Despite relatively low customer turnout following a series of festive occasions, regular buyers continued to visit the market, according to a <a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/kasimedu-fish-prices-rise-during-aippasi-pournami">Daily Thanthi report.</a></p><p>The Kasimedu fishing harbour supplies fish to various parts of Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states. The market usually attracts large crowds from Chennai and its surrounding areas on weekends, particularly Saturdays and Sundays.</p><h2>Kasimedu market sees sluggish sales after Purattasi</h2><p>Customer turnout at the market had declined over the past five weeks during the Tamil month of Purattasi, when many Hindus avoid non-vegetarian food. Even after the month ended, traders did not see the expected increase in footfall.</p><p>Special occasions, including Ayudha Puja and Aippasi Annabhishekam, also contributed to the slower business, the report said. However, regular customers and members of the public continued to purchase fish over the weekend.</p><h2>Low fish supply pushes up prices</h2><p>Traders attributed the increase in prices to lower fish availability rather than a surge in demand. A wholesale trader said that although crowds remained relatively small because of the consecutive festive occasions, regular customers continued to make purchases.</p><p>The trader also expressed hope that more people would visit the market the following Sunday, potentially improving sales.</p><h2>Kasimedu fish prices per kg</h2><p>The prices of various fish and seafood varieties sold at the market on Sunday were:</p><ul><li><p>Seer fish (Vanjaram): Rs 950</p></li><li><p>Sea bass (Koduva): Rs 600</p></li><li><p>Pomfret: Rs 500 for small; Rs 800 for large</p></li><li><p>Barracuda (Seela): Rs 500</p></li><li><p>Trevally (Paarai): Rs 500</p></li><li><p>Red snapper (Sankara): Rs 350</p></li><li><p>Indian mackerel (Ayalai): Rs 250</p></li><li><p>Prawns: Rs 250 for small; Rs 600 for large</p></li><li><p>Rock/tiger prawns: Rs 1,200</p></li><li><p>Octopus: Rs 300</p></li><li><p>Squid: Rs 400</p></li><li><p>Cuttlefish: Rs 5,500</p></li></ul>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>TN Crime Files: Latest crime news from Chennai and across Tamil Nadu</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/tamilnadu-chennai-crime-files-murder-case-robbery</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/tamilnadu-chennai-crime-files-murder-case-robbery#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">33830bbf-a1d5-4ce3-a29f-bbe7d9ec6921</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2026 17:17:43 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-26T16:50:52.960Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>violence against women,murder case,Crimes,Robbery case,chennai crime,burglary,theft,tamil nadu crime</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-23/k1lpowcv/AI-1.jpg" width="1660"><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/2026-10-23/k1lpowcv/AI-1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><category>Tamil Nadu</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> From major crimes and arrests to ongoing police investigations, crime incidents continue to unfold across Chennai and Tamil Nadu.

They have been asking the conversion of the 28-year-old overhead (OH) network into underground (UG) cables, but their appeals have yielded no results.</p><p>GV Subramaniam, president, Girija Nagar People’s Welfare Association, said, “Residents have approached ministers, MLA and senior officials of the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) over the past two years, but no concrete steps have been taken.”</p><p>The danger was underscored by two recent incidents. M Rajendra Prasath, vice-president of the association, said a snapped mainline cable electrocuted and killed a dog nearly two months ago. Two weeks ago, at around 2.30 pm, a live phase wire snapped shortly after schoolchildren had passed the spot. Residents rushed out to alert pedestrians and prevent anyone from approaching the fallen wire.</p><p>With 300 residences and a private school, Girija Nagar Main Road is particularly vulnerable, as it’s also a major route for pedestrians and children returning home.</p><p>“A meeting with the TNEB chairman about a year-and-a-half ago, attended by Ward 4 councillor R Jayaraman, had also ended with assurances of swift action that were not fulfilled,” he added.</p><p>In that petition, they had sought conversion of OH lines to UG lines in Girija Nagar, Brindavan Nagar, Ramanathapuram, Bhajani Kovil Street, Magaliyamman Street, Paraneeswarar Nagar, VP Nagar, Jyothi Nagar, Shanmugapuram, TS Gopal Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Balaji Nagar, Mahalakshmi Nagar, Mullai Nagar West, and Charles Nagar in Ward 4 of the Tiruvottiyur zone. A new petition has been submitted to the newly elected MLA and TNPDCL officials about the same.</p><p>A senior TNPDCL official told <em>DT Next</em>, “Overhead cables in the Tondiarpet division, including Girija Nagar and nearby areas such as Manali, Manali New Town and Sadayankuppam, had yet to be converted into underground cables. Replacing them in these areas will take time. Meanwhile, the department will tighten the sagging cables in Girija Nagar.” </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Alliance Française of Madras aims to deepen French cultural ties in Chennai</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/i-hope-to-add-an-indian-quality-to-my-personality-olivier-ortiz</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/i-hope-to-add-an-indian-quality-to-my-personality-olivier-ortiz#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6e264f79-b14f-4736-adda-7333f5f45eed</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Oct 2026 01:52:51 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-26T01:52:51.161Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Merin James</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371182</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Alliance Française of Madras,Franco-Indian,Olivier Ortiz</media:keywords><media:content height="1706" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/gh2by29k/Olivier-Ortiz.jpeg" width="2560"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Olivier Ortiz]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Olivier Ortiz]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/gh2by29k/Olivier-Ortiz.jpeg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>In a chat with Merin James, Olivier Ortiz, the new Director of the Alliance Française of Madras, on strengthening Franco-Indian cultural ties, embracing new approaches to language learning and discovering Chennai’s vibrant arts scene</p><p>What drew you to Chennai and the role of Director at Alliance Française of Madras? How has your experience across different countries shaped your expectations of the city?</p><p>From the perspective of someone in France, India is a dream destination. The name 'Madras' is very well known, and, of course, Chennai is quite close to Puducherry, where a French presence remains very much alive. Every city and country is different. People often say you become a different person with every language you speak. I cannot help but absorb a little of each country I have visited. I hope to soon add an 'Indian' quality to my own personality.</p><p>Alliance Française of Madras has been promoting French language and culture in Chennai since 1953. How do you plan to build on this legacy while making the institution relevant to a new generation?</p><p>With pride and confidence in the future. We must rise to challenges and support all generations as they navigate change. Innovations are transforming teaching methods, but I see this as a natural evolution. I aim to strengthen Alliance Française de Madras by enriching the French experience we offer and making our courses, as well as our premises, more engaging, modern and unique.</p><p>Chennai has a rich and distinct cultural identity, from classical music and dance to contemporary art, theatre and cinema. How do you see French and Tamil cultures engaging with each other through the institution’s programmes?</p><p>The goal is to maintain a high standard of excellence while discovering emerging artists and fostering a dialogue between our two dynamic cultures. India has an undeniable appeal. The French Embassy, with which I work in close collaboration, regularly puts forward new proposals and ideas to strengthen our cooperation. Furthermore, Alliance Française de Madras (AFM) enjoys a solid reputation and has high-quality facilities and a dynamic team, which also enable us to develop our own programmes.<br></p><p> Language learning is changing, particularly among younger audiences. How do you plan to attract more students to French and encourage them to explore French culture beyond the classroom?</p><p>We focus on creating experiences and building bridges between formal lessons and cultural events. Artificial intelligence is a valuable asset today, and many tools can be integrated into courses to improve learning. In some classes, we use conversational agents (chatbots) to encourage more fluid interactions. We also plan to incorporate virtual reality in the near future, an approach that is sure to spark interest. Furthermore, we aim to expand our courses for children. Learning French is a major asset for them, given the global reach of the language.</p><p>What are some new initiatives or collaborations you hope to introduce during your tenure? Are there plans to work more closely with local artists, cultural organisations and independent practitioners in Chennai?</p><p>I believe we will pursue both approaches: continuing to collaborate with prominent institutions while also engaging with emerging artists. For now, I want to get a sense of local customs and practices. I have been in this city for only two days. Furthermore, thanks to my predecessor and the entire AFM team, a cultural programme is already in place for the coming months. Maintaining that standard will be a significant challenge. I have already begun meeting partners and artists, and I am certain that I will make many wonderful discoveries.</p><p>Having built an international career in cultural exchange, what does Franco-Indian friendship mean to you today? What would you like Alliance Française of Madras to achieve under your leadership over the next few years?</p><p>Franco-Indian friendship is a reality. The Alliance has existed for more than 73 years, and the French Embassy carries out an extensive cooperation programme across various sectors. The year 2026 is dedicated to Franco-Indian innovation. Furthermore, there is a network of Alliances throughout the country that aims to bring our two cultures and nations closer through encounters, the arts and, of course, education. I intend to dedicate myself to this mission, ensuring a balance between excellence and accessibility. Come regularly and see!<br></p><p>Chennai has a unique blend of tradition and modernity, with a vibrant arts scene and a growing contemporary cultural space. What has stood out to you about the city so far, and are there aspects of Chennai’s cultural life that you would like to explore more closely during your tenure?</p><p>I have seen very little so far. However, I know that all my colleagues would love to visit Chennai because of its cultural vibrancy. I am keen to discover spaces dedicated to contemporary art. I missed the most recent 'Contemporary Now' event, but I hope to attend the next one. I would also be delighted to explore more traditional sites, such as the DakshinaChitra museum.<br>At our last event, 'La Nuit Blanche', we hosted many artists rooted in traditional Tamil folk culture. We also collaborate with other international cultural centres, such as the Goethe-Institut. I have been told that jazz has an important place here, which is why we have scheduled several jazz concerts for the coming months. Just as I wish to discover as many cultural venues as possible here, I hope the public will learn about us and visit Alliance Française. I would be happy to offer our gallery or exhibition space as a platform to showcase the enduring creativity that thrives in Chennai and Tamil Nadu.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Rainwater stagnation troubles residents of Kodambakkam, Nungambakkam</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/rainwater-stagnation-troubles-residents-of-kodambakkam-nungambakkam</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/rainwater-stagnation-troubles-residents-of-kodambakkam-nungambakkam#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">18b28a9c-f6f3-4430-8c61-e3b628978408</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Oct 2026 01:52:22 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-26T01:52:22.119Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Nungambakkam,Rainwater,Kodambakkam</media:keywords><media:content height="585" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/2i77ehjh/Dr.Subbarayan-Nagar-Main-Road-kodambakkam1.jpeg" width="1040"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ rainwater staggned in streets of Kodambakkam]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ rainwater staggned in streets of Kodambakkam]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/2i77ehjh/Dr.Subbarayan-Nagar-Main-Road-kodambakkam1.jpeg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Residents and motorists in parts of <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/kodambakkam">Kodambakkam </a>and <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/nungambakkam">Nungambakkam </a>have been facing difficulties as <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/rainwater">rainwater </a>has remained stagnant on roads for the past one week.

How do courts balance these conflicting priorities consistently across similar cases?</p><p>— Arulmozhi, Villivakkam, Chennai</p><p>While you discuss the safety aspects in carrying out abortion, the ceiling period in the Act, and the practical side of the issue, you must note that the US Supreme Court reversed the decision that gave a woman the right to abort (Roe v. Wade, 1973) after 50 years in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organisation (2022). The court ruled 5-4 to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion, stating that the US Constitution does not confer such a right and that the issue is not deeply rooted in the nation's history and traditions. In that aspect, our country is far advanced regarding a woman’s right to abort.</p><p>The 24-week ceiling has not been strictly adhered to in several court decisions. Ultimately, it is a decision that must be left to medical experts and not debated on academic grounds.</p><p>----</p><p><strong>Increasing station contingency fund alone won’t stop cops from fleecing complainants</strong></p><p>The Tamil Nadu government recently allocated Rs 71 crore to enhance contingency funds for police stations to meet routine operational expenses and curb corruption. Earlier, whenever I went to file a complaint or request a CSR copy, local station officers often demanded money for stationery, typing, fuel, or photostat charges under the pretext of lack of official departmental funds.</p><p>Now that the State government has officially sanctioned these contingency funds for daily administrative costs, does demanding such money from complainants constitute illegal gratification or extortion under the Prevention of Corruption Act? What legal remedy or recourse does a citizen have if police officers still demand out-of-pocket expenses for basic station services?</p><p>— Elango, Kancheepuram</p><p>The contingency fund issue for police stations has been there for several decades. It is not merely a matter of stationery supply. Firstly, police stations and the department have not been included in the supply list by the Director of Stationery and Printing, even though it is one place where such requirements are heavy. Therefore, a complainant who goes to a police station is made to run around to get these items, besides facing many other demands by the police.</p><p>Even if you increase the quantum of contingency funds for a police station, the problem of making demands on complainants is not going to be solved until policemen realise that they are public servants and not parasites. It is high time the essential requirements for a police station are assessed and properly budgeted, rather than leaving the expenditure to be met out of contingencies.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Onion prices rise again at Chennai&apos;s Koyambedu market, touch Rs 60 per kg

Hair that stays damp for hours, sweat trapped under helmets and dupattas, getting soaked during the commute, and tying up hair while it is still wet can all create a warm, moist environment for the scalp.</p><h2></h2><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/dengue-monsoon-fevers-in-tamil-nadu-symptoms-testing-platelet-count-warning-signs-prevention">Dengue & monsoon fevers in Tamil Nadu: Symptoms, testing, platelet count, warning signs & prevention
</a></aside><h2>Dandruff, scalp psoriasis flare-up</h2><p>Dandruff, also known as seborrhoeic dermatitis, is associated with Malassezia, a yeast that lives on everyone’s scalp and can multiply in warm, humid and oily conditions. During the rainy season, people may wash their hair less frequently, dry it poorly or apply excessive oil, potentially worsening the problem. The result can be itching, greasy yellowish-white flakes and redness. Constant scratching and inflammation can contribute to increased hair shedding.</p><p>Scalp psoriasis can also worsen during the monsoon. Reduced sunlight exposure, infections, stress and scratching can all trigger flareups. It looks different from dandruff, presenting as thick, silvery, well-defined plaques that may extend beyond the hairline to the forehead, behind the ears or along the nape of the neck. Scratching or forcibly removing the scales can cause bleeding and damage the hair.</p> <h2></h2><h2>The dengue connection</h2><p>This year’s dengue season adds another layer to the problem. Chennai recorded 4,592 cases by the end of September, including 1,293 in September alone.</p> <h2></h2><h2>How does a fever affect your hair?</h2><p>A high fever, severe illness, significant weight loss or major physical stress can push many hair follicles into their resting phase at the same time. Around two to three months later, these hairs begin to fall out together. This condition is called telogen effluvium. This means people who had dengue in August and September may notice increased hair shedding from November through January, often after they have fully recovered and may have forgotten about the fever.</p> <h2></h2><p>It can be frightening. You may lose handfuls of hair while washing it and notice that your ponytail has become thinner. The good news is that telogen effluvium usually resolves on its own, with hair growth recovering over three to six months once the trigger has passed. Be patient. Most people need little more than adequate nutrition and time, although persistent or severe shedding may require medical evaluation.</p> <h2></h2><p>A sudden bout of hair fall this monsoon may be linked to a fever you have already recovered from or a scalp condition aggravated by humidity. Both can often be managed, and fever-related hair shedding is usually temporary. Keep your scalp clean and dry, eat a balanced diet, and consult a doctor about whether blood tests are necessary. See a dermatologist if you notice bald patches or if excessive shedding persists for more than a few months.</p> <p><em><strong>—The writer is a plastic and hair transplant surgeon, heading the team at Follicle Hair Clinic</strong></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Check out petrol and diesel prices in Chennai on October 25, 2026</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/check-out-petrol-and-diesel-prices-in-chennai-on-october-25-2026</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/check-out-petrol-and-diesel-prices-in-chennai-on-october-25-2026#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">546a87f0-cc77-4db3-bfde-8b5d77dd6461</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 02:29:38 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-25T02:29:38.211Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>diesel price today,Petrol Price Today,Petrol and diesel price in Chennai</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-01-14/nrwvrwxx/Petrol-5.jpg" width="1500"><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/2026-01-14/nrwvrwxx/Petrol-5.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The price of petrol and diesel in the city on Sunday (October 25) remains unchanged.</p><p>According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Sunday.</p><p>On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71.

In a June 9, 2026 order, a division bench of justices N Sathish Kumar and M Jothiraman recorded the petitioner's submission on the 28 cases. It sought to have bonded labour cases treated as sensitive, requiring day-to-day trials, and asked the court to direct the Commissioner of Labour and Director of Prosecution to complete trials within a prescribed timeline.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/release-from-bondage-first-step-only-map-hotspots-for-prevention-activists">Tamil Nadu: Release from bonded labour first step only, map hotspots for prevention, urge activists</a></aside><p>The petition argued that criminal cases against the accused continued to remain pending despite the State's procedure for the rescue and release of bonded labourers.

Tucked away from Chennai’s busy dining and nightlife scene, the speakeasy-style restobar keeps its entrance discreet. Guests book through Instagram and receive the day’s password. First-timers reveal the code at reception before being ushered inside, while regulars have grown familiar with the ritual.</p><p>For managing partner Santhosh Zachariah Abraham and founding partner RVS Kiran, the concept draws inspiration from the backroom bars of Prohibition-era America, where people gathered to drink, exchange ideas, enjoy music and socialise.</p><p>After spending 15 years in different parts of India, Santhosh returned to Chennai, finding the city’s bars and clubs too loud, with overly sweet drinks and food that fell short of his expectations. Along with Kiran, he set out to create a space for conversations over punchy food and thoughtfully prepared drinks. “Kiran and I started MadCo out of necessity rather than a whim,” he says.</p><p>The reservations-only format has helped build a community of regulars, with Santhosh estimating that nearly 80 per cent of guests return. Many eventually become friends of the team. The Instagram booking system also allows the team to connect with guests before they arrive, while feedback from regulars helps maintain consistency.</p><p>The food, meanwhile, is far from an afterthought. Drawing on South Indian flavours, particularly Andhra influences, alongside Asian inspirations and comfort food, the menu reflects culinary consultant and chef Mathangi Kumar’s approach to experimentation.</p><p>Santhosh recalls that the initial menu trials, based on the founders’ conflicting suggestions, resulted in enjoyable but generic dishes. They eventually stepped back and gave Mathangi the freedom to follow her instincts.</p><p>The brief was to avoid trends and familiar bar offerings while ensuring every dish retained at least one recognisable flavour. Food, Santhosh believes, should surprise people while remaining enjoyable and evoking memories. The cocktail list caters to different palates, from refreshing serves to clarified cocktails and spirit-forward options. The team prepares shrubs, tinctures, syrups and cordials in-house wherever possible, using premium spirits. MadCo also offers a Temperance menu of non-alcoholic drinks for guests who want the complexity of a cocktail without the alcohol.</p><p>There are no rigid food-and-drink pairings, Santhosh says. The drinks list includes Jasmine Tequila, a Penicillin shot, Bramble Tart and Pirate’s Old Fashioned, while the Temperance menu offers an alternative for those who prefer not to drink.</p><figure><img alt="RVS Kiran and Santhosh Zachairah Abraham" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/wxhsdmbe/131119.jpg" /><figcaption>RVS Kiran and Santhosh Zachairah Abraham</figcaption></figure><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/beyond-the-cup-takes-vegetarian-food-beyond-the-familiar">Beyond The Cup takes vegetarian food beyond the familiar  </a></aside><figure><img alt="Avakkai oil fried rice" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/zsi7l7ll/1000432134.jpg" /><figcaption>Avakkai oil fried rice</figcaption></figure><h2>Then, follow your appetite</h2><p>For Mathangi, the freedom to experiment has been central to developing MadCo’s menu. Rather than pursuing fusion for its own sake, she explores how familiar flavours can be presented differently. The Gongura Tempura is a good example. After finding the idea of palak patta chaat uninspiring, she experimented with other greens and settled on gongura, a sorrel leaf commonly used in Andhra cooking.</p><p>She developed a batter at home that would remain crisp, finishing the fried leaves with veluli karam, a spice mix of chilli, dried garlic, cumin and salt. A chilli pickle aioli completes the dish. The combination brings together the tempura technique and gongura’s pungent flavour without deliberately setting out to fuse Japanese and Andhra cuisines. Mathangi also hopes better-quality gongura can eventually be grown locally. “It’s not fusion for the sake of fusion. It’s just food that is exciting,” she explains.</p><p>Her approach draws on childhood memories, too. Mathangi recalls her mother adding boiled vegetables to avocado fried rice to encourage her to eat them. That memory inspired MadCo’s Avakkai Oil Fried Rice, which combines spicy avakkai pickle oil with a tornado egg.</p><p>Her take on Sri Lankan kothu features vegetables, parotta, spiced masala and cheese that melts into the gravy. The Omu Rice combines ghee-coconut rice, pandan and kalpasi with a tornado egg, salna and a choice of chicken or mutton. Both offer complete, personal-sized meals.</p><p>Kiran says ingredient quality is central to the menu. The founders source meat from Kerala, use freshly made cheeses and obtain avakkai pickle from a home cook in Andhra Pradesh. The Black Pepper Lotus Stem, featured in MadCo’s Hall of Fame, uses lotus stem imported from Thailand, cooked with black pepper, curry leaves and butter to preserve its flavour.</p><p>Weekend pop-ups allow the team to test dishes inspired by Mexican, Asian, Sri Lankan and modern Indian cooking. Feedback from regulars helps determine which creations make it onto the permanent menu. Mathangi works closely with the founders to refine flavours, balance and texture, while Kiran focuses on ensuring the dishes can be prepared consistently by the kitchen team.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/e3b87gla/b7b02bc3-45a1-455d-ac85-5f49e72198bf.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="Spicy beef with basil " src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/18jr35z7/0K4A0382.jpg" /><figcaption>Spicy beef with basil </figcaption></figure><h2>And save room for more</h2><p>The Gongura Tempura makes an immediate impression. Crisp, golden leaves dusted with podi are balanced by the chilli pickle aioli, giving a familiar South Indian ingredient a different form without losing its character.</p><p>The Truffle Toast, made with mushroom cream cheese pâté, mushroom duxelle and truffle oil, delivers concentrated mushroom flavour in a simple preparation.</p><p>The Amritsari Paneer, served with Hokkaido pao buns, stracciatella and coriander chilli butter, is rich and creamy. The Five-Spice Mushrooms, with spring onion bulbs and garlic-chilli crumble, pair particularly well with rice.</p><p>The standout is the Avakkai Oil Fried Rice. The heat of the pickle oil gives the dish a distinctive character, while the tornado egg adds to its appeal. The garlic rice is another highlight, with the garlic cooked just right. Paired with the Five-Spice Mushrooms, it makes for a satisfying combination.</p><p>Among the non-vegetarian options, the Spicy Beef with Basil stands out. Thinly sliced, velveted beef is tossed with banana peppers, onions, green peppercorns, basil and minced chilli. The beef remains tender, while the basil adds freshness to the punchy, peppery flavours.</p><p>Dessert comes in the form of the Boozy Chocolate Orange Cake. Soft and rich, with a complementary hint of orange, it provides a satisfying finish.</p><figure><img alt="Black pepper lotus stem" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-25/d0w3eblz/Black-pepper-lotus-stem.jpg" /><figcaption>Black pepper lotus stem</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Nine days of rain add 28 days of drinking water to Chennai’s reserves</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/nine-days-of-rain-add-28-days-of-drinking-water-to-chennais-reserves</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/nine-days-of-rain-add-28-days-of-drinking-water-to-chennais-reserves#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">560051b5-33cb-4ece-bb3b-549170e6924f</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 01:54:41 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-25T01:54:41.022Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>rainfall,drinking water,Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB)</media:keywords><media:content height="1080" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2023-03/84f9e05a-aac9-47b8-a33b-57fd1b8dde22/NATION.jpg" width="1920"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB)]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB)]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2023-03/84f9e05a-aac9-47b8-a33b-57fd1b8dde22/NATION.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Nine days of persistent <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/rainfall">rainfall </a>have added enough water to Chennai’s reservoirs to meet the city’s <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/drinking-water">drinking water</a> needs for another 28 days, with combined storage in six major waterbodies rising by nearly 1 TMC since October 15.</p><p>The storage increased by 984.98 million cubic feet (mcft), from 4,485.68 mcft on October 15 to 5,470.66 mcft on October 24.

But the absence of opportunities does not mean an absence of talent. This is the idea behind Tattva, an inclusive art initiative by V-Excel Educational Trust that has grown from a small gathering of 30 to 40 artists into a festival featuring more than 270 participants.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-24/ixhosj2e/1-1.JPG" /></figure><p>The fifth edition of Tattva will take place from October 28 to November 1, bringing together artists from across Tamil Nadu and Kolkata for five days of exhibitions, workshops, live demonstrations and collaborative art activities.</p><p>“People with special needs do not always have enough opportunities or a big platform to showcase their talent. But that does not mean they lack talent. Tattva has created a space for them to showcase their work,” says Gayathri Suryanarayanan, head of the Youth Empowerment Services (YES) unit at V-Excel Educational Trust.</p><p>Having been associated with the festival since its first edition, Gayathri has witnessed the growth of both the event and its participants. She says the increasing number of registrations reflects how awareness about the platform has grown among artists, the institutions they attend and their families. “The participants’ parents are equally thrilled and excited. There is no competition here. Every artwork is unique and valued equally and we felicitate all the participating artists,” she adds.</p><p>The festival welcomes artists across age groups, from children aged four and above to senior participants. Its approach focuses on recognising individual creativity rather than ranking artists against one another. The process begins with selecting a theme and inviting registrations from across regions. Art kits, including brushes and palettes, are sent to participants, who create their works and return them to the organisers. The artworks are then framed and assessed by art experts, with selected works receiving awards. Every participating artist is felicitated.</p><p>For Gayathri, the most satisfying change has been the way people have begun to respond to the initiative. What started as a modest exhibition has developed into a larger platform for recognition, participation and exchange.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-24/jdx3zbdb/2.jpg" /></figure><p>This year, Tattva will also place greater emphasis on helping participants explore new art forms. “On October 29, there will be workshops in decoupage, quilling, clay modelling, pottery and sculpting, conducted in association with Life and Art Academy. These artists may be creatively inclined, but they might not always have the opportunity to go out and learn a new technique or skill. We want to give them that exposure. If they discover an interest or aptitude for a particular art form, they can continue developing it,” Gayathri says.</p><p>The festival’s impact can be seen in the experiences of returning participants. Jeevan, who has been part of Tattva for the past three years, enjoys drawing landscapes and portraits and spends his weekends painting. “I like drawing landscapes and portraits. I also like cartoons. I feel happy to participate in Tattva and get a good response from the audience,” he says. Some of his paintings have also been selected for the art auction.</p><p>Annette, another participant, finds inspiration in nature. “I like drawing nature. I draw on alternate days and I also like reading English comic books,” she says. For artists such as Jeevan and Annette, Tattva offers an opportunity to share their interests with a wider audience and have their work appreciated beyond their immediate circles.</p><p>Organised around five thematic pillars, Drishti, Srishti, Anubhav, Vistara and Ekattva, Tattva extends beyond an art exhibition. The programme includes a collaborative mural exploring disability, creativity and inclusion, as well as live demonstrations and opportunities to purchase artworks. A special auction on October 25 at Hotel Savera will offer selected works to collectors and art enthusiasts, creating another avenue for artists to gain recognition and earn from their work.</p><p>The festival opens on October 28 at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mylapore, with an inauguration, felicitation and the Tattva Stalwarts Awards. The October 29 workshops will be held at Sringeri Bharati Vidyashram, T. Nagar, followed by the mural activity at the Centre of Excellence for Autism, KK Nagar, on October 30. The art gallery and live demonstrations will be held on October 31 and November 1 at Tamil Nadu Dr J. Jayalalithaa University of Music and Fine Arts.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Mayor Priya alleges protocol snub; minister says need not wait for invite</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-mayor-priya-alleges-protocol-snub-minister-says-need-not-wait-for-invite</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-mayor-priya-alleges-protocol-snub-minister-says-need-not-wait-for-invite#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">be11204a-575a-472a-a292-eb6f7f223a6a</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:35:29 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-24T14:35:29.049Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Mayor Priya,protocol</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-24/vcsjtv98/Mayor-1.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai: Mayor Priya alleges protocol snub; minister says need not wait for invite]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai: Mayor Priya alleges protocol snub; minister says need not wait for invite]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-24/vcsjtv98/Mayor-1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A political row over <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/mayor-priya">Mayor R Priya</a>’s absence during <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/protocol">inspections </a>and review meetings on rain preparedness escalated on Saturday, with the Mayor alleging that the state government was ignoring her, while School Education Minister Rajmohan said she did not need a formal invitation to visit Ripon Building. </p><p>Priya, on Friday, said she was not informed in advance about Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s visits to Ripon Buildings, the headquarters of the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), making it difficult for her to be present.</p><p>“When I am inspecting another area, I am told only afterwards that the CM has visited Ripon Buildings.

The authorities resurfaced the road instead of restoring the sections damaged by the Storm Water Drain (SWD) work first. The quality of the work was so poor that the road began deteriorating within weeks, forcing the authorities to turn their attention to the SWD.</p><p>Recent heavy rain has worsened several interior roads in Ward 71, including Patel Road, Chinnaiyan New Colony 1st Main Road, Vadivelu 1st Cross Street and School Road towards Bharathi Road, as well as stretches of Madhavaram High Road.</p><p>The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) took up sewage pipeline replacement in the interior streets. After completing the work, contractors left the excavated pits only partially filled with debris. GCC officials have since dug up the roads again and filled the pits with wet mix.</p><p>Raghukumar Choodamani, Convenor of the Perambur Development Neighbourhood Forum, said: "These internal roads serve as a vital route for residents to reach Perambur High Road (north side). Even before the heavy rains, we raised our concerns, and GCC officials have now assured us that the road cuts will be restored with concrete in the coming days, subject to weather conditions."</p><p>He added that the concerns were raised at the Ward 71 Area Sabha meeting and at a volunteers' meeting at Shenoy Nagar chaired by the Regional Deputy Commissioner (Central). Residents have urged the GCC to complete the pending restoration at the earliest, ensure quality workmanship and prevent a recurrence of this cycle of road cutting and repairs.</p><blockquote>Attributing the delay to the ongoing tender process, a Corporation official assured that Patel Road, Chennaimaiya Street and other roads will be relaid at the earliest</blockquote><p>Responding to the issue, a Corporation official said, "Right now, the tender process is under way. Patel Road, Chennaimaiya Street and other roads will be relaid once tenders are awarded."</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Two new lifts open at Tambaram station</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/two-new-lifts-open-at-tambaram-station</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/two-new-lifts-open-at-tambaram-station#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">cdec8841-f3ee-4bf1-ba1c-66f8e1652c98</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Oct 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-24T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Tambaram station,lifts</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-23/eohbo2b3/1-9.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Lift]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Lift]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-23/eohbo2b3/1-9.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: Two new <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/lifts">lifts </a>connecting platforms 1 and 2, and platforms 3 and 4, at <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tambaram-station">Tambaram </a>railway station were opened for passenger use on Friday, as the Southern Railway carried out passenger convenience measures with overall station upgradation under Amrit Bharat scheme yet to commence. </p><p>The lifts are connected to the new 8-metre wide foot-overbridge (FOB) and are intended to make platform access easier for persons with disabilities, senior citizens and passengers carrying heavy luggage, among others, the Chennai Division of Southern Railway said in a press release.</p><p>The remaining works including 10 new escalators connecting to the new FOB are being expedited, with targeted completion by December 2026.

The team investigated a molecular rotor made of helicene, a spiral-shaped molecule suspended between two gold electrodes.</p><p>When voltage was applied, the molecule moved through a cyclic sequence of configurations. Reversing the voltage polarity reversed the sequence, demonstrating electrical control over the direction of molecular motion.</p><p>In all 122 cases where transition directions could be determined, the researchers observed the same cyclic sequence. They also recorded a sharp increase in current as the molecule shifted from stepwise movement to continuous rotation, passing through configurations that allowed electrons to flow more readily.</p><p>“An exciting aspect of this work is that molecular motion is not merely a consequence of electrical transport; it can also facilitate the passage of electrons through the molecule,” Singh said.</p><p>Researchers said that the findings could inform the development of molecular-scale switches and current-modulating components. However, Singh cautioned, “The study is a proof-of-principle demonstration, not a technology ready for practical use. The experiments were conducted at 4.2 kelvin, about minus 269 degrees Celsius. More research is needed to establish reliable operation under practical conditions.”</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
