They also raised concerns over the construction quality.</p><p>"The SWD works are under way on Perambur High Road North Side. At Venkatraman Canal Street, we found structural defects and the execution is unacceptable. If the height is increased further, the road level will also have to be raised," said Raghu Kumar Choodamani, convener of the Perambur Neighbourhood Development Forum.</p><blockquote>A Corporation official assured that a slope will be constructed to match the existing road level of Venkatraman Canal Street </blockquote><p>He said engineers should inspect the structure and ensure that the work was executed according to the approved design without compromising public safety. He also pointed out that advertisement boards of commercial establishments had already begun encroaching on the elevated drain.</p><p>"If the officials fail to take immediate action, the pedestrian walkway could also be encroached upon, forcing people to walk on the busy road," he cautioned.</p><p>Forum members said the issue reflected a lack of coordination&nbsp;between&nbsp;the GCC, Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) and TNPDCL.&nbsp;They compared the work with SWD construction in Anna Nagar's Shanthi Colony, where drains were integrated with existing road levels. </p><p>"Senior engineering officials must personally inspect the site, verify the approved design levels against the actual execution, fix any damaged underground pipelines and restore a safe passage before these defects become permanent," said V Srinivasa Raghavan, a resident.</p><p>A GCC official, however, said, "The SWD was constructed to match the height of Perambur High Road. If we reduce the height, rainwater will flow onto Venkatraman Canal Street. We will provide a slope for Venkatraman Canal Street." </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Karnataka SIT nabs Chennai pharma distributor in spurious drug case

The arrest marks a significant development in the case following the arrest of the alleged kingpin, Prashanth Ranjan, police said on Wednesday.</p> <p>The arrest of the 7th accused, Balasubramanian, comes following the questioning of kingpin Prashanth Ranjan, who provided further details about the network and the involvement of others in the alleged fake drug manufacturing and distribution racket, along with other clues gathered during the investigation.</p><p>After being produced before the court, Balasubramanian was remanded in SIT custody for seven days for further interrogation.</p><p>Balasubramanian, identified as a pharma partner based in Chennai, was a partner of Prashanth Ranjan in DM Pharma, a pharmaceutical company. The investigation has revealed that he allegedly played a key role in the manufacture and distribution of counterfeit medicines. The SIT is interrogating the accused to gather information about the network involved in the crime.</p> <p>Earlier, the SIT arrested Prashanth Ranjan Babu at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on Monday, after he returned to India from Azerbaijan.</p><p>According to police, Prashanth had allegedly fled to Azerbaijan following the exposure of the fake medicine network and was traced there by the investigating team.

But before she became a divine figure, she was a young girl who wrote openly about love, desire and her longing to be with Krishna. Dr Anita Ratnam brings this lesser-seen, deeply human side of Andal to the fore in Naachiyar Next, which marks its 25th performance on October 3 at Rukmini Arangam, Kalakshetra.</p>  <p>Presented by Narthaki Global Media, the production retells Anita’s Naachiyar, which premiered in 2003. Conceived and performed by Anita, the work draws from the poetry and life of Andal, the ninth-century mystic poet who was elevated to goddess status within a few centuries of her birth.</p><p>Anita’s interpretation takes a feminist reading of Andal, bringing attention to the poet’s expressions of desire, personal bhakti and transgression. “My work focuses on Andal as a teenage girl, before she became a goddess and, therefore, untouchable. I want to explore her joy, innocence, exuberance and adoration and then the passion that emerges in her. Her poetry is erotic, which people don’t seem to grasp,” says Anita.</p><p>The production also explores the sensual and personal imagery in Andal’s poetry, which the dancer feels is often overlooked. “She talks about nature, community and prosperity, but she also talks about herself.”</p><p>Naachiyar Next runs for 70 minutes and is a dance-theatre work with an ensemble of 12 people on stage. The production has evolved considerably since its first performance in 2019 at Manjakkudi. “From that version, we have changed so much. The work itself has expanded, the experience has deepened and it has become more of a theatre and dance work. I am the narrator, translating Andal’s medieval Tamil into English,” adds Anita.</p><figure><img alt="Anita Ratnam" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-01/5ue9xjcz/Anita-Ratnam.jpg" /><figcaption>Anita Ratnam</figcaption></figure><p>Anita grew up in a family where Andal’s songs were part of their everyday life. “I have danced Andal since I was nine for my arangetram. I grew up in a generation where everyone had to learn one Andal dance. She has just stayed with me. I have also performed Andal in solo and group productions over the years,” she says. That familiarity has also allowed Anita to keep discovering new dimensions in Andal’s work. “She continues to inspire me. I am always finding new dimensions to her poetry, even after so many years of performance,” she shares.</p><p>In Naachiyar Next, Anita takes on multiple roles, including that of the narrator, sutradhar, foster mother and inner conscience. Dancer Nandhini Subbulakshmi plays Goda Andal.</p><p>Anita is particularly interested in bringing the young woman behind the divine figure into focus. According to tradition, Andal was found as a baby in a tulsi garden near the Vishnu temple in Srivilliputhur and was adopted by the priest. Her birth parents remain unknown, but her poetry and devotion to Krishna have endured. “Andal had an amazing imagination. She left behind 173 poems and is perhaps the most painted, sung and danced female mystic poet in India. She is also the only one to have her own temple and to have been elevated to the status of a goddess,” Anita tells DT Next.</p> <figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-01/uf7v2bhd/pic.jpg" /></figure><p>She points out that while India has several revered women mystic poets, Andal occupies a distinct place in Tamil religious and cultural life. “There are Mirabai and saint poets from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kashmir and many places. They are all venerated, celebrated and respected; but nobody is worshipped like Andal,” she says.</p><p>Andal’s presence remains particularly strong during Margazhi, when her verses are recited every day. For Anita, however, her relevance extends beyond temple traditions and ritual. “Andal is considered the essence of Tamil, almost an embodiment of the language itself. There is a famous saying, Thamizhum Andal, Arangamum Andal. She resonates across communities because she was not just a revered figure, but also a poet and a rebel. These are the aspects of Andal that I have chosen to explore and highlight in my work,” Anita says.</p><p>With 25 performances and a 16-member team taking the production across the country, Anita says the response has encouraged her to continue exploring Andal while reaching audiences who may not know her story. “There are many repeat audiences and that gives you a testament of success. But I want to reach new audiences also,” concludes the dancer.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Sewer works: GCTP announces traffic diversion near Kasimedu</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/sewer-works-gctp-announces-traffic-diversion-near-kasimedu</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/sewer-works-gctp-announces-traffic-diversion-near-kasimedu#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b13569b2-2633-4a75-a925-9ed40e2cb3f2</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:52:01 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-01T01:52:01.572Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Greater Chennai Traffic police,Kasimedu,traffic diversion</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/h-upload/2024/04/01/813422-barricade.webp" width="1500"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ representative image of traffic diversion]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ representative image of traffic diversion]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/h-upload/2024/04/01/813422-barricade.webp?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The Greater Chennai Traffic Police (GCTP) announced traffic diversions in Kasimedu from Thursday (October 1) as the Metro Water has proposed to construct a collapsed sewer door on SN Chetty Road-Jeevarathinam Salai junction (near Kasimedu signal).

The programme also saw the distribution of 100 Dignity carts to transgender women as part of the foundation’s efforts to support livelihoods.</p><p>Speaking during her interaction with Apsara Reddy, Dia reflected on her own sustainability journey, stressing that meaningful change begins with small, consistent choices. She spoke about carrying a reusable bag and a metal water bottle that she has used for more than 11 years — a habit that, she said, has helped her refuse more than 12,000 plastic bottles.</p><p>Her other everyday practices include keeping the air conditioner at 24 degrees, refusing to waste food, and reusing, repurposing, composting or distributing food while it is still edible. She also spoke about sustainable fashion, saying one of the biggest lessons she has learnt is to “refuse the desire to purchase” and to ask how long she will use something, who made it, and what impact it has on the environment and human health.</p><p>Dia also reflected on nature’s ability to recover. Recalling trees in Mumbai that grew new branches after being damaged by storms and infrastructure work, she said the experience reminded her that “nature persists.”</p><p>When asked to share practical actions people could adopt, Dia challenged the audience to embrace everyday sustainable choices. These included refusing single-use plastics, eating local and seasonal produce, avoiding unnecessary plastic packaging, segregating and composting household waste, switching to LED bulbs, conserving electricity, nurturing trees, and supporting organisations working for nature conservation.</p><p>Underlining the vision behind the effort, Apsara said, “It’s not just the number of trees we plant,” pointing to the 10,000-tree plantation initiative and the 100 Dignity carts for transgender women. She also urged members of the Good Deeds Club to cultivate compassion, describing it as something that brings growth, meaning and purpose.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>NGO brings tribal students to Chennai for education exposure</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/ngo-brings-tribal-students-to-chennai-for-education-exposure</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/ngo-brings-tribal-students-to-chennai-for-education-exposure#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6465fbf3-4db8-4e13-b9ab-9f6cbdfbfa50</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 02:09:45 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-01T02:09:45.403Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>NGO,education,Tribal Students</media:keywords><media:content height="562" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2023-02/fa789fc4-3d7c-4a59-9daa-f68843e81182/Untitled_design__12_.jpg" width="1000"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2023-02/fa789fc4-3d7c-4a59-9daa-f68843e81182/Untitled_design__12_.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Fifty tribal students from Hasanur and surrounding hill regions of Erode are set to visit key educational and scientific institutions in Chennai as part of a two-day educational exposure programme starting Wednesday. The goal is to provide tribal children with greater exposure to higher education, science, technology and new learning opportunities.</p><p>It is organised by the Rights Education and Development Centre (READ), a non-profit working for the past 25 years in Sathyamangalam and Erode regions on education, healthcare and livelihood development among tribal and other marginalised communities.</p><p>Students will visit Loyola College, Madras School of Social Work (MSSW), Marina Beach, IIT Madras, Anna Centenary Library and Birla Planetarium. The visits are intended to give students an opportunity to directly experience the educational environment and understand the opportunities available in higher education and technology.</p><p>A member of READ said, “The programme is also expected to help students develop greater awareness about pursuing higher education. The challenges faced by students in the hill regions are particularly significant, with many travelling to school and colleges amid areas where encounters with elephants, tigers and other wildlife are a concern. These circumstances add to the difficulties involved in accessing education and transportation.”  </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Kaveri TBM completes breakthrough at Chennai&apos;s Kilpauk Medical College Station</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/kaveri-tbm-completes-breakthrough-at-chennais-kilpauk-medical-college-station</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/kaveri-tbm-completes-breakthrough-at-chennais-kilpauk-medical-college-station#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6f9b25e8-f73a-4e75-8b71-70416368e81b</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:53:43 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-01T01:53:43.212Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai Metro Rail Limited,Kilpauk Medical College,Tunnel Boring Machine</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/dw2rt2nt/1-22.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"></media:title><media:description type="html"></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/dw2rt2nt/1-22.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) achieved tunnelling milestone in Phase-II Corridor-3 with the successful breakthrough of the downline Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) 'Kaveri' at Kilpauk Medical College (KMC) Station here on Tuesday.

The initiative, originally launched on August 22, was briefly paused to ensure complete coverage of targeted households as bag distribution continues.</p><p>According to the GCC, civic officials reported that dry waste bags and monitoring stickers had been distributed to 45,000 of the targeted 50,000 households as of September 28.</p><p>A senior official told DT Next, “The remaining distribution work is expected to be completed shortly. Once all targeted households receive the materials, the official 40-day challenge will begin. At the conclusion of the campaign, prizes will be awarded to the households demonstrating the best source-segregation practices.”</p><p>As per the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules 2026, to improve segregation at source, biodegradable, non-biodegradable, sanitary and hazardous waste have to be separately disposed of. The official also stated that the Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) initiative was already yielding positive results.</p><p>“Waste segregation at the household level has jumped from 35% to 64% among residents who have received the distribution bags,” the official added. “The main idea behind this activity is to foster knowledge and understanding among residents to boost household waste segregation.”</p><p>P Moorthi, a resident of Bharat Nagar in Adambakkam, shared his experience: “For over two years, even before this 40-day initiative, we’ve been submitting wet and dry waste separately. Now, we’re segregating waste into four categories. Cleanliness workers visit daily and consistently remind every household to keep their waste segregated.”</p><p>However, pointing out a gap in the household collection, a resident of Himanchal Nagar in Ward 165 noted that while residents continued to segregate waste, dedicated red bins for sanitary waste were not yet available on all collection vehicles. Workers currently collect sanitary items separately using plastic covers or black bins, and make a note of this on the sheets pasted outside homes.</p><p>To further improve waste management, the official directed the private contractor, Urbaser Sumeet, to place a dedicated bin for sanitary waste on Battery Operated Vehicles (BOVs). A spokesperson from Urbaser, said: “As of now, 3 bins are used under 2021 rules – green, blue, and black for wet, dry and special care waste. But 2026 regulations mandate separate sanitary waste collection in a red-coloured bin. Orders are placed to procure red colour bins. When it arrives, it will be distributed to BOV drivers.”</p><p>A BOV driver in the Alandur zone lamented his daily challenges: “I cover 23 streets in ward 165; most residents comply, but a few streets lag. Some residents in Lingam Street are harsh, telling us to segregate the garbage ourselves. This takes time. Although my official shift ends at 2 pm, I frequently extend my working hours, leaving little time even to take a lunch break.”</p><p>Ward 179 DMK councillor Kayalvizhi Jayakumar stated that source segregation was progressing well in residential areas like Kalakshetra Colony, but admitted that achieving it in slum pockets was a persistent challenge.</p><p>Another senior GCC official expressed difficulty in expanding the drive city-wide. “Bag procurement requires funding. In the first-phase, bags were secured via corporate CSR initiatives. Further expansion depends on securing additional funds,” he added.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Nine-year-old boy strangled to death by mother&apos;s live-in partner</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-nine-year-old-boy-strangled-to-death-by-mothers-live-in-partner</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-nine-year-old-boy-strangled-to-death-by-mothers-live-in-partner#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">3e42c50d-2fe0-4394-9b89-d7e4027880b0</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:05:30 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-30T16:05:30.555Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Koyambedu,child</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/3aya8s4n/1-25.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Nine-year-old boy strangled to death by mother's live-in partner]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/3aya8s4n/1-25.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Angry at his live-in partner over a petty quarrel, a 38-year-old man allegedly strangled her nine-year-old son, in Koyambedu on Tuesday night.

A few months ago, she entered into a relationship with Tamilselvan of Kovilambakkam, who works as a loadman in the Koyambedu wholesale market. Later, he moved into her home and lived with her and the child.</p><p>However, their relationship soured after he began accusing the woman of speaking on the phone regularly with another man. This led to frequent quarrels between them, said the police.</p><p>On Tuesday evening, when Tamilselvan and Poovarasi were at the Koyambedu bus terminus, an altercation broke out between him and some women there. Furious that Poovarasi did not support him during the quarrel, he went home in anger.</p><p>A little while later, he allegedly called her over phone and threatened to hurt her son and disconnected the call. Soon afterwards, Tamilselvan called Poovarasi again and told her that he killed Tarun.</p><p>Shocked by this, Poovarasi rushed home, only to find Tarun lying unconscious and Tamilselvan missing. She immediately alerted the authorities, who rushed Tarun to a hospital where he was declared as brought dead.</p><p>The CMBT police registered a murder case and moved Tarun's body to the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for post-mortem examination.</p><p>The police have launched a search for Tamilselvan.

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.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/burst-in-the-main-distribution-pipeline-burst-causes-massive-sinkhole-on-gnt-road-at-puzhal">4-metre deep sinkhole on GNT Road near Puzhal causes traffic chaos

Each edition explores a different artist, with participants eventually presenting their interpretations in an exhibition at the end of the year.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“This is something to keep in mind with Generative AI becoming increasingly prevalent in its ability to reproduce photorealistic images.”</p> <figure><img alt="Shot by Abhinaya" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/abpojjb5/IMG-20260929-WA0005.jpg" /><figcaption>Shot by Abhinaya</figcaption></figure><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Participants were given prompts such as “heavy”, “energy”, “old” and “enough”, which they could interpret through their own experiences and surroundings.</p><p>“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.</p><p>The choice of equipment was deliberately left open. Participants could use a film camera, digital camera or mobile phone.</p> <figure><img alt="Shot by Raghav" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/7f4ekq0c/IMG-20260929-WA0008.jpg" /><figcaption>Shot by Raghav</figcaption></figure><p>“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.</p><p>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.</p><p>For Allen, an analogue photographer who enjoys documenting people in intimate settings, the workshop offered a chance to step outside familiar photographic spaces.</p><p>“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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“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.</p><p>The photowalk also brought the question of consent into focus.</p> <figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/qcysimkb/SAVE20260929154552.jpg" /></figure><p>“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.</p><p>He recalls approaching a woman and asking if he could photograph her, only to find that she was not comfortable with it.</p><p>“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.”</p><p>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.</p><p>“To step into their boundaries for a moment felt like a privilege,” he says.</p><p>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.</p> <figure><img alt="Safrin" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-30/pjjnpmwi/IMG-20260929-WA00111.jpg" /><figcaption>Safrin</figcaption></figure><p>“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.</p><p>Having recently purchased a digital camera, Raghav appreciated the freedom it gave him to experiment.</p><p>“Digital gives me the freedom to experiment and make rookie mistakes without stressing too much,” he says.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>“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.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>DT Next Campus | Applications open for Nirankari Rajmata Scheme; here is how you can apply

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>CUMTA has earmarked one metre specifically as a tree corridor in the road cross-section.</p><p>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.</p><p>The framework would primarily guide new assets and future works, while existing streets could be brought under it when major projects alter their geometry.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Apollo doctors help 17-year-old recover from multi-organ failure in Chennai</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/apollo-doctors-help-17-year-old-recover-from-multi-organ-failure-in-chennai</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/apollo-doctors-help-17-year-old-recover-from-multi-organ-failure-in-chennai#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">d275e30a-268f-4400-9f28-76bf29cca6ef</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-30T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>doctor,Teenager,Apollo Hospital,multi-organ failure</media:keywords><media:content height="349" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/0akd6low/201606121355382727_Kidney_racket_Three_Apollo_doctors_likely_to_be_questioned_SECVPF.gif" width="620"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Apollo Hospital]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Apollo Hospital]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/0akd6low/201606121355382727_Kidney_racket_Three_Apollo_doctors_likely_to_be_questioned_SECVPF.gif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A 17-year-old student has recovered after enteric fever triggered secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which progressed to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi-organ dysfunction at Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet here. </p><p>The teenager was admitted with high-grade fever, vomiting, loose stools, nasal bleeding and breathlessness.</p><p>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.</p><p>The persistent fever, falling blood counts and inflammation prompted evaluation for secondary HLH.

<p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Ahead of the much-anticipated inauguration of the line by <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/indias-prime-minister-narendra-modi">Prime Minister Narendra Modi</a> on October 11, the Chennai Metro Rail Limited has worked out the fare structure for the 14.64-km <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/poonamallee">Poonamallee</a> Bypass-<a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/vadapalani">Vadapalani</a> Phase II corridor.</p><p>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.</p><p>Initial services are expected to operate at 10-minute intervals, with around 15 trains likely to be deployed on the route.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The Poonamallee Bypass-Vadapalani section forms part of Corridor 4 of Chennai Metro Phase II, which will eventually connect Poonamallee Bypass with Lighthouse.

But as capabilities expand, safety safeguards must keep pace, says Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/iit-madras">IIT Madras</a>. Excerpts:</p><div><div class="question"><p>AI is moving from chatbots that answer questions to agentic systems that can take actions and interact with other AI systems. Does this fundamentally change the risk equation?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>Yes. We’re moving towards systems where one AI agent can set a task for another AI programme or agent, communicate with it and potentially interact with the outside world. That gives AI much broader capabilities, but also creates the possibility of unintended consequences that we may not be able to control. Even one life lost because of an AI system’s unintended action would be too high a cost. That’s why we need strong guardrails and safety engineering. AI harnesses and narrow, custom-built solutions can help control what these systems are allowed to do.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>What AI development do you think the public has not fully understood?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>There are important developments beyond the race to build larger models. Work around understanding the human genome and mutations across genes, including what has been described as the Genome Atlas, could have significant implications for healthcare. At the same time, AI does not always have to be enormous to be useful. Small models can already perform specific tasks effectively. We use AI in everyday systems such as voice assistants, navigation and logistics. The important question is increasingly how safely and effectively we apply AI, rather than simply how large we can make it.</p></div></div><figure><img alt="Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), IIT Madras" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/2h0bxumu/WSAI-head-2.jpeg" /><figcaption>Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), IIT Madras</figcaption></figure><div><div class="question"><p>Deepfakes, synthetic voices and AI-generated misinformation are becoming increasingly convincing. Are we reaching a point where people cannot trust what they see online?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>The problem existed even before generative AI. Fake messages circulated on WhatsApp and people believed them because they aligned with what they already believed. AI has made the problem more powerful by making convincing audio, video and images easier to create. People need to develop a habit of verification. If a news story sounds too good to be true, it probably needs to be verified. Industry should provide clear labels or watermarks for AI-generated and AI-modified content. Malicious actors may remove them, so important information should always be independently verified.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>AI is also being used by cybercriminals. Can it make attacks more sophisticated and difficult to detect?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>Certainly, but the same technology can strengthen cyber defence. It’s becoming an arms race between attackers and defenders. AI can help automate attacks and identify vulnerabilities, but it can also help organisations detect unusual behaviour and respond faster. The advantage will partly depend on resources and expertise. India already has strong academic capabilities in cyber security, including at institutions such as IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur. That capability needs to keep developing.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>Are we effectively building AI engine first and developing brakes later?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>In many ways, yes. Building AI capability is easier than building reliable safeguards around it. The consequences of a mistake are not always immediately visible, making safety engineering particularly difficult.</p><p>Governments across the world are still developing appropriate norms and regulations. Larger AI companies also have a responsibility to self-police, disclose significant incidents and be honest about the limitations of their systems. Voluntary commitments can help, but responsible industry behaviour and public safeguards are both necessary.</p></div></div><aside><cite>Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), IIT Madras</cite>Every job is likely to change. Some entry-level roles could be significantly affected, but AI will also create new roles, including forward-deployed engineers and data annotators. There’s no precise number for jobs AI will create or eliminate because the technology is changing too quickly. We should instead prepare people for changing skill requirements</aside><div><div class="question"><p>You have said AI replaces skills rather than simply replacing jobs. What does that mean for workers, especially those entering the job market?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>A job is usually a bundle of skills and tasks. AI may replace some tasks while leaving other parts of the job intact. For example, in a BPO role involving OTP verification, customer interaction and routine information processing, some activities can become autonomous while others remain assisted or supervised. So every job is likely to change. Some entry-level roles could be significantly affected, but AI will also create new roles, including forward-deployed engineers and data annotators. I would not give a precise number for jobs AI will create or eliminate because the technology is changing too quickly. We should instead prepare people for changing skill requirements.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>USA and China have huge advantages in capital, computing power and frontier AI. Where should India place its bet?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>India should continue frontier research because we need technical depth, expertise and capability for strategic and national-security applications. But there is also an enormous opportunity in AI diffusion — taking frontier AI to people and enterprises at the right price and making it work reliably in real-world conditions. The last mile has not been completely solved. Some companies have even rolled back AI pipelines because of errors or costs. India can build robust applications that solve practical problems at an affordable price. That is a major opportunity.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>If you had to identify one immediate priority for India to move from being an AI consumer to an AI creator, what would it be?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>We need to develop and deploy useful AI ourselves rather than waiting for solutions from elsewhere. That requires investment in talent, research, applications and the wider ecosystem. We should pursue frontier research while simultaneously focusing on diffusion — taking AI into Indian enterprises, public services and everyday applications at the right cost. Combining deep technical capability with large-scale deployment can help India become a creator rather than merely a consumer.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>India’s work on Indian-language AI is often described as a unique advantage. Can language become India’s AI moat?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>India is doing excellent work in multilingual AI. IIT Madras, Sarvam, AI4Bharat and IIT Hyderabad are contributing significantly, and some of the work is world-class. But language alone may not remain a permanent moat. Global companies are also investing in Indian-language data and models. Our broader advantage is diversity — social, cultural and economic. India has highly developed environments alongside resource-constrained regions, many languages and very different deployment conditions. If we learn to build AI that works across that diversity and under resource constraints, that could become a much broader global advantage.</p></div></div><aside><cite>Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), IIT Madras</cite>Tamil Nadu should not wait for AI solutions to arrive from elsewhere. Healthcare, manufacturing, automobiles, GCCs and fintech all offer opportunities to develop indigenous AI applications. We need to bring AI talent together with domain knowledge and invest in developing solutions centred here</aside><div><div class="question"><p>Tamil Nadu has strong sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, automobiles, GCCs and fintech. Where do you see the biggest opportunity for AI?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>Tamil Nadu should not wait for AI solutions to arrive from elsewhere. Healthcare, manufacturing, automobiles, GCCs and fintech all offer opportunities to develop indigenous AI applications. The State has data, domain expertise and people who understand these industries. We need to bring AI talent together with that domain knowledge and invest in developing solutions centred here. The opportunity is not merely to use AI but to build products and capabilities that can be taken to other markets.</p></div></div><div><div class="question"><p>Chennai faces persistent challenges involving flooding, water management, traffic, pollution and urban planning. Can AI genuinely address these problems?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>Technology can provide solutions, but implementation is the bigger challenge. IIT-Madras has expertise in urban water management and water treatment, including wastewater reclamation. Experts have also worked on flooding-related problems and interacted with cities facing similar challenges.</p><p>But having a solution and implementing it on the ground are different things. If storm water drains are blocked by construction debris, technology alone cannot prevent flooding. Traffic is similar. AI can improve routing, signals and traffic management, but there are physical limits to road capacity. Public transport and infrastructure also have to be strengthened. Not every urban problem is purely technological.</p></div></div><aside><cite>Prof Balaraman Ravindran, Head of the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), IIT Madras</cite>A student from a Tier-II college may understand an agricultural problem extremely well but may not know how to build a product, find customers or provide technical support. AI Studio aims to develop that product mindset</aside><div><div class="question"><p>IIT-Madras has launched AI Studio to help turn AI research into companies. What gap is it trying to bridge?</p></div><div class="answer"><p>We have brilliant students, researchers and entrepreneurs with excellent ideas, but there is often a gap between having an idea and turning it into a product. A student from a Tier-II college may understand an agricultural problem extremely well but may not know how to build a product, find customers or provide technical support. AI Studio aims to develop that product mindset. The other major challenge is patient capital. Deep-tech companies may need 2-3 years before their potential becomes clear. India needs more investors willing to take that long-term risk. With the backing of IIT Madras, AI Studio can improve the chances of promising ideas becoming viable companies.</p></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Where materials hold memories</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/where-materials-hold-memories</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/where-materials-hold-memories#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">1367f89f-c11a-4849-8987-22c9846dfa56</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:51:33 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-29T01:51:33.105Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Merin James</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371182</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Mylapore,exhibition,Artist,art</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/v67ex8rr/1.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Kannan with his work.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Kannan with his work.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/v67ex8rr/1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Material Memoir, curated by Isaiarasi Annamalai, brings together works by Kannan P, Mani Murugesan, Ramki Ravi, Ramesh N, Surya S and Yogeshwaran V, exploring the relationship between material, process and memory in<a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/chennai-event"> contemporary art</a>. </p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><figure><img alt="Wood work by Ramesh" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/28sbkd7d/Wood-work-by-Ramesh.jpeg" /><figcaption>Wood work by Ramesh</figcaption></figure><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The works exhibited are a reflection of his recent travels to Kochi.</p><p>“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.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/stories-behind-gond-and-pattachitra-art">This Chennai exhibition brings stories behind Gond and Pattachitra art

Through layered textures and flowing lines, the works capture quiet moments where land, water and human presence meet,” shares Ramesh.</p><p>While the artists differ in their choice of medium and approach, Isaiarasi says their practices come together through the idea of material carrying memory.</p><p>“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.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai Citizen Connect: Exposed e-cables raise safety concerns on Paper Mills Road</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-exposed-e-cables-raise-safety-concerns-on-paper-mills-road</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-exposed-e-cables-raise-safety-concerns-on-paper-mills-road#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">0fecefe3-5002-4fa4-88da-32297e20117d</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:49:21 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-29T01:49:21.202Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Perambur,Chennai Citizen Connect,Chennai civic issues,e-cables</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/5kscpdbo/1-3.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Power cables lying on the ground besides SWDs on Paper Mills Road n Perambur]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Power cables lying on the ground besides SWDs on Paper Mills Road n Perambur]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-29/5kscpdbo/1-3.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Exposed <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tnpdcl">TNPDCL </a>power cables lying along the footpath near Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine on Paper Mills Road in <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/perambur">Perambur </a>have raised safety concerns among pedestrians and residents, particularly with the monsoon approaching.</p><p>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.

The incident has heightened concerns among families living in six TNUHDB buildings in the locality.</p><p>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.</p><p>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<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;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.”</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Madras University slashes study fees, duration for PG Archaeology</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/madras-university-slashes-study-fees-time-for-pg-archaeology</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/madras-university-slashes-study-fees-time-for-pg-archaeology#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">a493b207-a13a-4f9d-abeb-24f18c9b6fc6</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-29T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>GEEDAN PC</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371205</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>archaeology,Madras University,PG degree</media:keywords><media:content height="844" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-18/rmqd14sf/879698_p46.jpg" width="1500"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ University of Madras]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ University of Madras]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-18/rmqd14sf/879698_p46.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/madras-university">University of Madras</a> has revised its archaeology programmes, reducing the duration of the Postgraduate Diploma in Archaeology from two years to one year and cutting the annual fieldwork fee for its MA Ancient History and Archaeology programme.</p><p>Under the revised academic scheme, student intake for the PG Diploma in Archaeology will also be revised.</p><p>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.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/19-percent-cut-in-madras-university-budget-allocation-of-pension-down-385-percent">19 percent cut in Madras University budget; allocation of pension down 38.5 percent</a></aside><p>The changes are part of the revised academic regulations and schemes approved by the university for implementation from the 2026-27 academic year.</p><p>Meanwhile, the university has decided to suspend five certificate courses offered by the Department of Adult and Continuing Education.</p><p>The courses are Functional English and Public Speaking, Skin Care and Beauty Therapy, News Reading and Compering, Web Page Designing, and Women Studies.</p><p>The university said the courses had remained inactive for more than five years.
