The draft guidelines are now under discussion among departments and are expected to be released in the next four to six weeks, according to a senior CUMTA official.

The proposal is aimed at addressing a basic problem in the city's infrastructure planning. Different agencies build different pieces of the same street without a common design governing how they should fit together.

The officials acknowledged that several provisions already exist in Indian Roads Congress guidelines and in earlier guidelines issued by different agencies.

The difference, according to CUMTA, is that the requirements are currently spread across different documents and practices.

CUMTA is attempting to bring them together in one comprehensive, road-width-wise format, after studying existing guidelines as well as practices in major Indian cities and internationally.

The official said the proposed framework is also expected to acquire legal backing through the government notification. “Once the GO is issued, it will become the rule,” he said.

The draft divides roads into widths ranging from 9 metres to 60 metres, with different requirements for local streets, collector streets, sub-arterial roads and arterial roads.

It has a checklist of street elements that can be accommodated for each road width, including footpaths, cycle tracks, tree corridors, medians, service lanes, public transport infrastructure, Metro, parking and multi-utility zones.

“The road could be 36m on paper, but houses have come up on top of the road. Once that happens, creating the road later means relocation and substantial expenditure. The proposed framework is intended to prevent that by ensuring that the road network identified during planning is actually protected through subsequent development,” the official added, explaining why CUMTA has put the requirements into a single checklist.

Under the proposed approach, the carriageway, footpath, utility space and stormwater drain would be positioned in relation to one another so that water naturally moves towards the drain.

CUMTA has earmarked one metre specifically as a tree corridor in the road cross-section.

A 12-metre local street such as Conron Smith road and Prakasam salai for instance, has a six-metre carriageway with two lanes, two-metre footpaths on either side and one-metre tree corridors on both sides, without on-street parking.

The framework would primarily guide new assets and future works, while existing streets could be brought under it when major projects alter their geometry.

The latest session that was held on September 26, focused on Vivian Maier, the American street photographer whose photographs documented ordinary people, everyday moments and changing urban landscapes. Though her work remained largely unknown during her lifetime, the photographs she left behind became an important visual record of city life.

For Safrin, it was Maier’s instinctive approach to documenting people that made her work particularly relevant today. “I liked how she documented life around her without making her subjects pose for her, and most of them were anonymous, normal people. That approach to photography is important to creators as they attempt to document people around them,” Safrin says.

“This is something to keep in mind with Generative AI becoming increasingly prevalent in its ability to reproduce photorealistic images.”

Rather than focusing on technical perfection, the workshop encouraged participants to observe their surroundings, engage with people and find stories in moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

To introduce participants to Maier’s photographic practice, Safrin planned to collaborate with Kevin, an aspiring cinematographer from Cellage Filmlab, who would share his knowledge of film photography and his medium-format camera, similar to the one used by Maier.

Participants were given prompts such as “heavy”, “energy”, “old” and “enough”, which they could interpret through their own experiences and surroundings.

“Prompts like this make them think for a moment before capturing scenes in front of them. It makes the process intentional, as they think about the meaning and seek the subjects accordingly,” Safrin explains.

The choice of equipment was deliberately left open. Participants could use a film camera, digital camera or mobile phone.

“We had a mixed audience. Some had analogue cameras, some had digital cameras, some came with just their mobile phone. The devices they carry should not be a restriction to capture photographs or create something,” Safrin says.

For Safrin, this was an important part of Vivian Maier’s legacy. “I think a lot of us believe that we need a certain kind of device, or a certain amount of photography experience to document the world around us, but Vivian’s work affirms the principle that a person need not be academically trained to photograph the world around them, and they can do it just for the joy of it,” she says.

For Allen, an analogue photographer who enjoys documenting people in intimate settings, the workshop offered a chance to step outside familiar photographic spaces.

“As an analogue photographer who likes documenting people in an intimate setting, I felt that Vivian’s work in street photography broadened my horizons. It forces me to contextualise people in their surroundings and capture very ephemeral moments,” he says.

Allen brought his Nikon FM2 analogue camera, his first and only camera, to the workshop. Its limited settings allow him to concentrate on the subject rather than the technical possibilities.

“There’s something so organic about having just three settings to play with, and the rest of the experience is focused on the subject through the lens. In an increasingly digital world controlled and parameterised by infinite settings, it’s sometimes therapeutic to give up control through an analogue camera,” he says.

The photowalk also brought the question of consent into focus.

“Safrin taught us the importance of getting consent before starting the photowalk, and I think that’s something that’s overlooked quite a lot,” Allen says.

He recalls approaching a woman and asking if he could photograph her, only to find that she was not comfortable with it.

“When she wasn’t okay with it, it stuck with me. Some people like to exist without being captured, and that’s okay. Maybe we should learn to accept that some things are not meant to be captured.”

For Allen, the experience brought him back to the word ‘sonder’, the realisation that every stranger has a life as complex and meaningful as one’s own.

“To step into their boundaries for a moment felt like a privilege,” he says.

For Raghav, Maier’s story was as inspiring as her photographs. The fact that she documented thousands of rolls of film for the joy of it, without seeking validation, changed how he approached photography.

“Vivian flipped that completely. Now, I find myself noticing mundane everyday scenes and suddenly the ordinary world feels extraordinary. Now I want to capture every moment,” he says.

Having recently purchased a digital camera, Raghav appreciated the freedom it gave him to experiment.

“Digital gives me the freedom to experiment and make rookie mistakes without stressing too much,” he says.

For Abhinaya, a beginner who has attended a few photowalks to learn how to use a camera, it was The Chaos Club’s approach to creative learning that drew her to the workshop. She usually prefers photographing non-living subjects, but Vivian encouraged her to explore photographing people in everyday situations. “After Vivian Maier, it piqued my interest in keeping humans as subjects, and you can take a fabulous photo even in a daily scenario,” she says.

Although she is considering buying a digital camera, she used her mobile phone during the photowalk. “The prompts like ‘forgotten’ and ‘heavy’ made me stop and think, like, how can I capture it? So it gave me a new challenge to work on,” she says.

For Safrin, these different interpretations reflect the larger purpose of The Monthly Muse: encouraging participants to engage with an artist’s creative process and find their own means of expression.

The first edition focused on Salvador Dalí, followed by Leonardo da Vinci and Raja Ravi Varma. Each edition encouraged participants to approach art through their experiences and mediums.

“The participants thought just like the artists did and were able to translate their thoughts into art using different mediums. Those artworks were inspired by their personal experiences,” Safrin says. Details of the upcoming workshop will be announced on The Chaos Club’s Instagram page.

The teenager was admitted with high-grade fever, vomiting, loose stools, nasal bleeding and breathlessness.

Despite treatment for enteric fever, his condition worsened, with falling haemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets, deteriorating kidney and liver function, and markedly elevated ferritin and inflammatory markers.

The persistent fever, falling blood counts and inflammation prompted evaluation for secondary HLH. Bone marrow examination showed haemophagocytic activity, supporting the diagnosis of enteric fever-associated secondary HLH.

His condition progressed to DIC, followed by kidney and liver dysfunction. He developed ARDS and required mechanical ventilation.

A multidisciplinary team involving internal medicine, critical care, pulmonary medicine, haemato-oncology and infectious diseases treated the infection and hyperinflammatory response with intravenous antibiotics, corticosteroids, blood-product support and intensive care. “The bone marrow findings supported the diagnosis, enabling the team to address both the underlying infection and the associated hyperinflammatory response,” a doctor from Internal Medicine said. “Secondary HLH can be difficult to identify as its early features may resemble severe infection or sepsis.”

Harshad Reddy, director–group oncology and international business, Apollo Hospitals, said that the case highlighted the importance of early recognition and close coordination between specialities.

The patient improved, was weaned off the ventilator and shifted to the ward for physiotherapy and supportive care. He has since been discharged, stable, breathing independently and ambulatory, with follow-up advised.

The police arrested four persons, all residents of the same locality, in connection with the murder, which was an alleged fallout of an existing rivalry over turf war in the neighbourhood.

According to the police, the deceased N Ajith was standing outside his house on VR Pillai Street when the accused gang picked up an argument with him. As the verbal duel escalated, the gang rounded up Ajith and attacked him with machetes.

Hearing him scream, Ajith’s mother N Sarasu (56) rushed out of the house and pleaded with the gang to stop, but the gang allegedly attacked her too and fled the scene. Neighbours rushed Ajith and Sarasu to a hospital, where Ajith was declared as brought dead.

The Ice House Police registered a case of murder and began investigations. The four arrested are H Harish (26), P Harish (26), Sanjay V (24) and Bonda Rajesh B (25). Initial probe revealed that the deceased was acquainted with all the accused persons and Ajith and Bonda Rajesh were known rivals.

According to police, Ajith had attacked Rajesh in 2020, which resulted in the latter losing some fingers. Rajesh had since been planning revenge against Ajith, and he gathered others who had enmity with Ajith and attacked him.

The police said Harish is listed as category 'A' rowdy in police records and has 14 criminal cases, including murder, attempt to murder, criminal intimidation and assault, against him. Rajesh has 12 criminal cases pending against him.

Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin condemned the murder and raised concerns over the State's law-and-order situation.

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss said the rising number of murders has created safety concerns among the people. He noted that the police department is under the chief minister who must recognise his responsibility to protect all.

Inspector General (Intelligence) Asra Garg has been given additional charge as ADGP (Intelligence).

Inspector General AG Babu, who was serving as Additional Commissioner, Headquarters, GCP, has been transferred and posted as Commissioner, Salem City, replacing K Joshi Nirmal Kumar, who has been posted as IG (Modernisation) at the State police headquarters.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) N Devarani, serving as deputy director, Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption, has been posted as DIG, Salem Range. V Badri Narayanan, Superintendent of Police, Anti-Terrorism Squad, was posted as Deputy Commissioner (DC), Adyar. Deputy Commissioner AC Karthikeyan, who was on compulsory wait, has been posted as SP, Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board.

N Mathivanan, serving as SP, NIB-CID, has been posted as DC, St Thomas Mount Police District, while K Stalin was posted as SP, South Zone, CB-CID. Deputy Commissioner P Sundaravadivel has been posted as DC (Estate and Welfare), Greater Chennai Police.

Deputy Commissioner V Baskaran, serving in Washermenpet, has been transferred and posted as DC, Salem City, and DC Ankit Singh was posted as DC, Washermenpet.

R Stalin, who was on compulsory wait, was posted as SP, North Zone, Economic Offences Wing.

On being alerted, Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) officials barricaded the area to prevent accidents and initiated rectification work.

Locals said that the layer beneath the road had eroded as a 1,200-mm diameter sewage pipeline runs below the affected stretch. According to residents, sewage from Purasawalkam and Kellys is pumped to the old sewage pumping station on Perambur Barracks Road through the pipeline, which is around 50 years old. They said that deterioration of the pipeline over the years could have resulted in soil erosion and the subsequent collapse of the road.

The latest incident has also brought back concerns over repeated cave-ins at the same location. Similar sinkholes of comparable size were reported in October 2021 and November 2022, with officials attributing the earlier incidents to damage to the sewage pipeline.

Activist and Pattalam resident V Sathiya Balan alleged that authorities were adopting temporary measures by repairing the damaged portions of the pipeline instead of examining the condition of the entire pipeline. “A sinkhole has occurred three times in the last five years, putting the public at risk. CMWSSB should find a permanent solution instead of providing temporary relief by repairing the damaged portion every time,” he said.

A CMWSSB official said the cave-in occurred due to damage to the 1,200-mm RCC gravity main leading to the Purasawalkam old sewage pumping station. “The site has been barricaded and the contractor has begun rectification work. Instructions have been issued to expedite the work,” the official said.

The software has been developed in-house with the help of the MCC-MRF Innovation park, Tambaram.

Principal Prof Dr P Wilson said the number of volunteers available for scribing had been declining and that manual scribes did not always accurately reflect the articulation of students.

“MCC has been making efforts to make higher education inclusive and equitable for visually impaired students through its Student Services for the Differently Abled ecosystem and skill development initiatives with the help of the Help the Blind Foundation. This is another inclusive feature added to its services through an AI-powered interactive digital scribing platform with a voice-to-text conversion engine developed indigenously with higher accuracy by MCC-MRF Innovation Park student interns,” he said.

The new system is expected to be introduced for the third internal continuous assessment before the November 2026 semester exams.

Madras Christian College said the existing manual scribe system had several limitations, including transcription errors and in some case assistants could unintentionally influence students while writing their answers.

The new system will allow students to dictate their answers in English directly into a secure platform without depending on another person to transcript their thoughts.

The AI scribe will enable students to go through questions, repeat audio prompts and check word counts through voice commands or keyboard shortcuts. It will also support formatting functions such as bolding, underlining, rearranging paragraphs and inserting sub headings through spoken commands.

The command and dictation mechanism has been incorporated to distinguish software instructions from the candidate's answers. The system is designed to provide high accuracy voice recognition for both English and Tamil.

For examination security, the software will operate on a restricted and confidential server environment to prevent malpractice and protect assessment integrity.

Following discussions involving the Office of the Controller of Examinations, deans, heads of departments and the student support for differently abled team, the college decided to implement the system.

Training sessions and dry runs will be conducted for visually challenged students and departmental nodal officers before the formal assessments scheduled for next month.

Founded in 1857, the university entered its 170th year on September 5. A special logo for the year-long celebrations was also unveiled at the launch event. Higher Education Secretary Dheeraj Kumar participated in the event, while Higher Education Minister P Viswanathan did not attend.

The celebrations will involve students, faculty members, staff, and heads of departments across the university's five campuses.

Under the academic segment, ‘UoM Acumen 170’, an e-poster competition will be organised. ‘UoM Triumph 170’ will feature cricket and badminton competitions, while ‘UoM Mosaic 170’ will include dance, music and literary events.

The media initiative, ‘UoM Thirai 170’, will encourage students to create reels and short videos. An ‘Education for All’ awareness marathon will also be organised under ‘UoM Awaken 170’.

During the event, University Registrar Rita John appealed to the State government to allocate Rs 100 crore for the renovation and restoration of the historic Senate House, which she said requires immediate attention.

The university said the celebrations are aimed at showcasing its heritage, achievements and future aspirations.

The civic body has launched bio-remediation spraying using larger drones at the confluence of the North Buckingham Canal and the Cooum River.

The operation will be extended to the Cooum, Adyar and Buckingham Canal, with a drone deployed in each of the corporation's three regions.

Sameeran said that the drone-based method, which had shown results last year, targets both adult Culex mosquitoes and dengue larvae.

Larger drones are being used in waterways more than 30 metres wide, where manual spraying is difficult. Later, Sameeran inspected mosquito larvicide spraying and fogging operations on the Madras Medical College campus as part of dengue prevention measures.

“Chennai has witnessed a rise in fever cases over the past two months. And this month, the city had recorded more than 8,300 fever cases, including 1,775 confirmed dengue cases. Nearly 70% of dengue patients had recovered,” he said. “Around 90% of dengue cases are self-limiting, while about 10% require medical consultation and nearly 5% require hospitalisation.”

For source reduction in residential areas, the GCC has divided the city into 2,076 sectors and deployed 3,703 field workers.

The workers monitor 500 houses every week to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding sources.

The Corporation has also mapped 25,035 vacant plots across the city and is giving them special attention to prevent stagnant water from becoming breeding sites.

Regional Deputy Commissioner (North) Sweta Suman, City Health Officer, Chief Entomology Officer, zonal officers and other officials were present during the inspection.

Supply will be resumed before 02.00 P.M., if the works are completed.

The fares on the stretch range from Rs 10 to Rs 40. CMRL sources said the fare chart would be uploaded on the official website after the formal inauguration.

Initial services are expected to operate at 10-minute intervals, with around 15 trains likely to be deployed on the route.

The fare from Poonamallee Bypass to Poonamallee Bus Stand has been fixed at Rs 10, while trips to intermediate stations, including Poonamallee Government Hospital, Karayanchavadi, Kumananchavadi, and Kattupakkam, will cost Rs 20.

The fare will rise to Rs 30 for Iyyappanthangal and stations towards Porur, while a journey from Poonamallee Bypass to Vadapalani will cost Rs 40.

The Poonamallee Bypass-Vadapalani section forms part of Corridor 4 of Chennai Metro Phase II, which will eventually connect Poonamallee Bypass with Lighthouse. The operational stretch is around 14.6 km long and has 11 elevated stations.

The fare chart covers stations along the newly opened section, with the lowest fare applicable to short-distance journeys and the maximum fare of Rs 40 for travel between the two terminal points.

The new line will provide an alternative for commuters from Poonamallee, Kumananchavadi, Kattupakkam, Iyyappanthangal, and Porur, who currently depend heavily on road transport.

At Vadapalani, commuters will be able to connect with the existing Phase I Metro network, providing access to other parts of the city. The opening of the stretch is also expected to improve connectivity between the western suburbs and central Chennai.

The proposed opening comes after months of delay. The stretch had received final approval from the Commissioner of Railway Safety in May after obtaining safety clearance and complying with the stipulated conditions.

But the line was not opened as it awaited the inauguration schedule.

The man was arrested on Monday after a Mahila Court issued an arrest warrant to nab and imprison the absconding Raja, police said.

The police team led by the Inspector of Triplicane Police Station arrested Raja, 35, of Pallavan Salai here and produced him before the Mahila Court, which remanded him to judicial custody.

A release from the police said Raja's wife Sudha died by hanging in 2016, two years after marriage with him. A case of unnatural death was registered and investigated was taken up by the D-1 Triplicane Police Station.

Police investigation revealed that Sudha was harassed for dowry and abetted to commit suicide. Consequently, the legal sections of the case were altered to dowry harassment and abetment of suicide.

Raja was then aged 25.

He was arrested in 2016 and remanded to judicial custody.

Following the trial Raja, was declared guilty on May 31, 2022 by a Mahila Court which sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 15,000.

Subsequently, he appealed before the Madras High Court which in its judgment on August 25, 2026, upheld Raja as guilty and sentenced him to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment and levied a penalty of Rs 15,000.

The Mahila Court issued an arrest warrant to nab the absconding Raja and imprison him, the release said and added that the court order was executed by the Triplicane Police team led by the Inspector.

In a representation to the Railway Board Chairman, Southern Railway General Manager and Chennai Divisional Railway Manager on Thursday, the association recalled that the Chief Administrative Officer/Construction of Southern Railway had, in a reply dated June 23, 2025, assured that all railway works would be completed by October 30, 2025. However, as of September this year, the second span remains unfinished. 

“Handrail work had been continuing for several months, while construction materials and large boulders were yet to be cleared from the site, we don’t think it will be finished anytime soon,” said Augustine Roy Rozario, president of the association. 

While the attempts to contact the railway officials proved futile, the state highways department official said that the ROB work was expected to be completed by October 15. 

The four-lane ROB taken up in lieu of the LC-2 railway level crossing gate across the Pattabiram Military Siding (PTMS) line on the Chennai-Tiruvallur High Road (CTH Road), was approved by the State government in 2011 and construction began in March 2018 at a cost of Rs 78.32 crore. The portion opened in 2024 is carrying traffic in both directions leading to traffic bottlenecks. 

Residents claim that the problem was most visible at the junction near Pattabiram police station, which caters to traffic from Pattabiram, Tirunindravur and surrounding localities. The association has sought an inspection of the site and action to ensure completion of the remaining railway works.

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 Tuesday.

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.

Presented at The Collectors Room by Artiform, Mylapore, the exhibition brings together artists who work across different mediums and processes. It also reflects Artiform’s focus on supporting young and emerging artists by increasing visibility and creating opportunities for their practices. The exhibition runs until October 31.

At the heart of the exhibition is a simple question: can materials remember? Curator Isaiarasi says the artists look at materials not merely as tools but as elements that carry texture, history and a sense of time. “Each artist in this exhibition approaches material in a very different way. Some works are built through repetition, some through lines and marks and others through assembling many small elements to create something larger,” she says.

Kannan P’s works use wooden pieces, metal sheets and other materials, drawing from his travels and what he encounters along the way. The artist says the exhibition also grew from an existing friendship among the participating artists. “Most of us have known each other for a long time. We did a group show earlier and met Isaiarasi; that’s how this show came about. Most of us are working under senior artists and are close friends. In this exhibition, we have worked with multiple mediums, including metal sheets and wooden pieces,” says Kannan.

For him, travel is an important part of his practice. “I travel a lot and whatever I see around me, I create work with my journey,” he adds.

As a printmaker, Ramesh is drawn to the intricate and detailed process, which allows each work to evolve uniquely. Working across different printmaking techniques, he explores new ways of understanding form and meaning. His travels and experiences inspire works featuring birds, animals and fish, capturing the emotions and stories of nature.

The works exhibited are a reflection of his recent travels to Kochi.

“Using etching, woodcut and mixed media, I focus on boats as a central subject, symbolising the livelihood of the people of Kochi. In one work, dense tree roots engulf the boats, while in another, a school of fish moves alongside them.

The combination of wood and metal adds a quiet tension to the surface, suggesting how memory and place evolve. Through layered textures and flowing lines, the works capture quiet moments where land, water and human presence meet,” shares Ramesh.

While the artists differ in their choice of medium and approach, Isaiarasi says their practices come together through the idea of material carrying memory.

“A piece of wood can remind us of nature, a repeated mark can remind us of time, and a collection of small elements can make us think about how individual moments come together to form something bigger,” she says.

The footpath is used by a large number of people, including children and senior citizens, while customers visiting a popular ice cream shop nearby also have to cross the cables to reach the premises. Residents said the exposed cables could pose a risk of accidents and electrical leakage if they are damaged.

Stormwater drain works are currently under way on Paper Mills Road. Residents said the power cables were removed during the work and left exposed along the footpath and roadside. Even in some stretches where the drain work has been completed, the cables have not been properly laid underground, they said.

A shopkeeper in the area, Saravanan, said customers had to cross the exposed cables to reach shops. "When such exposed cables get damaged, they are temporarily repaired by wrapping tape around them. We have repeatedly complained to the authorities, but no action has been taken so far," he said.

Resident Srinivasan said the cables could become a safety hazard during the monsoon. "If the cables develop an electrical leakage during the monsoon, pedestrians and customers visiting nearby shops could be affected," he said.

TNPDCL officials said the cables were removed when the Greater Chennai Corporation carried out works on Paper Mills Road. "As the works have been completed, the cables are currently exposed at some places. They will be properly laid underground by tonight," officials said.

The park has children’s play equipment, including a slide, swing, 4-seater merry-go-round, duck rider and climbing ladder. However, empty liquor bottles and garbage are also found inside the premises.

Parents are concerned about allowing their children to use the play equipment due to the poor maintenance and safety concerns. Residents also alleged that some people consume alcohol inside the park at night and leave empty liquor bottles behind. They said the park, which was created for children, is being used for undesirable activities after dark. 

Ramya, a resident, whose house is located close to the park, said, “Some people consume alcohol in the area at night, and also inside the park. It’s painful to see a park meant for children being used for drinking. After 7 pm, when fewer children are around, some people engage in such activities. There is not enough monitoring in the evening and at night. CCTV cameras should be installed to improve security.” 

Another resident, Palaniappan, pointed to the overgrown greenery due to poor maintenance. “Some visitors throw food packets and snack covers inside the park, which has increased the garbage. More dustbins should be installed and the garbage should be removed daily. The overgrown plants should also be trimmed and the park cleaned.” 

Listening to these complaints, a senior Corporation official told DT Next: “Steps will be taken to remove overgrown plants and accumulated garbage from the park. Necessary measures will be taken to keep the park clean and ensure that it’s safe for children to use.”

Each building has eight flats and the structures were constructed in the 1970s. Residents said that the buildings had received some maintenance during the AIADMK regime, but there had been no proper maintenance in recent years.

They said walls, staircases and other portions of the buildings had deteriorated and some had occasionally collapsed, posing a risk to residents. Paulraj, a resident, said, “My friend had come here to attend a temple festival. He was climbing the staircase to the 8^th house in Block 42 when it suddenly collapsed. He was injured in the incident, after which residents on the upper floors have been unable to access their homes.”

Residents have been staying outside their houses since 9 pm on Saturday, near Madha Church. “A temporary place should be arranged for women and children to stay. Otherwise, there is a possibility of more accidents. Families with children are afraid that pieces of the building could fall and cause injuries. As we could not enter our houses, we stayed overnight in a festival pandal nearby,” he said.

Latha, another resident, said that several portions of the buildings, including walls and staircases, were damaged both inside and outside the houses. “Residents sleep in fear at night. If this situation continues, their safety will remain at risk. No action has been taken so far,” she said.

A TNUHDB official said that the board had received a complaint regarding the condition of the buildings. “We’ll discuss the issue with the managing director and take appropriate action,” the official said.

Under the revised academic scheme, student intake for the PG Diploma in Archaeology will also be revised.

The university has also reduced the annual fieldwork fee for the MA Ancient History and Archaeology programme offered under the self-supportive mode from Rs 30,000 to Rs 20,000 a year.

The changes are part of the revised academic regulations and schemes approved by the university for implementation from the 2026-27 academic year.

Meanwhile, the university has decided to suspend five certificate courses offered by the Department of Adult and Continuing Education.

The courses are Functional English and Public Speaking, Skin Care and Beauty Therapy, News Reading and Compering, Web Page Designing, and Women Studies.

The university said the courses had remained inactive for more than five years. It has proposed suspending them from the 2026-27 academic year.

The complainant, Ashok (27) from Rajasthan, runs a cellphone shop on Athipattan Street, Chintadripet.

On September 25, the accused, Sethuraman of Aminjikarai, lured Ashok to his car after shopping on the pretext of fetching money, pushed him inside, and threatened him over a Rs 10 lakh loan taken by his brother.

When the vehicle stopped near a mall in Anna Nagar, Ashok managed to escape. Police arrested Sethuraman and recovered 97 AirPods and gadgets worth Rs 1.5 lakh, along with an iPhone and the car.

He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.

The proposed elevated link, planned across the Adyar River, will offer direct connectivity to the airport's rear side, reducing dependence on the congested GST Road. This new route is expected to streamline both passenger and cargo vehicle movement.

This road proposal aligns with AAI's plans for a fifth terminal at the airport, designed to augment capacity and optimise the use of remote bays. This terminal project, stalled for several years, was revived by AAI in 2024.

The push for alternative access is also driven by the difficulties cargo vehicles face at the main entrance. Restrictions and heavy traffic on the GST Road often hamper freight movement, particularly vehicles arriving from other parts of the State, officials noted.

The elevated corridor across the Adyar has been mooted for some time. Following the State government's request to assess the impact of the proposed structures on the river's flow during normal, monsoon, and flood conditions, AAI had previously commissioned a hydrological study by the Centre for Water Resources, Anna University.

AAI has indicated its readiness to undertake the road project once the State government grants approval. Authorities will now review the latest DPR before the proposal advances to the implementation stage.

The development coincides with AAI's broader expansion of Chennai airport, with the integrated Terminal 3 also nearing completion.

The new elevated link is expected to complement this expansion by providing a crucial additional access route for passengers and cargo.

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 Monday.

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.

Two persons – Vicky (20) and Parthiban (26) – were arrested and police have detained six others for enquiry. The deceased was identified as Yuvanesh (26) of Kolumanivakkam near Mangadu.

Probe revealed that Yuvanesh allegedly sent obscene text messages to Vicky’s girlfriend and harassed her after which Vicky plotted to murder him. On Friday night, he called Yuvanesh for a discussion and when the two were talking, an argument broke out after which he assaulted Yuvanesh with a stone.

Parthiban too joined Vicky and the duo repeatedly assaulted Yuvanesh with stones and liquor bottles and killed him. The duo then tied a boulder to his body and dumped it in a nearby well.

Yuvanesh’s family had filed a missing complaint after which the police conducted investigations and learnt about what transpired. On Saturday, police and rescue personnel recovered his body from the well and sent it to Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for postmortem. Further investigation is underway. 

Police said that he was earlier an accused in a murder case and was cleared of the charges a few years ago. 

Probe revealed that he was in a relationship with a woman, who lived in Srinivasapuram in Korukkupet with her husband and two children. She broke up with Babulal and did not respond to his phone calls for the last few months, after which he decided to attack her. 

On September 18, she was sitting outside her house while her husband and children were inside. Police said Babulal approached the house from the back, poured petrol on her and set her afire before fleeing the scene. 

Hearing her screams, her husband and neighbours rushed to her rescue and took her to Stanley GH. She was later referred to KMCH for further treatment. The woman had suffered 50% burns and died without responding to treatment. 

The Greater Chennai Corporation fared badly with an income of Rs 4,431.80 crore against expenditure of Rs 5,295.01 crore in 2024-25, resulting in an annual deficit of Rs 863.21 crore. Its accumulated deficit stood at Rs 3,567.52 crore as of March 31,

The department raised 1,82,450 audit observations during the year, but only Rs 1.28 crore had been recovered in cash against objections settled as of May 31, 2026. Of the 4,229 institutions due for audit, scrutiny was completed in 4,217.

The audit identified seven major GCC observations totalling Rs 2.76 crore, including tender-procedure violations, delays in property-tax assessment and in the revision of demands, payments for road renovation work, deployment of conservancy workers for office duties, excess payment to a contractor, and expenditure on closed Micro Compost Centres.

Procurement practices also came under the scanner. The audit questioned Rs 20.09 crore spent through quotation-based procurement and execution of works in GCC zones and schools, instead of the open e-tender process prescribed under the Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Act and Rules.

Procurement for the Chief Minister's Breakfast Scheme was also flagged. The audit found that vegetables and other raw materials were procured through quotations rather than directly from the designated government agencies, as prescribed. The GCC maintained that the purchases were made through the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation and the Tamil Nadu State Palm Jaggery and Fibre Sales Cooperative Federation, citing Chief Secretary's guidelines. The objection remains pending for government orders.

The financial strain was not confined to Chennai. The 24 other city Municipal Corporations together recorded Rs 6,200 crore in revenue against Rs 7,560.81 crore expenditure, resulting in a combined annual deficit of Rs 1,360.80 crore. Their accumulated deficit stood at Rs 1,526.35 crore, while debt liability stood at Rs 3,055.24 crore, and recoverable tax stood at Rs 2,420.09 crore.

A key audit finding involved an estimated Rs 389.55 crore revenue loss across corporations due to the short collection of water supply and underground sewerage charges, with commercial and industrial buildings allegedly being charged residential rates.

Avadi was separately flagged for failing to levy property tax from the half-year in which CMDA completion certificates were issued, resulting in a reported revenue loss of Rs 75.71 lakh.

The audit also found cases where collections through cards, cheques and demand drafts were either not credited or short-credited to Corporation accounts. The combined amount involved in the affected corporations was Rs 2.54 crore, with Tambaram among those flagged.

There were wide differences in the financial performance of the 24 corporations. Tambaram recorded an annual surplus of Rs 168.78 crore and an accumulated surplus of Rs 573.52 crore, while Avadi posted an annual deficit of Rs 31.21 crore despite an accumulated surplus of Rs 31.66 crore. Several other corporations ended the year with both annual and accumulated deficits.

The report also recorded an annual deficit of Rs 527.86 crore and an accumulated deficit of Rs 3,007.56 crore among 137 municipalities.

“I came here completely on my own with so many second thoughts running at the back of my head,” says Prithvinka. Expecting awkward silences, she instead found herself welcomed by the host and the women around her. She began by talking to the host and the person sitting next to her and, by the end of the event, had interacted with almost everyone in the room.

The gathering, ‘Saree, Brunch & Art with Rafiky’, brought women together at Sashwatha Cafe, Anna Nagar, for an afternoon of sarees, mallipoo, brunch, mandala-making and conversations. But beneath the activities was a simpler idea: creating a space where people could meet without needing an existing friendship or professional connection.

For Jefin Manojline, Founder of MyRafiky, that idea comes from the connection between mental health and loneliness. “We started MyRafiky as a mental health community because we believed that mental health and loneliness are two sides of the same coin. You can have people around you and still feel incredibly alone,” Jefin says.

“I think what people are missing is intentional presence,” he adds. Everyday conversations can be rushed or distracted, whereas a space created specifically for connection allows people to listen and stay in the conversation.

When making friends becomes difficult

For Sahana, the gathering brought up a feeling she had been missing: making friends without an agenda. “As adults, we all look forward to networking with new people and sharing our LinkedIn IDs more than making friends. I sometimes used to wonder where the joy of making friends disappeared. I missed the times when the only reason someone came and said hi was to be my friend,” she says.

She had been curious about communities such as MyRafiky but was hesitant about attending alone. Eventually, she decided that waiting for someone to accompany her might mean never taking the step.

Prithvinka, too, came out of curiosity and a desire to do something for herself. Conversations soon moved beyond introductions, with women discussing friendships, navigating their 20s, figuring out life and the difficulty of meeting people as adults.

“It was comforting to realise that a lot of the things I thought were just my own thoughts were actually things other women were feeling too. I came in knowing nobody and somehow left knowing little pieces of so many people’s stories,” she says.

From strangers to a community

The shift from strangers to a sense of belonging happened gradually. For Prithvinka, it was the smiles and the realisation that others had arrived with the same uncertainty. The more they spoke, the more she felt like she was among her “girl gang”.

Jefin says MyRafiky’s focus is to ensure that such gatherings do not become merely Instagrammable experiences. The team introduces participants and guides conversations, while hosts remain attentive to anyone who might need help entering a conversation. “The aesthetic may bring someone into the room, but the quality of the interaction is what makes them want to come back,” he says.

According to Jefin, those interactions have sometimes continued long after the events. People who met through MyRafiky have gone on trips together, become close friends and even attended weddings of people they first met through the community. For someone wondering whether to attend alone, Jefin’s answer is simple: not knowing anyone is often what many people in the room have in common. Participants do not have to arrive confident or outgoing; they only have to take the first step.

For Sahana, “the hardest part is just walking through the door,” she says. “Once you’re there, the smiles, the conversations and the activities make it so much easier. And you never know, you might walk in alone and walk out with a little girl gang of your own.” For the next MyRafiky event, check their social media handles.

While non-discriminatory adult franchise in parliamentary and Assembly elections is a constitutional guarantee, the enumeration of voters and actual voting are governed by laws enacted by Parliament and rules and orders issued by the Election Commission of India.

Therefore, when a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was ordered during the Bihar poll, followed in several election-bound States, the Supreme Court did not interfere, except for the inclusion of Aadhaar as an identity card. They did not examine the actual format of an SIR, asking for several details which even an educated, middle-class person can answer.

The Bengal SIR proved to be the worst ever SIR, which even altered the course of election results. This led the SC to take suo motu action, forming judicial authorities to scrutinise deletions along with an appellate tribunal.

There are about 32 lakh appeals, and it may take several years to get disposed of. Even then, the SC did not stop the election and went on advising disenfranchised voters to be patient and that they have more opportunities to vote in their lifetime. It is only now that internal dissension within the ECI brought out the revised format of Form 6, by which several lakh voters were removed.

When the SC will decide these issues and guarantee a free and fair poll is anybody's guess. Only a fair and free selection of the ECI with guaranteed autonomy alone can bring in fair elections. With a bad umpire and match-fixing, we will have no good sport.

Govt has no mechanism to control AI; urgent safeguards needed to tackle ‘Bhasmasura’

Will the latest incidents of AI tools autonomously hacking computer systems, without prompts from human operators, lead to legal complications? If an AI agent independently executes a cyberattack, who should bear legal responsibility? How should law-enforcement agencies investigate and prosecute cross-border cyberattacks carried out autonomously by AI agents, particularly when the operator and victim are located in different jurisdictions? Is there a need for a dedicated international or nodal mechanism to coordinate investigations, preserve digital evidence, and determine jurisdiction when autonomous AI systems are involved in transnational cyber offences? More importantly, is India's existing legal and institutional framework equipped to deal with such threats?

-- R Chandrasekar, Chetpet, Chennai

Even the Supreme Court has grown alarmed over AI becoming an increasing threat through its usage by lawyers, judges, and Tribunals, and has sent out a warning totally banning its usage in judgment writing and cautioning lawyers to vouchsafe that they will not bring court judgments generated by AI usage.

As on date, the government has no mechanism to prevent AI usage (or misuse) in various activities in the administration of the country. In essence, it has no ways and means to control it. AI has actually become the proverbial "Bhasmasura", and its potential to cause a disaster is yet to be fathomed.

It is high time we wake up to study its potential harm, take steps to control its use, and create safeguards for the future defence of the country.

While three persons were arrested in connection with the case and premises of the former minister were searched two weeks ago, CCB officials on Saturday conducted searches at the house and office of the relatives of Muthukumar, one of the prime suspects in the case, who is now absconding.

Muthukumar was involved in financial transactions by claiming to get government approvals from private school managements at his company named Global 360 Degree in T Nagar, Chennai, and his relative Saravanan was found to have abetted him in the transactions, investigations have revealed.

On Saturday, police conducted searches in his relatives’ houses – Saravanan and Ramesh – in Kallakurichi, and the house and shop of Gokulakrishnan in Kallakurichi and seized 30 bank-related documents.

On September 16, the CCB had said that they had booked the former minister on corruption charges and launched simultaneous searches at nine locations in Chennai and Tiruchy

Earlier, on September 16, the CCB had said that they had booked the former minister on corruption charges and launched simultaneous searches at nine locations in Chennai and Tiruchy, and also places belonging to his aides Valadi Karthik, Arun Prakash and Prakash. Property documents, bank details, cheques and electronic devices were seized.

The case stems from a complaint filed by Elangovan, Secretary of the Federation of Associations of Private Schools in Tamil Nadu, with the Chennai City Police Commissioner. He alleged that a network had collected money from private school managements after promising to secure government approvals, including permanent recognition, upgradation, DTCP clearance and other clearances.

Based on the complaint, the CCB registered a case and arrested the prime accused, B.T. Arasakumar (59) of Saligramam, Chennai, on June 27. He was later remanded in judicial custody and detained under the Goondas Act. Two other accused, Suresh and Raja have also been arrested in the case.

Police said that over 250 people have been examined across Tamil Nadu, including several government officials from the School Education Department, and relevant government documents have been seized.

Preliminary inquiry has revealed that several crores of rupees were allegedly collected from 177 private schools on false assurances. Bank accounts linked to the accused, their family members and associates have been identified and frozen – 20 accounts linked to Arasakumar and his family and 29 accounts linked to another suspect Muthukumar are under financial scrutiny.

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 Sunday.

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 drive covered 635 government and Corporation-run schools and 899 private schools across all 15 zones. Around 3,214 workers were deployed to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding spots on school premises.

Teams removed 7,419 kg of unwanted materials that could hold stagnant water and collected 932 kg of discarded tyres. As part of preventive measures against mosquito breeding, 262 fogging and larvicidal spraying machines were deployed across the campuses.

The GCC has now extended similar preventive drives to college campuses across the city.

Civic officials have instructed school administrations to immediately remove stagnant rainwater, maintain sanitation standards and create awareness among students, teachers and parents about preventing vector-borne diseases.

The couple’s labour of love, Feli’s Kitchen, recently opened in Velachery. They serve a variety of northeastern cuisines, with a focus on Mizo flavours, hoping to introduce Chennaiites to cuisines they feel deserve greater familiarity.

Initially, the couple cooked meals from home for students and staff at IIT Madras. “We started by making meals for just a few people at the institution. But within a year and a half, we had around 750 steady customers,” says Marlon. The response inspired the couple to open a physical space.

A cosy space, the restaurant feels lived-in. There’s a guitar leaning against a wall, wind chimes swaying in the breeze, books tucked into corners, and photographs of customers, as well as the couple’s families and their staff, on the walls. A few tables away, plates of pork, rice and vegetables are being polished off, while the smell of something slow-cooked lingers in the air.

As the dishes made their way to our table, we began with the mango sticky rice. Cooked with coconut milk and sugar, the dessert is cooled before being topped with coconut cream, condensed milk and cubes of mango. The rice itself was soft and mildly sweet, with the coconut flavour coming through gently without overpowering the fruit. “We use seasonal Neelam mango for its aroma, while roasted sesame seeds add a slight nuttiness. My tip is to mix the coconut cream into the rice, so that every spoonful carries the flavour instead of leaving the cream only on top,” says Feli, who previously worked as a chef in a hotel.

Next, we sampled their pork curry, where the meat was cooked with mustard leaves procured directly from Mizoram, along with fresh kimchi and white cilantro. Instead of corn flour, they use potatoes and onions to thicken the gravy, explains Feli. The smoked pork curry brought another distinctly Northeastern flavour to the table. It was cooked with dry mushrooms, akhuni (fermented soybean), white cilantro, fresh kimchi, tomatoes and potato, with the fermented soybean adding depth. The Nampi pork chilli fry is where the heat picked up - with the pork cooked first and then stir-fried with fish sauce, a little soy sauce and chilli flakes. “A customer suggested replacing green chilli with chilli flakes would make this dish even better, and then this version became our fast-selling dish,” reveals Feli.

The roasted beef cubes were the highlight. Despite its name, the beef wasn’t deep-fried but slowcooked for nearly three hours with very little red chilli powder, turmeric and salt, until the meat turned soft and tender rather than chewy. “The long cooking allows the flavour of the beef to remain at the centre,” Feli explains.

The ramen was light, topped with mushrooms, carrots and beans, with a non-vegetarian option available too. Sesame seeds, green onions and finely sliced cabbage added texture, while the noodles were tossed with oil, onions and masala, making it a warm and savoury dish.

The vegetarian thali offered a true taste of the homely side of Feli’s cooking. It featured a simple potato fry, a broccoli and mushroom sauté, and akhuni with white cilantro. There was also eromba, a spicy mashed potato preparation made with banana blossom and fresh kimchi from Mizoram. “The dal curry, made with masoor and toor dal, comes from my sister-in-law Anitha’s recipe, while the bhindi fry is inspired by South Indian cooking but with less masala,” adds Feli.

What ties the meal together is that none of the dishes seems to be trying too hard. The flavours are built around ingredients that Feli knows and understands, including pork, fermented soybean, herbs, chillies, vegetables and rice, with cooking methods that keep the food close to its roots. For Feli, cooking is not just about getting the ingredients right, but about putting a little bit of yourself into what you make. “Food I love, I can cook. Food I don’t love, I can’t cook. Food is all about heart,” she says.

And perhaps that is what makes Feli’s Kitchen stand out. You do not simply leave having tried Northeastern food; you leave having tasted a little of Feli’s home, her memories and the way she believes food should be cooked, with heart.

The Municipal Administration and Water Supply department issued the GO after the GCC received complaints regarding the food supplied to cleanliness workers under the existing arrangement.

The GCC entered into a three-year arrangement to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to cleanliness workers. The system came into effect on November 15, 2025.

The GO noted that complaints about the food quality, timely distribution and hygiene deficiencies in the kitchens were received. Concerns were also raised over the quality of raw materials and utensils used for preparing and serving the food, as well as their maintenance.

Following this, the GCC sought the cleanliness workers' views on continuing the existing system. According to the GO, about 92 per cent of the workers expressed their preference for receiving a food allowance instead of meals.

Based on the feedback, the government has approved the discontinuation of the existing food-supply arrangement and authorised the GCC to provide a food allowance of Rs 50 per day to 24,264 cleanliness workers employed through private agencies, including Urbaser Sumeet and Chennai Enviro Solutions Private Limited.

The allowance will be calculated based on the number of days a worker attends duty and paid along with the monthly salary.

The annual expenditure towards the allowance is estimated at Rs 44.28 crore. The GCC will meet the expenditure from its own funds, the GO said.

The government has directed the GCC to implement the new arrangement after discontinuing the existing system of supplying meals to cleanliness workers.
