With little space left for pedestrians, many are forced to walk on the carriageway, raising safety concerns.</p><p>Encroachments are particularly visible along the stretch from the Medavakkam Road junction to Konnur High Road. Food shops and two-wheeler repair workshops have occupied portions of the footpaths, while two-wheelers are parked on the pavements at several locations. Residents said pedestrians were often forced to walk along the roadside amid continuous vehicular movement.</p><p>"It becomes particularly difficult when vehicles are moving continuously, and there is also a risk of accidents. The encroachments should be removed, and the footpaths should be monitored regularly to ensure they remain accessible to the public," said resident Malar.</p><blockquote>Once new proposals to identify areas as vending zones and non-vending zones are approved, encroachments on walkways would be permanently removed</blockquote><p>However, street vendors said eviction drives affected their livelihood. "I run a small shop in the area and depend on the income from it to support my family. As I do not have a separate place to set up a shop, I run my business wherever space is available. My daily income is an important source for meeting my family's everyday expenses. When the Corporation removes the encroachments, our livelihood is affected. Proper space should be provided for vendors to carry out their business without affecting their livelihood," said street vendor Manikandan.</p><p>A Corporation official said encroachments were being removed periodically. The last eviction drive was carried out three months before the elections. However, vendors returned to the same locations and set up shops within a week of being removed, the official said.</p><p>Members of street vendors' associations have been seeking permission to operate from designated locations, citing their livelihood needs.</p><p>New proposals to identify areas as Vending Zones and Non-Vending Zones are currently under consideration. A permanent solution to the encroachment issue is expected only after the proposal is approved, the official added.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Broken doors, lack of water, foul odour greet passengers at the toilets in Chennai Central station</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/broken-doors-lack-of-water-foul-odour-greet-passengers-at-the-toilets-in-chennai-central-station</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/broken-doors-lack-of-water-foul-odour-greet-passengers-at-the-toilets-in-chennai-central-station#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">06baee5d-3e56-4e73-a68f-63419342a755</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai Central Station,foul odour,Broken doors</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/mo2yesui/1-22.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Railway toilet]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Railway toilet]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/mo2yesui/1-22.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Passengers are facing difficulties using the free toilets located between platforms 12 and 16 at the suburban terminal at Moore Market Complex, near Dr MGR Chennai Central Railway Station, as they are not being properly maintained.</p><p>A large number of passengers travel daily from this suburban terminal, one of Chennai’s major railway transport hubs, to various suburban destinations, including Gummidipoondi, Arakkonam and Tiruvallur.</p><p>Free toilets provided for passengers between platforms 12 and 16 are not being properly maintained, and both lack adequate water facilities.

The paid toilets charge Rs 5 but are properly maintained, but the free toilets are neither cleaned nor maintained properly. The foul smell is so strong that passengers find it difficult even to enter them.”</p><p>A Southern Railway official said, “We’ll look into the issues. Damage to the railway property has been a recurring issue, and we’re planning to create awareness among the public. We’ll also intensify vigilance to curb such activities.”</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Early diagnosis crucial in brachial plexus injuries, experts stress</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-early-diagnosis-crucial-in-brachial-plexus-injuries-experts-stress</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-early-diagnosis-crucial-in-brachial-plexus-injuries-experts-stress#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">96ad832b-17bb-4331-b029-6b09d9585b81</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 03:22:34 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T03:22:34.159Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>experts,diagnosis,brachial plexus injuries</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/8knhfl8q/Untitled-Design-10.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image ]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Diagnosis]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/8knhfl8q/Untitled-Design-10.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: The need for early diagnosis of brachial plexus injuries, including in patients with head injuries, was stressed at a Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme organised by the Institute for Research and Rehabilitation of Hand and the Department of Plastic Surgery, Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital, here.</p><p>The programme, held in the campus last week to commemorate World Hand Surgery Day observed on August 23, focused on distinguishing brachial plexus injuries from other nerve injuries of the upper limb.</p><p>Experts stressed that early identification and appropriate intervention could help expedite recovery.

Rising bitumen prices and a lack of support from Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) in shifting the power cables have slowed down progress,” said a senior official at the State Highways department.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-02/78ep0u3e/Sardar-Patel-Road-widening1.jpeg" /></figure><p>The widening work between Anna University and Madhya Kailash has been completed.

Officials said that the structures would be cleared in the coming days, allowing roadwork in the stretch to resume.</p><p>“After the cable-shifting work is finished, we’ll take up the alignment of the median along with the lights. We’re working to complete the project as early as possible,” the official said.</p><p>A TNPDCL official told DT Next that the shifting of the Ring Main Unit (RMU) is scheduled for Saturday. “The shifting will be taken up tomorrow and the work will be completed in 1-2 days,” the official said.</p><p>Residents, however, expressed concern over the slow progress on the arterial road, which serves several important institutions and landmarks, including educational institutions, Guindy National Park, Gandhi Mandapam, the Kamarajar Memorial and Lok Bhavan. “The progress is barely noticeable, yet hundreds of vehicles pass through here during peak hours. In the morning and evening, traffic from Rajiv Gandhi Salai piles up from the IIT Madras campus to the intersection of Gandhi Mandapam Road and Sardar Patel Road. With the monsoon around the corner, we urge officials to complete the work on time,” said Pushpa Raj, a resident of West Canal Bank Road in Kotturpuram.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>4-year-old Chennai boy touches roadside EB box while playing; hospitalised</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/4-year-old-chennai-boy-touches-roadside-eb-box-while-playing-hospitalised</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/4-year-old-chennai-boy-touches-roadside-eb-box-while-playing-hospitalised#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">1d9ca956-069e-46d6-a9a0-15a491ae6824</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 09:47:29 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T09:47:29.489Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Arumbakkam,hospitalised,Electric shock</media:keywords><media:content height="432" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/yilcnsw7/dailythanthi2026-10-03u35ka1yo94.avif" width="768"><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/2026-10-03/yilcnsw7/dailythanthi2026-10-03u35ka1yo94.avif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: A four-year-old boy suffered severe injuries after he came into contact with a roadside electrical box while playing in Arumbakkam, Chennai, on Saturday (October 3). </p><p>The incident has caused concern among residents over the safety and maintenance of electrical boxes on roadsides.</p><h2>Boy touches the box accidentally</h2><p>According to<a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/4-year-old-boy-critically-injured-in-electric-shock-incident-in-chennai"> a Daily Thanthi report</a>, the boy was playing on a street in the area when he inadvertently touched an electrical box that was reportedly in an unsafe condition. </p><p>He immediately suffered a powerful electric shock and sustained serious injuries.</p><h2>Severe damage to the boy's hands</h2><p>The electric shock caused severe burns and extensive damage to both the boy's hands.

There are a total of 1,536 houses in the area.</p><p>With the monsoon season underway, residents fear that the weakened structures may collapse and have urged the authorities to provide alternative houses at the earliest.</p><p>Residents said that a survey has been conducted to identify the damaged houses and the process of providing alternative houses to those living in them is underway. However, they said there has been a delay in shifting residents from the damaged buildings.</p><p>The ceilings, balconies and staircases of several houses have been damaged. Residents are afraid to stay inside their homes and use common areas. They have urged the authorities to provide alternative houses before the damaged structures deteriorate further during the rainy season and pose a risk to residents.</p><p>A resident, Usharani, said, “It’s frightening to live in the house. Parts of the house, both inside and outside, could collapse at any time. The ceiling inside is also damaged and broken. We’re scared even while sleeping and eating. The staircases and balconies, which are used for safety and access, are also damaged. We’re living in fear every day.”</p><p>Another resident, Selvam, said, “We’ve been living in this area with our family for the past 40 years. When our children were studying at home, a portion of the building collapsed near them. Since then, we have been afraid to stay inside the house. As the rainy season has started, the damaged buildings could become weaker and collapse. Alternative houses should be provided before the monsoon becomes more intense.”</p><p>TNUHDB officials said that there are 1,536 houses in Srinivasapuram. Of the 224 families identified for shifting to Loop Road, 197 have already been shifted, while the process is under way for the remaining families. More than 1,000 families have been issued enumeration forms.</p><p>However, the forms have not been returned, and the shifting process has been delayed due to a lack of consensus among residents. As per the scheme guidelines, land cannot be provided separately and houses have to be constructed and allotted to beneficiaries. The Chief Engineer is visit the area tomorrow, officials said.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Membership to Anna Centenary Library costly for outstation candidates</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/membership-to-anna-centenary-library-costly-for-outstation-candidates</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/membership-to-anna-centenary-library-costly-for-outstation-candidates#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">9875b8ce-a544-4d92-b1b1-26156ea6bd44</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 02:03:41 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-03T02:03:41.681Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>TL Selva Suriyan</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371242</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Anna Centenary Library,membership</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/h9zhwisb/Untitled-Design-46.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna Centenary Library]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna Centenary Library]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-03/h9zhwisb/Untitled-Design-46.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Government exam aspirants and readers from districts outside Chennai are facing difficulties in obtaining membership at the Anna Centenary Library due to the existing requirement for address attestation by a Notary Public, prompting students to seek a simpler Aadhaar-based registration process.</p><p>The Anna Centenary Library, one of the city’s major public knowledge hubs, has become a popular destination for competitive examination aspirants, research scholars and readers seeking a conducive environment for reading and self earning.</p><p>However, readers from other districts said that the membership procedure has become a hurdle, particularly for those without a Chennai address proof. Those having a regional address at Chennai or Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu (KTCC) can obtain library membership by submitting Aadhaar or other government issued identity documents carrying their address.</p><p>But, readers from other districts are required to provide an ‘address accreditation’ certificate attested by a Notary Public for membership. Raja, a library member from a Delta district, said the annual membership fee was only Rs 200, but obtaining the required address attestation had cost him Rs 500. “Some people have reportedly paid around Rs 2,000 to get the address certificate from a Notary Public. It is unreasonable to spend several times the annual membership fee merely to complete the address verification process,” he lamented.</p><p>Government exam aspirant Kayalvizhi said that the Anna Centenary Library had become a major support system for aspirants from across Tamil Nadu.</p><p>“The library is a boon for those of us preparing for competitive exams. Aspirants from different parts of the State come here to prepare for various exams. The library also provides a good ecosystem where we can meet senior aspirants and learn from their experiences,” she said.</p><p>Kayalvizhi pointed out that many aspirants from other districts stay in hostels, paying guest accommodation or bachelor rooms in and around Chennai, and therefore do not possess a local address proof. “I stay in a hostel in Tambaram. Without library membership, I cannot access the book lending facility. If I need a book for my preparation, I have to travel to the library every day just to read it,” she said.</p><p>Aspirants have urged the library administration to simplify the procedure and allow readers from all districts to obtain membership using Aadhaar or any other valid government issued identity document, similar to the procedure followed for Chennai-based applicants.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Two brothers found dead in lodge room in Periamet</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-two-brothers-found-dead-in-lodge-room-in-periamet</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-two-brothers-found-dead-in-lodge-room-in-periamet#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">f88af668-135a-4a6b-a7e6-873a030426d9</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:48:47 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-02T14:48:47.678Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>suicide,chennai crime,Periamet,lodge</media:keywords><media:content height="349" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-22/5kzgbiue/202202120143467125_3yrold_child_dies_as_coconut_piece_gets_stuck_in_throat_in_SECVPF.gif" width="620"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image of a dead person]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image of a dead person]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-22/5kzgbiue/202202120143467125_3yrold_child_dies_as_coconut_piece_gets_stuck_in_throat_in_SECVPF.gif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Two days after they checked into the room, two brothers from Virudhunagar district was found dead in a lodge in Periamet on Thursday night in what the police suspect to be a suicide.</p><p>The deceased were identified as Karthik Raja (28) and his younger brother Vinoth (21), sons of Raj of Rosapatti in Virudhunagar.

The petition highlights that housing communities operate strictly on a non-profit, cost-recovery basis, collecting funds solely to pay for shared essential services such as security, water, common-area electricity, and lift maintenance. While direct payments to power and water utilities already qualify for the flat Rs 5 MDR rate, aggregating these payments through an RWA penalises citizens with a 0.4% fee.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/national/sc-notice-to-centre-others-on-plea-against-imposition-of-mdr-on-upi-payments-above-rs-2000">SC refuses to stay MDR on UPI payments above Rs 2,000; issues notice to Centre</a></aside><p>On a standard maintenance bill of Rs 10,000, this extracts Rs 40 per flat, eight times the utility rate, whereas on quarterly bills of Rs 25,000, the fee jumps to Rs 100 per transaction. This charge will ultimately be passed back to residents as higher maintenance costs, violating the core principle that consumers should not bear UPI charges.</p><p>“Applying a commercial 0.4% MDR on housing society maintenance is fundamentally irrational. RWAs do not retain trade margins or earn profits, warning that imposing commercial charges will force honorary, voluntary resident committees back to physical cheques, cash collections, and manual bank transfers,” stated Harsha Koda, co-founder of FOMRRA. “This threatens years of hard-won digital adoption, increases administrative chaos and disrupts statutory audits.”</p><p>The coalition also criticised broader regulatory misunderstandings, such as the 18% GST on maintenance fees above Rs 7,500, urging the government to stop treating non-profit communities as commercial businesses. Key demands include a dedicated Merchant Category Code (MCC) for registered RWAs and an immediate executive notification of the flat Rs 5 UPI rate before October 15.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: SI, constable suspended for taking Rs 10,000 bribe to release stolen bike</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-si-constable-suspended-for-taking-rs-10000-bribe-to-release-stolen-bike</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-si-constable-suspended-for-taking-rs-10000-bribe-to-release-stolen-bike#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6fa8145e-17b5-42c3-9e55-311863ccf7af</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:43:32 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-02T10:43:32.460Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Suspended,Constable,bribe,sub-inspector</media:keywords><media:content height="360" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-25/p8bw7q88/dt-next2026-05-1721b8a77jSuspend.avif" width="640"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representataive image for suspended]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Suspended]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-05-25/p8bw7q88/dt-next2026-05-1721b8a77jSuspend.avif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A sub-inspector and a constable attached to the North Beach police station in Chennai, who allegedly accepted a Rs 10,000 <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/bribe">bribe </a>to release a stolen two-wheeler, were placed under <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/suspension">suspension </a>based on Commissioner A Amalraj’s direction.</p><p>According to a complaint received by the Greater Chennai Police’s Internal Vigilance Cell (IVC), the complainant, a native of Sivaganga, was working in Tirupur when his two-wheeler was stolen.

The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.</p><p>The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.</p><h2>Petrol rates (per litre) in Chennai across last 5 days:</h2><p>October 01 - Rs 107.77</p><p>September 30 - Rs 107.77</p><p>September 29 - Rs 107.77</p><p>September 28 - Rs 107.77</p><p>September 26 - Rs 107.77</p><h2>Diesel rates (per litre) in Chennai across last 5 days:</h2><p>October 01 - Rs 99.55</p><p>September 30 - Rs 99.55</p><p>September 29 - Rs 99.55</p><p>September 28 - Rs 99.55</p><p>September 26 - Rs 99.55 </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>TBM ‘Adyar’ breaks through at RK Salai, CMRL achieves hat-trick in three days</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/tbm-adyar-breaks-through-at-rk-salai-cmrl-achieves-hat-trick-in-three-days</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/tbm-adyar-breaks-through-at-rk-salai-cmrl-achieves-hat-trick-in-three-days#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ab7ef780-39b2-4d11-8862-03372decfb19</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 02:44:51 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-02T02:44:51.813Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Adyar,CMRL,metro train,Tunnel Boring Machine</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-02-10/bm0psoyu/cmrl.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL)]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL)]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-02-10/bm0psoyu/cmrl.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) achieved a major tunnelling milestone with the Corridor 3 downline <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tunnel-boring-machine">tunnel boring machine</a> (TBM) '<a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/adyar">Adyar</a>' completing its breakthrough at RK Salai station, the third consecutive TBM breakthrough achieved under Phase-II in as many days.</p><p>After starting at Royapettah station on December 29, 2025, the machine took 277 days to break through the other end at RK Salai station, during which 'Adyar' had to negotiate several critical structures along Royapettah High Road, including Peters Bridge, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) building, Andhra School, and several shop lots.</p><p>The tunnel was constructed through silty sand with an overburden of approximately 9 to 13 metres. </p><p>As many as 11 cutterhead interventions were carried out during the tunnelling operation.</p><p>Despite the challenging urban environment and the presence of existing structures along the alignment, the drive was completed without any major ground settlement or adverse impact on existing infrastructure, said CMRL.</p><p>The latest breakthrough is part of a series of three TBM milestones achieved by CMRL in quick succession.</p><p>On September 29, the Corridor 3 downline TBM 'Kaveri' achieved a breakthrough at Government Kilpauk Medical College (KMC) Hospital station and Corridor 5 downline TBM 'Maruthan' broke through at Villivakkam Bus Terminus Metro station the next day.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/kaveri-tbm-completes-breakthrough-at-chennais-kilpauk-medical-college-station">Kaveri TBM completes breakthrough at Chennai's Kilpauk Medical College Station</a></aside><p>With 'Adyar' completing its drive on Thursday, <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/cmrl">CMRL</a> has achieved a hat-trick of TBM breakthroughs in three consecutive days.</p><p>The tunnelling work for the 12-km underground section of Corridor 3 between Kellys and Taramani is being executed by Larsen &amp;

<p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The price of <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/commercial-lpg-cylinder">commercial cooking gas cylinders</a> has been increased from October 1, adding to the operating costs of hotels, restaurants and other establishments that depend on LPG for their daily cooking needs. According to a<a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/commercial-cylinder-prices-rise"> Daily Thanthi report</a>, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Chennai has gone up by Rs 66.50.</p><h2>Chennai commercial LPG cylinder price rises</h2><p>Following the latest revision, a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder in Chennai is being sold at Rs 2,984, according to the Daily Thanthi report. The increase is expected to add to the expenses of hotels, restaurants, bakeries, tea shops and canteens, which use commercial LPG cylinders regularly.</p><p>Oil marketing companies revise LPG prices at the beginning of every month. The latest increase comes ahead of the festive season, when demand from hotels, restaurants and catering businesses generally increases. The higher cylinder price could therefore add to the overall operating expenses of such establishments.</p><h2>Commercial LPG prices rise across major cities</h2><p>The October 1 revision has also pushed up the price of 19-kg commercial LPG cylinders in several cities. As per agency reports, the increase ranges from Rs 62.50 to Rs 71.50 per cylinder. In Delhi, the price has risen by Rs 62.50 to Rs 2,810, while Kolkata has seen a Rs 70 increase, taking the price to Rs 2,954. In Mumbai, the revised price is Rs 2,764.50 after an increase of Rs 63.50.</p><p>Among southern cities, the commercial cylinder is priced at Rs 2,898 in Bengaluru after a Rs 67 increase, while Hyderabad has seen a Rs 69 hike, taking the price to Rs 3,065. In Thiruvananthapuram, the price has increased by Rs 65 to Rs 2,849. Patna has recorded the highest increase among the major cities, with the price rising by Rs 71.50 to Rs 3,100.50. The revised rates are effective from October 1.</p><h2>Domestic LPG cylinder price unchanged</h2><p>There has been no change in the price of domestic cooking gas cylinders in the latest revision. The 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder continues to be priced at Rs 957.50 in Chennai. The domestic cylinder price has remained unchanged despite the increase in commercial LPG rates.</p><p>The latest revision is part of the regular monthly adjustment of LPG prices. According to PTI, commercial LPG prices had increased by Rs 9.50 per cylinder in September, after being reduced by Rs 192 in August and Rs 183.50 in July. Between February and June, commercial LPG prices had risen by Rs 1,373 per 19-kg cylinder amid disruptions to global energy supplies and elevated international prices.</p><p>( <em>with inputs from PT</em>I )</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai gold price falls by Rs 240 on October 1, 2026; check today&apos;s gold, silver rates</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-gold-price-falls-by-rs-240-on-october-1-2026-check-todays-gold-silver-rates</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-gold-price-falls-by-rs-240-on-october-1-2026-check-todays-gold-silver-rates#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">018e2414-9be7-4943-93a8-09294231b92e</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 04:53:51 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-01T04:53:51.223Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Gold price today,Silver price today,Gold and Silver price in Chennai</media:keywords><media:content height="2244" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-07-17/3ckvofi9/PTI05222026000260B.jpg" width="3990"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ A salesman arranges a necklace at a jewellery shop.]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Jewellery shop, in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-07-17/3ckvofi9/PTI05222026000260B.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Gold prices in the city fell by Rs 240 per sovereign on Thursday (October 1).</p><p>The yellow metal is now priced at Rs 1,09,440 per sovereign and Rs 13,680 per gram, after a decrease of Rs 30 per gram.</p><p>Earlier, on September 30, the yellow metal was priced at Rs 1,09,680 per sovereign and Rs 13,710 per gram.</p><h2>Silver price decreased</h2><p>Meanwhile, silver prices decreased by Rs 5, to sell at Rs 240 per gram (Rs 2,40,000 per kg) on October 1.</p><p>On September 30, silver was priced at Rs 245 per gram.</p><h2>Gold rate today vs gold rate on this day, last year</h2><p>Gold remains significantly higher compared to last year.

The <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/arrest">arrest</a> 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> <aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/edit/editorialstrict-checks-on-drug-supply-chain">Editorial: Strict checks on drug supply chain</a></aside><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. Following pressure from the SIT, he returned to India and was taken into custody upon his arrival at the airport early Monday.</p><p>The investigators are probing the extent of the fake medicine network, the locations where the alleged manufacturing and distribution activities were carried out, and how long the racket had been operating.</p><p>It can be noted that a major fake medicine scam centred around Bengaluru involved the seizure of counterfeit, expired, and relabeled life-saving, ICU, and cancer drugs valued at over Rs 5 crore. The SIT arrested a local pharmacy owner and found that the illicit network supplied compromised drugs to over 90 hospitals and clinics.</p><p>Later, the SIT conducted raids which expanded across multiple locations in Karnataka, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The Karnataka Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) has cancelled 16 drug licenses and suspended eight others belonging to retailers, wholesalers, and distributors tied to the scam.</p><p>Among the suspended licences was the Pfizer C&amp;F (Carrying and Forwarding) Depot. Karnataka Health Minister UT Khader stated that the agency failed to cooperate with investigators or provide the reference standards needed to labtest the chemical components of the seized fake medications.</p><p>As counterfeit cancer and critical care drugs were distributed, the</p><p>Health Department is actively trying to track down affected patients to evaluate their health status.</p><p>The Health Department has strongly urged the public to check labels carefully for suspicious packaging and report any non-scanning QR codes directly to Drug Enforcement authorities.</p><p>A Special Investigation Team (SIT) and the Drugs Control Department arrested the pharmacy owner, Veeresh Kumar Jain of Krupa Healthcare in Bengaluru and seized spurious medicines worth over Rs 5 crore.</p><h2>Working with authorities, says Pfizer</h2><p>In a statement, Pfizer said it has been working together with the authorities through the past one month when the matter of counterfeit medicines was brought to its attention. "Since then, we have taken several actions to support the investigation, including removing, from the market, Pfizer batches (where batch numbers were copied by counterfeit) to avoid confusion, supporting to differentiate between original and counterfeit product, and providing technical and other relevant information related to the affected batches," Pfizer said, adding that the company was working with the authorities to resolve the open queries.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>77-year-old recovers after minimally invasive surgery at Humayun Hospital

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>Chennai Citizen Connect: Perambur residents flag elevated &amp; defective SWD work, seek GCC inspection</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-perambur-residents-flag-elevated-defective-swd-work-seek-gcc-inspection</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-citizen-connect-perambur-residents-flag-elevated-defective-swd-work-seek-gcc-inspection#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">46e7ac64-2504-4752-a73c-80dd882b87bf</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 02:20:33 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-01T02:20:33.256Z</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 Corporation,residents,Perambur,Chennai SWD works</media:keywords><media:content height="1126" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-01/5ubuul0g/Page-4-citizen-connect.jpg" width="1969"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Stormwater drain work under way at the intersection of Venkatraman Canal Street-Perambur High Road North Side]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Stormwater drain work under way at the intersection of Venkatraman Canal Street-Perambur High Road North Side]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-01/5ubuul0g/Page-4-citizen-connect.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/perambur">Perambur</a> residents have raised concerns about the ongoing <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/stormwater-drains">stormwater drain </a>(SWD) work at the Venkatraman Canal Street and Perambur High Road North Side junction, alleging that the newly constructed drain is more than a foot above the existing road level and raises safety and drainage concerns.</p><p>Residents have urged <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/greater-chennai-corporation-gcc">Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) </a>officials to inspect the site and order corrective measures before the SWD work on Perambur High Road North Side is completed.</p><p>According to residents, the elevated SWD structure has created a significant level mismatch with Venkatraman Canal Street, affecting pedestrian and two-wheeler movement and potentially altering the natural flow of rainwater.

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 <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tribal-communities">tribal</a> students from Hasanur and surrounding hill regions of <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/erode">Erode</a> 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><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/manickam-tagore-condemns-pushing-of-tribal-students-from-pudukkottai-bus-demands-probe-and-compensation">Manickam Tagore condemns 'pushing' of tribal students from Pudukkottai bus, demands probe and compensation

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. Further investigations are on.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
