On Thursday afternoon, she called to let us know she was safe and had reached the relief camp. We are so relieved now," Sri Ram said.

Meanwhile, Malini, a neighbour of Navukarasar Kabir Das and his wife Vijaya Bhuvaneshwari from Murugu Nagar, Velachery, expressed her relief after hearing from their daughter they were safe.

"Having been their neighbour for 24 years, they share updates with me regularly. Yesterday, I learned about the flash floods, and on Thursday morning, their daughter informed me that her parents were safe. I pray for their safe return." "The couple go on a pilgrimage thrice a year," Malini added.

Historian Meenakshi Devaraj curated a set of six postcards featuring familiar visuals of Madras in kolam form. The postcards were first handed over to the children at the special girls' hostel of Sri Arunodayam Charitable Trust, a home for children with intellectual disabilities who have been abandoned by their families.

The children were invited to be part of the celebration by engaging with the postcards through drawing, colouring and writing on them. The postcards, created by Nampayanam in collaboration with the Postcrossing Society of India and Postcards Ville, feature different aspects of the city, including the Corporation, the seashore community, Marina and its statues, the music season and the film industry.

“When Meenakshi expressed her idea of an inclusive event and involving the children in the celebration, we wondered if they would be able to understand and participate. When we explained the idea to them, they were happy to take part,” says Iyyappan Subramanian, Founder and Managing Trustee of Sri Arunodayam Charitable Trust.

The trust currently has 125 children in its shelters, both boys and girls. Iyyappan says many of them are good at art and craft activities, which made the postcard project an enjoyable way for them to participate.

"Some kids drew on the postcards, some wrote messages and some coloured them. That is how they took part in the celebration. It was a joyful and exciting moment for them," he says.

For Meenakshi, the experience was deeply personal. She has used kolams to tell stories about Madras in various forms, but seeing the children interact with her work gave the project a different meaning.

"I have spoken about the history of Madras to many people. My kolams have taken many forms, but when my Madras kolam postcards were introduced to special children, the feeling that went through me cannot be described in words," she tells us.

The children had different responses to the postcards. Some recognised Marina Beach and its statues, while others connected with the activity through drawing and colouring. For Meenakshi, the idea was not about expecting everyone to participate in the same way, but about giving them an opportunity to be part of the celebration.

“Usually, children with intellectual disabilities are not involved in Madras Day celebrations. We celebrate in different spaces, but they are often left out. This year, I took the initiative hoping others would follow and make their celebrations more inclusive,” she adds.

Iyyappan also hopes more such opportunities will be created in the future for people with disabilities.

“The initiative may have been a small part of the city's Madras Day celebrations, but it carried a larger message. Celebrating a city is also about celebrating its people, and that celebration becomes more meaningful when everyone has a place in it,” he adds.

Police said the gang struck an ATM on Kakkalur bypass road near Gummidipoondi.

Kiosks of two banks function in adjacent buildings. While the gang broke into one machine, they failed to breach the second, according to police sources.

The crime came to light on Wednesday morning when a customer entered the Axis Bank ATM kiosk to withdraw cash, found the machine broken open, and alerted the police.

A police team rushed to the spot and found that the gang had used a gas welding machine to cut open the Axis Bank ATM and loot the cash.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that the culprits sprayed black paint on the CCTV cameras inside the kiosk before committing the theft.

Bank officials said the machine was loaded with Rs 12 lakh cash two days ago. Police confirmed that Rs 11.5 lakh was missing.

Fingerprint units and forensic experts collected evidence from the scene. CCTV footage from nearby shops and the highway is being examined to identify the suspects and their vehicle.

Senior police officers suspect the same gang was involved in both the Somangalam and Gummidipoondi incidents. In Somangalam, the gang targeted an ICICI Bank ATM on the Sriperumbudur–Kundrathur highway using an identical modus operandi to steal Rs 10 lakh.

In 2023, a Haryana-based gang targeted four ATMs in Tiruvannamalai district, using gas cutters to loot Rs 72.50 lakh from cash chests.

Police subsequently arrested two persons, including the kingpin, from Haryana.

The exhibition brings together two different painting styles, both inspired by birds and the natural world.

Jayaraj’s works combine watercolour with torn paper, newspaper pieces and collage. His paintings feature birds such as the Common Chaffinch, Blue Tit, Great Indian Bustard, Grey Heron, House Sparrow and Oriental Magpie-Robin.

His interest in birds grew from a six-year sketch-a-day practice, which he began as part of an initiative honouring ornithologist Dr Salim Ali.

Dhiyaneshwaran presents a large collection of watercolour paintings featuring Indian and Asian birds. His works capture the colours, shapes and character of birds such as the Oriental White-eye, Racket-tailed Drongo, Purple Swamphen, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher, White-bellied Treepie and Eurasian Coot.

His collection also includes the Greater Flameback, Indian Paradise Flycatcher, Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Fire-tailed Sunbird, Asian Openbill, Black-headed Ibis and Black-winged Stilt.

The exhibition features his Egrets Series 1 and 2, a pair of large acrylic works measuring 24 by 36 inches.

While Jayaraj’s paintings look at birds in relation to their habitats, urbanisation and conservation, Dhiyaneshwaran focuses more closely on the birds themselves and their unique features.

Winged Echoes is on view from 10 am to 6 pm until August 30 at Art Cube Gallery, Virugambakkam.

A release from the hospital claimed that the initiative also complements the ongoing 41st national eye donation fortnight, reinforcing the importance of exploring innovative approaches to restoring vision while preserving precious donor tissue.

The dedicated centre will focus on Pinhole Pupilloplasty (PPP), a microsurgical technique, developed by Dr Amar Agarwal, designed to improve the quality of vision in appropriately selected patients with conditions such as corneal scars, irregular corneas, high corneal aberrations and certain post-surgical optical distortions.

The inauguration places renewed focus on an important challenge in ophthalmology, restoring useful vision to patients with complex corneal optics while preserving the natural cornea whenever clinically possible.

Instead of replacing the cornea, PPP modifies the eye's optical system by creating a small, precisely centred pupillary aperture.

The smaller aperture helps block scattered and distorted light rays and allows better-focused rays to reach the retina.

This pinhole effect can reduce the impact of higher-order optical aberrations and thereby improve functional vision and visual quality.

The infant was allegedly sold after middlemen lured the mother with promises of money, taking advantage of her financial difficulties. Police have launched an investigation to trace the person who purchased the baby and determine whether others are involved in the incident.

Mom forced to sell newborn

Pavithra, a resident of Villivakkam, had delivered a baby girl at a private hospital in the area. Police said she had separated from her husband and was struggling financially, leaving her unable to settle the hospital expenses.

Taking advantage of her situation, two alleged middlemen, Andal and Dhanalakshmi, reportedly approached Pavithra and persuaded her to sell the newborn. Police suspect that a doctor at the hospital was also involved in facilitating the transaction.

The two-day-old infant was subsequently allegedly handed over in an illegal arrangement, prompting police to begin an inquiry after receiving information about the incident.

Case registered under six sections

Following an investigation, Villivakkam police registered a case on Thursday (August 27) against Pavithra, Andal, Dhanalakshmi and the doctor under six sections of law, including provisions relating to child trafficking and illegal adoption.

A special team led by the Villivakkam Assistant Commissioner of Police has intensified the investigation. Police are attempting to trace the person who allegedly purchased the child and ascertain whether the accused are part of a larger network involved in illegal baby sales.

The rescued infant will be produced before the Child Welfare Committee, after which necessary steps will be taken to place the child in the care of a children’s home, police said.

The seven corridors, together stretching about 11,000 km, handle around 41% of Indian Railways’ total traffic, despite accounting for only about 16% of its rail network, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

The three corridors involving Chennai are Howrah–Chennai, Chennai–Mumbai and Delhi–Chennai. The other corridors are Delhi–Howrah, Mumbai–Delhi, Mumbai–Howrah and Delhi–Guwahati.

The arrested persons have been identified as Alagappan (66), his wife Nachal (60), son Siva (35) and daughter-in-law Aarthi (33). While Aarthi was granted bail by a court as she has an infant, Alagappan, Nachal and Siva have been lodged in Puzhal Prison in Chennai.

ED arrests Alagappan, family in Gautami property case

The ED's action follows a complaint filed by Gautami with the Chennai Police in 2023. She had alleged that Alagappan, a long-time family friend whom she had trusted to manage her properties, misused the power of attorney given to him and allegedly cheated her of properties and funds worth several crore rupees.According to the complaint, Gautami owned a plot of land in Kancheepuram district valued at around Rs 20 crore. She had planned to sell the property to meet expenses related to her cancer treatment and her daughter's future education.

Gautami had discussed the proposed sale with Alagappan, following which he obtained a General Power of Attorney in his name. She later alleged that he claimed the property had been sold for only Rs 6 crore and had misappropriated the proceeds. She also alleged that Alagappan's wife, son and daughter-in-law were involved in the alleged fraud.

Gautami alleged properties transferred without her knowledge

The allegations were not limited to the Kancheepuram property. According to the background of the case, Gautami had also alleged that properties belonging to her in Tiruvallur, Tiruvannamalai, Ramanathapuram and Chennai were transferred, purchased or partitioned without her knowledge. She further alleged that substantial amounts were siphoned from her bank accounts using powers of attorney and other documents.

Following her complaint, several cases were registered by different police agencies in Tamil Nadu. The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of the Chennai Police took up the investigation and later traced Alagappan and his family members to Thrissur in Kerala. Alagappan, Nachal, Siva and Aarthi were arrested by the CCB and remanded in custody before subsequently securing bail.

ED launches money laundering probe

The ED later registered a case to investigate the money laundering aspects of the alleged property fraud. The central agency is examining whether the assets and funds allegedly obtained through the transactions constitute proceeds of crime under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The probe is based on nearly seven FIRs registered by various police agencies in Tamil Nadu in connection with allegations against Alagappan and his family.

As part of the investigation, the ED recently conducted searches at around six premises linked to Alagappan and his family. The searches were carried out at locations including Velachery, Karpagam Avenue, Anna Nagar and Poonamallee in Chennai, besides premises in Karaikudi and Madurai.

Gautami appears before ED

Following the searches, the ED summoned Gautami to clarify details regarding documents and financial transactions seized during the raids. Gautami subsequently appeared at the ED's Chennai office and provided her statement to the officials.

The investigation is now focused on tracing the alleged financial transactions, examining the properties involved and determining the role of Alagappan and his family members in the alleged diversion of assets and funds. Meanwhile, with the latest arrests, the ED is continuing its investigation into the money laundering allegations arising from the property dispute.

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 workers are seeking job permanency, a mandatory weekly day off, quality housing with basic amenities and withdrawal of criminal cases registered against workers and union leaders during the 2025 protests.

On Tuesday, the workers had sought permission to hold a peaceful demonstration on the campus. Loyola Mani, chairman of the Tamil Nadu Textbook and Educational Services Corporation, assured them that permission would be granted.

Health minister KG Arunraj said on Wednesday that ministers were actively holding discussions with the protesting cleanliness workers. He assured them that a decision on their demands would be taken soon.

A Asraf, a cleanliness worker, said the government had allowed them to protest inside the Ripon campus, however, the space was inadequate for the gathering.

"While we welcome the consideration shown by the ministers, no formal written agreement has been provided to us regarding the demands currently under consideration," he said.

In the early hours of Tuesday, a gang arrived at an ICICI Bank ATM on the Sriperumbudur-Kundrathur Highway near Pudhupedu village, near Somangalam. They used a welding machine to cut open the ATM and escaped with around 10 lakh in cash.

Although the robbery occurred in Kancheepuram district, the area falls under the Tambaram City Police Commissionerate. Following the incident, the Tambaram police registered a case and formed more than three special teams to trace the robbers. They found that the gang had arrived in a black car and removed its original registration plate, took the number plate from another car parked along the roadside and fitted it onto their vehicle before fleeing the spot.

The investigation gained a breakthrough when the black car was spotted in Telangana on Tuesday evening. Later that night, police at a toll plaza attempted to stop the car for inspection. But, the men pointed a handgun and threatened the police before speeding away.

The toll plaza staff chased the vehicle in another car for a considerable distance, when the suspects abandoned it in a forested area and fled. A Tambaram special police team reached the location and seized the abandoned black car. A number plate and other forensic clues have been collected for examination.

Police suspected the black car itself may have been stolen, and that the gang may have used another stolen vehicle to go to Mumbai. Additional teams have been deployed to Mumbai and other areas as the search continues.

The programmes were organised across six police districts — Flower Bazaar, Washermanpet, Pulianthope, Anna Nagar, Koyambedu and Kolathur. Police interacted with public and explained the risks associated with drug use, including its impact on health and families.

They also sought public cooperation in preventing drug abuse and making Chennai a drug-free city. More than 2,000 participants pledged their support for the police campaign and took an oath to work towards preventing drug abuse.

The Chennai Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) has been laying drinking water and sewage pipelines across North Chennai, under the Vada Chennai Valarchi Thittam (VCVT), launched by the previous DMK government. However, delays in completing the works have raised safety concerns among residents ahead of the northeast monsoon.

On Jagjivan Ram Nagar Main Road in Sathya Murthy Nagar, Vyasarpadi, work on a sewage pipeline began in July after residents sought replacement of ageing pipelines following three consecutive road cave-ins. “Due to the rain, the road has become slushy, and heavy machinery left on the roadside frequently causes injuries. Officials must complete the work immediately,” said N Sakthi, a resident.

The situation is worrying on Jagjivan Ram Nagar 3rd Street, with overflowing sewage forcing children to jump through the street. Sakthi said that a CMWSSB field official had attributed the seepage to ongoing pipeline works, during which some main pipelines had been temporarily blocked.

A senior CMWSSB official said, “Sewage pipeline installation has been completed on 117 streets in the Tondiarpet zone, while work on the remaining 15 projects is expected to be completed by the end of August.”

Residents of Gandhi Nagar in Vyasarpadi said that although the main sewage and drinking water pipelines had been completed, household connections were yet to be provided. “We still depend entirely on tanker lorries for our daily drinking water. There are also no underground electrical cable lines in these narrow streets. We have no choice but to draw power by tapping into the main distribution box,” said Vijaya, a senior citizen.

Another resident added that such EB connections posed a serious safety risk, particularly during the monsoon, as children frequently play on the streets.

In Muthamil Nagar 4th Block, 98th and 111th Streets, along with KMA Main Garden Road, streets have deteriorated. “Driving through the interior streets of KMA Garden is a bumpy experience as the roads have become extremely slippery after rain,” said G Naresh, a member of the Muthamil Nagar 6th Block Welfare Association.

Residents also flagged the slow progress of renovation work at the tank ground in Sathya Murthy Nagar. Though work began two months ago, high-mast and floodlights are yet to be installed and key structural works remain pending.

Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) Commissioner GS Sameeran said that the civic body had allotted Rs 125 crore for restoring 2,000 interior roads and 97 bus route roads across the city. Another Rs 24 crore had been earmarked for immediate patchwork and emergency road restoration during the monsoon across all zones. “CMWSSB executed the road cuts for utility laying. Once they complete their work and officially hand over the stretches to the GCC, road restoration will begin immediately,” he added.

A senior GCC official said that lights would be installed at the Sathya Murthy Nagar tank ground immediately. “The Rs 1.3 crore playground renovation will also resume at full pace after the old tank structure at the site was demolished. I will inspect the hazardous household EB connections linked to the Gandhi Nagar distribution box and take corrective action soon,” she added.

Complaints were received that the employees were demanding money for new connections to houses and commercial establishments, transfer of service connections and replacement of faulty electricity meters.

Based on that, a DVAC team conducted a search and secured Rs 59,000 from an assistant divisional engineer and Rs 10,000 from another employee. The duo were directed to appear before DVAC and explain the source of the cash. As they failed to provide a satisfactory explanation, DVAC recommended departmental action against them.

Hussain ran a travel business and there were also financial transactions between the duo. Recently, the woman had cut contact with him, after which he sent audio recordings of their conversation and threatened her. A police team traced Hussain to Guntur and arrested him.

Police said that the victim, who lived with her husband and a three-year-old son, had been distressed after she received messages on her phone from different numbers, in which the person threatened to share her obscene pictures to her husband.

She had informed her husband about the calls and blocked the numbers. On Tuesday, the husband left for work and had called her in the afternoon to check on her. Since, he did not answer or return his calls, he alerted his neighbours who found it locked from inside.

Neighbours broke open the door, entered the house and found her unconscious. Virugambakkam police reached the scene on information and moved her to a hospital where she was declared as brought dead.

Upon examining the woman’s phone, police found that she was in contact with Hussain, who ran a travels business and there were also financial transactions between them. Recently, she cut contact with Hussain after which he sent audio recordings of their conversation and threatened her.

Established in 1993, the hospital will continue providing tertiary and quaternary cancer care while expanding into cardiology, neurology and neurosciences, gastroenterology, pulmonology, spine and orthopaedics, urology, critical care and internal medicine. 

The upgraded facility has 300 beds, including 51 critical care beds, five operating theatres and a Cath Lab. It also features an advanced Cath Lab, a 24/7 dedicated stroke care unit, Tamil Nadu's first Zoom Endoscopy system, an advanced bronchoscopy suite and a specialised Sleep Lab. Existing oncology services, including CyberKnife, TrueBeam, bone marrow transplant (BMT), CAR-T Cell Therapy and Da Vinci robotic surgery, will continue to operate. 

Health Minister Dr KG Arunraj was the chief guest at the event, and Health Secretary Dr Darez Ahamed was the guest of honour. Dr Arunraj stressed the need for integrated healthcare systems, noting that patients with complex conditions often require coordinated, cross-speciality care. He also thanked Apollo for being among the first organisations to contribute Rs 1 crore to the government’s ‘Nalam TN’ initiative. 

Apollo Vice Chairperson Dr Preetha Reddy said that the expansion would extend the hospital’s legacy of specialised cancer care to comprehensive healthcare for entire families. Managing Director Suneeta Reddy said that bringing multiple specialities under one roof would facilitate seamless multidisciplinary care and improve patient outcomes.

The meeting, scheduled at the transport commissioner’s office on August 27, follows consultations held by the transport department with autorickshaw unions, drivers, consumer organisations and officials. The department had also directed regional transport offices to obtain representations from unions and drivers on the proposed fare revision.

Federation coordinator, S Balasubramanian, said, “All major autorickshaw unions have submitted a common proposal of Rs 60 for the first 1.5 km and Rs 30 for every subsequent kilometre.”

They have also sought a waiting charge of Re 1 per minute and a night-time fare of 1.5 times the normal tariff. “The meter fare has remained unchanged for 13 years despite a substantial increase in fuel, maintenance and other operating costs. All the unions have arrived at the same demand after considering the expenses involved in running an autorickshaw,” he added.

He pointed out that the government had earlier convened a tripartite meeting involving unions, consumer organisations and officials after the transport minister indicated that the chief minister wanted the fare issue addressed. The unions had submitted detailed representations covering drivers’ working hours, income, expenditure and vehicle maintenance costs.

The federation has also approached legislators, including MLAs from CPI and CPM, seeking their support for the fare revision. Balasubramanian said that the unions expected the government to take a decision during the ongoing Assembly session.

The second major demand is a clear policy on bike taxis. Balasubramanian said that the government had previously approached the court seeking restrictions on bike taxis, citing passenger safety and the absence of mandatory third-party insurance. “Bike taxis continue to operate through app-based aggregators despite the lack of a regulatory framework. We want the government either to enforce the existing restrictions or regulate the sector by making permits, driver badges, vehicle fitness and third-party insurance mandatory,” he stated.

Transport department had recently seized 52 vehicles allegedly operating as bike taxis and registered cases, he said, but added that enforcement alone would not resolve the issue. The unions have also proposed a government-backed app for autorickshaws to ensure transparent fares and reduce commissions charged by private aggregators.

Balasubramanian ensured that the unions were ready to cooperate with meter-based operations if a realistic tariff was notified and strictly monitored. “Nearly five lakh families depend on autorickshaw driving. The government should recognise this as a livelihood issue and announce the revised fare without further delay,” he appealed.

The final pier, P814, was cast near Medavakkam-I Metro station.

The stretch around Medavakkam includes some of the tallest piers in the package, reaching about 29 metres. The alignment crosses the existing Medavakkam Flyover at this height and includes a 57 metre steel girder span along a 125 metre radius curve.

Medavakkam-1 and Medavakkam-2 Metro stations are also being built at about 29 metres above road level. CMRL is now progressing with the erection of the remaining U-girders and construction of station buildings.
