The injured man, identified as Antony Thomas of Govardhan Nagar in Mettukuppam, has been working as a film writer and supporting actor in several movies. His mother Pushpalatha is also a supporting actor in television serials.

According to a Daily Thanthi report, Antony was at home when two men armed with knives entered the house and attacked him on the head. The duo allegedly warned him not to appear in court the next day and demanded that he withdraw a complaint lodged with the police.

The attackers then fled the scene. Antony, who suffered injuries on his head, was admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Based on his complaint, Koyambedu police registered a case and launched an investigation to identify the suspects.

Money dispute under scanner

During preliminary inquiry, police found that Antony had lodged a complaint with Koyambedu police in May against one Satheesh Singh over a money transaction dispute. He had also approached the Madras High Court in connection with the issue.

Antony was scheduled to appear before the court on Tuesday in connection with the case. He told police that the unidentified men barged into his house on Monday night and attacked him, allegedly warning him not to appear in court.

Social media post under scanner

Police are also probing whether the attack was linked to a recent social media controversy involving Antony's mother. Pushpalatha had reportedly posted a message supporting Chief Minister Vijay on social media last month. She later lodged a complaint with Virugambakkam police against a person allegedly belonging to the DMK for posting abusive comments on the social media post.

Police are probing various angles, including the money dispute and the social media controversy, to ascertain the motive behind the attack.

On October 25, 2020, R Kishore (35) was riding his two-wheeler in an inebriated state and rammed into an auto driver, Raja (45), who was standing by his auto parked on the side of the road waiting for passengers.

Raja sustained grievous injuries in the accident and was treated at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on October 27.

In connection with the accident, a case was registered at the Triplicane Traffic Investigation Wing and the accused, Kishore, was arrested.

The trial concluded recently and the magistrate held Kishore guilty and sentenced him for oneyear rigorous imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs 16,000.

Raising accessibility concerns at the station, wheelchair user Sathish noted that Platform 11A, which connects the station to the Metro, has no lift, ramp or access to cross the track.

A foot overbridge on the Beach station side has a functioning lift and ramp, but they run only up to Platform 11A. The second one, which serves Platforms 1 to 4, has a lift and ramp on one side but neither on the opposite end.

Platforms 5, 6 and 7, where several outstation trains halt, have an escalator but no lift, which leaves wheelchair users to go to the far end of the platform and cross the tracks. A third foot overbridge, meant to connect all platforms and close these gaps, is still under construction.

Asked about interim arrangements while construction continues, a railway official said the new foot overbridge would be connected to the Poonamalle High Road Multi-Level Car Parking in the meantime, allowing passengers to use that route without restriction.

To withstand the situation without proper measures remains a daunting task for Wheelchair users. They attribute the condition to the Southern Railway’s lack of care.

“How are we supposed to travel until the completion of FOB? They could at least introduce a battery-operated vehicle to cover the detour many wheelchair users currently take,” said Sathish.

Responding to queries, Southern Railway said the structural portion of the new parcel office and the arrival FOB has been completed, and lift and escalator installation is targeted for completion by the end of November. “Once commissioned, the bridge will connect to the Multi-Level Car Parking on Poonamallee High Road and will include full accessibility provisions,” the official noted.

The annual festival of the Annai Velankanni Matha Church is being celebrated in Besant Nagar, with the main chariot procession held on Monday. Thousands of devotees from Chennai and surrounding areas had gathered to witness the chariot festival.

Among them were Tamilselvan (22) and Manipalan (27) of Pudupet. After the procession ended late at night, the duo slept on the Elliot's Beach. On Tuesday morning, they entered the sea for a swim.

While bathing, Tamilselvan was suddenly dragged into the sea by a giant wave. Seeing this, Manipalan tried to rescue him, but he too was pulled in by the waves, said the police.

Personnel from Shastri Nagar police station, fire and rescue services, and the Coastal Security Group searched for the missing youth and have alerted police stations along the coast.

Preliminary investigations revealed that he was drunk while riding the bike.

The deceased was identified as P Ajith (21) of Shanmugam Pillai Street in Mylapore. He was working as an AC mechanic.

The police said his friend, A Abdul Majeed (18) from the same area, a second-year polytechnic student, was riding pillion.

According to the police, both had consumed alcohol on Pattinapakkam beach late on Tuesday night and were heading towards Adyar on the bike. When they reached near the Ambedkar Memorial at Pattinapakkam, Ajith lost control of the bike and the vehicle hit the median.

Ajith sustained severe injuries and died on the spot, while Abdul sustained serious injuries.

The passerby alerted the authorities, after which the police moved Ajith's body to a hospital for post-mortem examination. Abdul was rushed to the hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.

The Mylapore Traffic Investigation Wing (TIW) police have registered a case.

Officials said both of them were not wearing helmets and suspect that the rider was overspeeding while under the influence of alcohol, which led to the accident.

A day earlier, a 20-year-old youth, Praveen Kumar of Alwarpet, died after he lost control of his two-wheeler, which crashed into a median in Taramani. He, too, was not wearing a helmet, officials said.

Mother and son dies in Tondiarpet

A 40-year-old woman, who rode pillion on a bike ridden by her 17-year-old son, a Class 12 student, died in an accident in Tondiarpet on Tuesday (September 8) night.

Mariammal of Poondi Thangammal Street in New Washermenpet was riding pillion with her 17-year-old son to Tondiarpet.

On VOC Road, the bike rammed into another bike in front of them, injuring Mariammal, her son, and the other biker, Senthilkumar (45) of Ilaya Mudali Street, New Washermenpet.

They were rushed to Government Stanley Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared her brought-dead. The other two are undergoing treatment.

The procedures include total and partial knee replacements and total hip replacement surgeries.

The programme combines Stryker’s Mako SmartRobotics system, 3D CT-based imaging and detailed pre-operative planning to enable patient-specific joint replacement procedures.

According to the hospital, robotic assistance provides surgeons with detailed anatomical information and helps in planning and executing procedures with greater precision, while clinical decisions and surgical judgement remain with the operating surgeon.

Dr Arun Kannan, senior orthopaedic robotic surgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, said, “The milestone reflects the experience built by the team over the years, including in handling complex knee and hip replacement cases.”

Dr Ilankumaran Kaliamoorthy, CEO, Chennai Region, Apollo Hospitals, said, “The achievement shows the institution’s focus on integrating advanced technology with experienced clinicians and multidisciplinary care.”

Under the new rules, divisional assistant engineers (AEs) and junior engineers (JEs) will identify unsafe buildings during site inspections and alert unit assistant executive engineers (AEEs) and zonal executive engineers (EEs). A joint team comprising the AE, AEE and EE will then inspect the structure and assess its age and condition.

Where structural stability remains uncertain, the case will be referred to the Public Works Department (PWD), Anna University or IIT Madras for a formal safety assessment. Officials have also been instructed to check whether litigation is pending between property owners and tenants and strictly adhere to any existing court orders.

Based on expert reports, Regional Joint Commissioners or Deputy Commissioners will issue notices directing owners to carry out the recommended repairs within a specified time-frame. Where demolition is recommended, a formal notice will be served on the owner, with a copy issued to the tenants, under Section 258 of the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act. If the owner fails to comply, the GCC will carry out the demolition and recover the cost from the property owner.

People refusing to vacate a structure declared dangerous will be evicted with police assistance, the guidelines said.

The award was presented on September 8 in recognition of Dr Mohan’s distinguished contributions to diabetes research, healthcare and precision approaches to diabetes therapy.

During his address, Dr Mohan highlighted the importance of precision diabetes for Asian Indian and South Asian populations, noting that diabetes often develops among Indians at younger ages and lower levels of obesity.

His research spanning epidemiology, genetics, metabolic phenotyping and diabetes complications has contributed significantly to understanding the distinctive characteristics of diabetes among Asian Indians.

Dr Mohan has previously received honours from Emory, Michigan, Stanford and Harvard universities.

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 Wednesday.

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.

Despite completing 49 projects worth Rs 946.18 crore, CSCL routinely bypassed core mission guidelines, shifting focus away from the designated Area-Based Development (ABD) zone to fund general municipal works.

Also, SCL originally proposed 48 projects valued at Rs 1,366.25 crore.

However, the audit reveals that 8 planned projects worth Rs 279.03 crore were dropped without valid justification.

The dropped list includes high-impact urban tech initiatives such as a street light monitoring system for Rs 248.47 crore, Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) for Rs 100 crore, solar charging stations and modular e-toilets for Rs 10.40 crore and GIS Utility Integration for Rs 8.89 crore.

In their place, CSCL executed 20 unplanned projects costing Rs 189.66 crore.

Of the 49 projects completed, 13 were situated completely outside the ABD area, and only 5 served as true Pan-city solutions.

Major funds were redirected to off-target projects, including the Command and Control Centre at Ripon Building Rs 51 crore, CITIIS Smart Schools for Rs 44.70 crore, and the Villivakkam Tank Restoration alongside its suspension bridge and secondary pond a total of Rs 45.98 crore.

The audit highlighted systemic accounting and financial governance failures within CSCL.

As per SCM guidelines, the paid-up capital of the SPV (special purpose vehicle) should be Rs 200 crore, Rs 100 crore of Government of India contribution and Rs 100 crore of State share.

Audit observed that none of the sampled SPVs had maintained the minimum requirement as per SCM guidelines, and the actual paid-up capital of each Smart City stood only at Rs 10 lakh.

Funds were diverted for other projects, such as Rs 15.33 crore was spent for shifting and resettling 268 families for the Villivakkam project, which is not part of CSCL.

The expenditure includes Rs 66.58 lakh for state government advertisements and Rs 18.44 lakh on non-Smart City consultants.

Of the Rs 82.51 crore earned in bank interest, SCL short-remitted Rs 26.60 crore to the Union Government and failed to remit any of the Rs 41.25 crore due to the State Treasury.

Despite substantial investments by Chennai Smart City Limited (CSCL) in an MLCP facility, redeveloped roads, and pedestrian plazas, a Joint Physical Verification (JPV) conducted in June 2024 revealed widespread misuse.

Auditors noted heavy encroachments along Venkatanarayana Road and unauthorised two-wheeler parking on the pedestrian pathways of Burkit Road, effectively defeating the project’s primary goal of improving pedestrian mobility. A sample check uncovered financial irregularities in street lighting installations along the redeveloped roads. Auditors found significant variations between the quantity of LED light fixtures estimated, those certified as installed, and the actual numbers physically present on the ground.

These resulted in unexplained additional expenditure. The government’s reply in May 2025, though detailed about the benefits of LED light fixtures, was silent about the variation in the quantity installed.

Further, the Mambalam Canal Smart City project warned of potential monsoon flood risks in the Area-Based Development (ABD) zone. Launched in February 2021 to build retaining walls, pathways, and green pockets, the project was redesigned in May 2022 following severe monsoonal flooding. To ensure uninterrupted water flow and desilting, officials dropped key amenities, including shared pathways, cycle tracks, and parks, before work resumed in August 2022.

Despite spending Rs 48.19 crore as of March 2024, JPV in June 2024 revealed the project remained incomplete past its extended March 2024 deadline. The CAG noted that state officials provided no reasons for the delay or proof of penalties levied on contractors. A proposed deadline extension to August 2024 remains unconfirmed.

Curated by Art Cube Gallery, the exhibition will be open from 10 am to 6 pm, with free entry.

Alongside the exhibition, the gallery will also host a weaving art workshop with artist Prasida Chavan from Cholamandal Artists’ Village. Participants can learn traditional weaving techniques and create their own 6 × 6-inch woven loom during the workshop. All materials, including yarn, looms and tools, will be provided.

The beginner-friendly workshop is open to participants of all age groups. Prasida, an artist and weaver with more than 30 years of experience, regularly conducts weaving workshops at Cholamandal Artists’ Village.

The session costs Rs 1,500 per person and has limited seats. Spirit of Ganesha will be held at Art Cube Gallery, Virugambakkam.

Art Cube Gallery is a new contemporary art space in the city dedicated to showcasing artists and creating meaningful art experiences for the community.

To register for the workshop, call 87545 55769.

The action came during a sudden inspection across seven zones on Monday, which targeted residential properties and commercial hostels in Tondiarpet, Ambattur, Anna Nagar, Teynampet, Kodambakkam, Adyar, and Perungudi.

"Attaching booster pumps directly to distribution lines severely reduces water pressure, depriving neighbouring households of equitable access. Special monitoring teams conducted raids across key localities, including MKB Nagar in Tondiarpet, OT Bus Stand, and Mogappair in Ambattur, Choolaimedu in Anna Nagar, Valluvar Kottam, Greams Road, and Trustpuram in Teynampet, MGR Nagar in Kodambakkam, Taramani in Adyar, and Kottivakkam and Kandanchavadi in Perungudi zones,” the utility said in a statement.

Following the seizures, it issued stern warning notices to property owners and cautioned that repeat offenders will face legal action under applicable municipal laws.

"This action follows a previous enforcement drive in the Adyar zone that yielded 55 illegal motors, bringing the total number of confiscated pumps across the city to 89," added the release.

CMWSSB stated that special monitoring teams will maintain round-the-clock surveillance across all zones to inspect domestic lines and public taps.

The board urged consumers to refrain from illegal tapping to ensure equitable water distribution.

Several large and small potholes can be seen along the stretch, while the road surface has been damaged at many places, with loose gravel scattered across it. As a result, two-wheeler riders are forced to avoid the potholes while travelling on the road.

The road is also frequently used by heavy vehicles, cars and two-wheelers. Residents said that the condition of the road was worsening further as heavy vehicles continued to pass through the area.

Gopal, a resident, said two-wheeler riders have to suddenly slow down while crossing the potholes. “This poses a risk of accidents, as vehicles coming from behind may not be able to anticipate the sudden slowdown. Motorists also have to be extra cautious while travelling with children and elderly people. If vehicles get stuck in the potholes, it could lead to accidents,” he added.

Another resident, Gunasekaran, said that the situation becomes more dangerous when it rains, as rainwater accumulates in the potholes, making their depth difficult to identify. “Two-wheeler riders face the risk of losing balance after getting caught in the potholes. Some people have fallen and suffered injuries while travelling at night,” he said.

A senior Corporation official told DT Next: “Storm water drain works are currently being carried out on NT Patel Road. Around 250 metres have been completed, with only 50 metres remaining. When the work is completed, a new road surface will be laid in the area.”

Earlier, the police had arrested five youth, all aged 20.

Sources said the minors are school students, and added that all four arrested were associated with the main accused, V Barani (20), who avenged the murders of his father and uncle.

The deceased, S Kannan (45) of Vannanthurai, was a history sheeter. He made a living by renting out cars to IT companies. After the TVK came to power, Kannan had shifted allegiance from the AIADMK to the ruling party.

On Saturday night, Kannan was walking along Ellaiamman Koil Street in Vannanthurai when a bike-borne gang intercepted and hacked him to death.

The brutal attack was caught on CCTV cameras in the neighbourhood.

On Sunday, the Sastri Nagar police arrested five persons V Barani (20), Rakesh (20), and Hariharan (20) from Adyar, Naresh (20) of Tiruvanmiyur, and Manikandan (20) of Kottur.

In 2009, Barani's uncle Siva was murdered by Kannan's associates, and in 2016, Barani's father, Velu was murdered in Saidapet.

Sources said Velu had murdered a history sheeter, Mangaleri Kandan, a DMK functionary, in Tiruvanmiyur market, and he was murdered in retaliation.

Following the murder, Adyar Deputy Commissioner AC Karthikeyan and Sastri Nagar inspector Rohini were transferred to vacancy reserve.

The cables have reportedly remained exposed for more than three months near the anganwadi centres and Sri Venkatesa Perumal Temple.

With the road and adjoining footpath dug up for construction work, children, parents, pedestrians and temple devotees are forced to negotiate the stretch with the cables lying in their path. Residents said the problem was compounded by soil, construction debris and removed stones dumped at several points along the footpath. Uneven portions of the footpath could also cause pedestrians, especially children, to trip and fall.

“The cables have been lying in the same condition for the past three months. Footpath work is also under way. Since the cables have been left at the work site, they are causing inconvenience to the public. As this is an area where children come and go, the issue should be resolved immediately,” said Uma, a resident.

Balamurugan, another resident, said the nearby temple meant the area remained busy throughout the day. “Devotees visit the temple every day and the cables lying on the road are causing inconvenience to them. Though no accident has occurred so far, the cables should be removed immediately before any untoward incident takes place,” he said.

Teachers at the anganwadi centres said they had already brought the issue to the attention of the authorities. “Around 88 children visit the two centres every day. We’ve informed authorities about the cables on the road and requested that they be removed at the earliest. However, no action has been taken so far,” they lamented.

A senior TNPDCL official told DT Next that the cables were part of work to provide a new connection in the area. A portion of the cable had already been buried, but the work was temporarily halted due to a shortage of workers. “The remaining work will be completed within two days,” the official said.

Officials said he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

The deceased was identified as Praveen Kumar of Alwarpet. According to the police, he visited his friend in Thoraipakkam on Monday night and was returning home when the accident happened.

While riding along the road in front of Dr Dharmambal Government Polytechnic College for Women, Praveen lost control of the vehicle and his bike hit the median.

The youth was thrown to the ground and suffered severe injuries in the impact as he was not wearing a helmet, said the police.

The passerby who noticed the crash alerted the authorities after which he was rushed to a hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries, the police said.

The Mylapore Traffic Investigation Wing police recovered the vehicle and began an investigation into the circumstances that led to the accident.

At a district-level review meeting, Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Dr Somasundaram directed zonal health officials to maintain close surveillance in areas reporting dengue cases and intensify source-reduction work.

Officials have been asked to obtain daily reports of fever cases from private hospitals and mosquito control workers have also been instructed to collect information on people with fever during their daily house visits and immediately alert health inspectors for further reporting. The Corporation has also directed officials to intensify removal of potential mosquito-breeding materials from vacant plots, hospital and school premises, government offices, parks and construction sites.

The Corporation has also directed officials to intensify removal of potential mosquito-breeding materials from vacant plots, hospital and school premises, government offices, parks and construction sites.

Residents have been urged to remove waste accumulation, keep water tanks and wells properly covered, and empty stagnant water from flower-pot trays and other household containers at least once a week.

Girl falls ill after eating bajji

According to a Daily Thanthi report, the girl, Sreethika from Lachuvakkam village, was a Class 4 student at a private school in same area. Her father, Senthilkumar, is a police constable attached to the Sengundram police station.

On September 3, Senthilkumar took his daughter to Thandal Bazaar near Periyapalayam and bought her bajji from a shop. While eating it, Sreethika suddenly vomited and collapsed.

Senthilkumar immediately took her to Tiruvallur Government Hospital. She was later shifted to the Egmore Children hospital, Chennai, for further treatment.

Despite intensive treatment, Sreethika died on Saturday night.

Periyapalayam police have registered a case and are investigating the incident. Police said the exact cause of death would be known only after the post-mortem report is received.

Titled ‘80 Days for Child Protection’, the campaign is built around the theme ‘One Day. One Message. One Commitment’, with one a child protection message to be shared every day throughout the campaign.

The initiative seeks to move child protection beyond policies, programmes and occasional awareness drives, and encourage changes in everyday attitudes, relationships and actions towards children. The messages will cover children’s rights, different forms of violence, prevention, children’s participation, responsible responses, institutional safeguarding and collective action.

Andrew Sesuraj, director of IDEA, said, “Child protection should not remain the responsibility of only professionals and institutions, but should become a shared value reflected in the way children are raised, educated, heard and treated. Through these 80 days, we want to turn awareness into conversations, conversations into action, and action into a lasting culture of protection.”

IDEA has invited children and young people, parents, teachers, social workers, government departments, civil society organisations, institutions, media representatives, community leaders and citizens to participate in the campaign by sharing the daily messages, starting discussions and making commitments towards child protection.

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.

The deceased was N Ramaraj. Ramaraj was consuming liquor with his friends, B Raja (52) and V Perumal (43), near a Tasmac outlet when the accused, Y Murali (35) and R Loganathan (32), came looking for Ramaraj's friend, Gnanam.

The accused had a dispute with Gnanam over a board game, which led to exchanging blows. Later in the day, Murali and Loganathan came looking for Gnanam. They questioned the trio on Gnanam's whereabouts, leading to an argument.

Murali and Loganathan allegedly attacked the trio with knives. Ramaraj sustained severe injuries and died, while Raja and Perumal were injured.

On information, Police reached the scene and retrieved Ramaraj's body and sent it for post-mortem. Police arrested Murali and Loganathan, who have previous criminal charges, on murder charges. Further investigation is under way.

The college has been offering B Ed programmes since 1945 and also offers B Ed, M Ed and M Phil programmes.

During a visit to the college by this reporter, several classrooms were found to have broken wooden chairs. In some classrooms, students were seen sitting on wooden planks and plastic chairs, citing inadequate seating facilities. Some classrooms were also found to be dusty, with garbage accumulated inside, raising concerns over cleanliness and maintenance.

Students said that basic facilities, including toilets, need to be improved on the campus. Those staying in the college hostel, particularly those from other districts, also alleged that the quality of food was poor. “We pay around Rs 4,000 each month as hostel fees, but only to find insects and worms in the food,” fumed a hostelite. “We’ve alerted the college administration about it, but no appropriate action has been taken yet.”

When contacted, college principal Rita declined to comment on the issues. “As I am functioning as the in-charge principal, I cannot comment on these matters. We’ll get details from officials of the Directorate of Collegiate Education,” she stated.

Students and others have urged the authorities to take immediate steps to improve the facilities at the historic institution. The college is located in a prominent part of Chennai, and the condition of the institution has also drawn attention as Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay reportedly passes through the route daily.

The road is a crucial route connecting local markets, marriage halls and schools. Residents said the narrowing of the carriageway has led to traffic snarls, particularly during the morning and evening peak hours.

S Santhosh, a college student from Punnakkam, said thousands of schoolchildren use the road after school hours.

“Because of the barricades, the carriageway has shrunk, causing traffic congestion during evening peak hours. The situation worsens significantly on auspicious days,” he said.

Main sewage pipeline has been replaced after the leakage was detected and the road will be re-laid soon, says chairman of Tiruvallur Municipality

A Allen, a Tiruvallur resident, said sewage leakage had been noticed in the main pipeline near the District Health Office. “Three weeks ago, pipeline replacement work was undertaken by municipal officials, but no progress has been made since,” he said.

He also said loose soil piled up along the stretch was being blown around, making the area highly dust-prone. Locals said people waiting outside the District Health Office had complained of dust allergies and eye irritation.

Residents have urged officials to complete the road-relaying work at the earliest, noting that Tiruvallur is a fast-growing town with increasing traffic movement.

Tiruvallur Municipality Chairman P Udhaya Malar Pandian told DT Next that the main sewage pipeline had been replaced after the leakage was detected. “After detecting the leakage from the main sewage pipeline and obtaining permission from the traffic police and the Highways Department, the road re-laying was delayed,” she said.

“The replacement of the pipeline is now complete, and road re-laying work will begin within the next couple of days,” she added.

The deceased was Sham Marquis (17), a resident of the Housing Board quarters in Velachery. He was studying in Class 12 at a private school in the area.

According to the police, the incident occurred on September 5. Sham had climbed up to check the water level in the overhead water tank located on the second floor of his house.

While he was on top, he lost his balance and accidentally fell down.

He suffered severe injuries in the fall.

His family members and neighbours rescued him and rushed him to the Government Hospital in Guindy for treatment, where he succumbed.

The Velachery police have registered a case and are investigating.

She alleged that Rs 194 crore allocated by the Centre for clean-air measures remained unspent and demanded that the government release an IIT-Madras study on the sources of Chennai’s air pollution.

Participating in the debate on the demands for grants for the Forest, Environment and Climate Change departments in the Assembly, she said clean air, safe drinking water and a healthy environment were basic rights and called for stronger government intervention across the State.

Sowmiya claimed that Chennai fared among the worst cities in air quality in the country and that nearly 11,000 people died in the city every year due to toxic air.

Citing studies, she said pollution had reduced the life expectancy of Chennai residents by four years.

Raising concerns about industrial pollution, the Dharmapuri MLA alleged environmental damage in the Ennore-Manali belt and cited chromium waste in Ranipet and contamination of water bodies.

She urged the government to identify and shut down industries generating toxic pollutants.

Sowmiya also demanded protection for the Pallikaranai marshland and its declaration as a Ramsar site, questioning the construction of a concrete walkway there.

She called for better waste management, saying garbage was attracting wildlife to human habitations.

She also opposed new methane, gas and coal projects and sought stronger protection for Tamil Nadu’s rivers and wetlands.

The accident occurred around 12.30 am on the Tiruchy-Chennai National Highway near the Kattankulathur junction, police said.

The deceased was identified as Iraiyanbu, 28, a resident of Chelliamman Koil Street in Kattankulathur. He was returning home on his Honda Dio after attending a local temple festival when the accident occurred.

Jagadeshwari, who hails from Virudhunagar district, had reportedly left for Chennai from Virudhunagar on Sunday evening to attend the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly session scheduled for Monday.

The minister was travelling in her official vehicle, while her relatives were following in a private Maruti Ertiga car reportedly registered in her name.

According to preliminary information, a police escort vehicle was also part of the convoy. As the Ertiga was passing through the Kattankulathur junction, it collided with Iraiyanbu's two-wheeler while he was crossing the national highway.

The impact threw Iraiyanbu off his vehicle. He sustained critical injuries and died at the scene, police said.

Personnel accompanying the minister's convoy reportedly alerted the Tambaram City Police Commissionerate's traffic wing following the accident.

Guduvanchery Traffic Investigation Wing police rushed to the spot, recovered the body and sent it to Chengalpattu District Government Hospital for post-mortem examination.

Police registered a case, seized the Maruti Ertiga involved in the accident and began an investigation.

Preliminary police inquiries revealed that the vehicle was registered in the name of Minister Jagadeshwari, according to the information available.

Police arrested the driver, identified as Chinna Agni, 28, from Madurai. A case has been registered against him under provisions relating to rash and negligent driving on a public road and causing death by negligent driving.

The arrested driver is being questioned about the circumstances that led to the accident. Police are examining various aspects of the case, including CCTV footage and the cause of the collision.

This occurred following a burst in a 1,200 mm diameter central main pipeline, which carries water from the 300 MLD capacity treatment plant in Puzhal to northern parts of Chennai.

As a result, the Metro Water board temporarily suspended the drinking water supply across several parts of northern Chennai. Affected regions include Manali, Madhavaram, Tondiarpet, and Thiru. Vi, Ka Nagar zones till 10 pm on September 9.

According to residents, the cave-in occurred during the early hours of Monday after the high-pressure pipeline running beneath the highway ruptured. The force of the water rapidly eroded the underlying soil and caused adjacent service lanes to crack.

N Nijanthan, a resident of Puzhal, said, “Daily commuters, particularly two-wheeler riders and heavy vehicle operators, suffered as key arterial stretches collapsed. Residents noted that a similar pipeline burst happened a few months back in the locality. Due to the ageing pipeline, the Metro Water board has to rectify the issue immediately and ensure safety.”

Upon hearing about the incident, officials rushed to the spot and removed the damaged area, while traffic police erected barricades to prevent inconvenience to the public and motorists.

An official press release from the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) stated that pumping operations from the 300 MLD capacity Puzhal Water Treatment Plant were suspended immediately following the leak. Excavation is under way at the site to extract the ruptured section and lay a new main pipeline on a war footing, in coordination with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and local police.

The Metro Water board has temporarily suspended the drinking water supply across several parts of northern Chennai. Affected regions include Manali, Madhavaram, Tondiarpet, and Thiru Vi Ka Nagar zones till 10 pm on September 9

Road excavation works are underway at the spot, replacing the damaged main pipe with a new pipeline. “Consequently, the drinking water supply will be interrupted in Vadaperumbakkam, Kossapur, Theeyambakkam, Chettimedu, Ariyalur and Thiyagi Viswanatha Nagar in Manali zone, Madhavaram, Ponniamman Medu, Vinayagapuram, Bank Colony and Kathirvedu areas, the areas opposite to Perambur Railway Station in Ward 72 and Kannigapuram in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar zone and entire Tondiarpet zone.”

To mitigate the disruption, CMWSSB has deployed additional mobile water tankers to deliver uninterrupted supplies to residents until the main pipeline distribution is fully restored.

For emergency requirements, drinking water can be obtained through mobile tankers via the ‘Dial for Water’ service. Register on https://cmwssb.tn.gov.in

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.
