However, Balaji Murugadoss dismissed the claim of the cops, saying, "CCTV footage is going to scream “shame on you” in court".

For the unaware, on Monday, the actor had put out a video on social media that showed officials of the Narcotics Department arriving at his home and searching the place, even as he made it clear to them that he was clean. He demanded to know on what basis they had come to search his residence.

Taking to his X timeline to post a video of the conversation that happened between him and the men claiming to be officials from the Narcotics Department, Balaji Murugadoss had said, "15 police from Narcotics came to my house last night!"

He then put out another tweet in which he said, "I just want to know who gave the complaint @actorvijay. I want to know who gave the complaint and for what! I asked them a number of times they didn’t disclose. I’m up for blood test. But shame on your police department!"

He went on to add, "Fifteen police came to my house, all they found is three cats and one dog ! But I wanna know on what basis they came! There’s no search warrant since I’m clean I invited them home. But I need an explanation for this act of police."

Responding to this post by Balaji Murugadoss, the Avadi Police Commissionerate tweeted, "With regard to the above social media post, it is clarified that based on the input regarding drugs, a search was conducted in the premise at Prestige Windsor Park apartment, Thiruverkadu after making due procedural entries as prescribed by statute. It is further clarified that a team of one Inspector and 3 police personnel was involved in in the search search operation. During search operations, the occupants of the premise were treated courteously. Hence it is hereby reiterated that the entire search was conducted following due legal procedure."

Balaji Murugadoss responded to this tweet of the police on Tuesday with a tweet of his own. Quoting the police tweet, he wrote, "I’m really shocked! Not for their blatant lie, but for the way they tagged all the media. @avadipolice CCTV footage is going to scream “shame on you” in court."

On the work front, Balaji Murugadoss was last seen in director J Sathish Kumar's film 'Fire', in which he played the antagonist.

According to official data, 406.26 MT of cracker waste was collected across all 15 zones between November 7 and 9. Collection surged on Monday, with 256.34 MT gathered that day, compared with 145.87 MT on Sunday and 4.05 MT on November 7.

Valasaravakkam recorded the highest waste generation at 69.94 MT, followed by Teynampet with 41.31 MT, Tiruvottiyur with 39.79 MT and Kodambakkam with 38.28 MT. Ambattur recorded the lowest collection at 6.67 MT.

Commissioner GS Sameeran inspected the collection work at a vehicle yard in Ward 125 of Teynampet Zone. He said, “Around 200 tonnes had been collected by Monday morning. The collected waste is being segregated into two categories, burnt and unburnt, and disposed of through appropriate scientific methods.”

Burnt firecrackers, wrapping paper, cardboard boxes and other combustible materials free from chemical residues are being collected separately and transported to the 50 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) incinerator facility at Kodungaiyur (KDG), where they are scientifically processed and disposed of. Unburnt and half-burnt crackers, which contain chemicals such as sulphur and gunpowder, are treated as hazardous waste and sent to a facility at Gummidipoondi.

“Around 19,275 sanitation workers from the morning shift have been engaged, along with 600 additional personnel. The Corporation has also deployed 350 tipper lorries, earthmovers and Bobcat machines, and about 5,000 regular vehicles. Rain has made removal harder because the waste has stuck to the roads,” he added.

The Commissioner noted that the air quality worsened on Sunday night, with pollution peaking at around 10 pm. “Overnight rain helped wash out pollutants. The average AQI fell to about 230 in the morning, moving towards normal levels later in the day,” he stated.

Electricity supply remains suspended for a few hours in affected areas and is restored once the maintenance process is completed. Stay with DT Next for updates on affected localities and timings related to scheduled power shutdowns across Chennai.

Chennai: Three arrested for killing man over argument on bursting crackers

A 34-year-old man was hacked to death by a gang after a quarrel over bursting crackers near his house in Tiruvottiyur on Monday night. Police arrested three suspects on Tuesday and launched a search for others involved in the murder.

The deceased was identified as Pavithran, a resident of Vanniyar Street. Police said that he suffered multiple injuries and died on the spot.

The arrested persons were identified as Surya (27), Kishore (29), and Hari alias Anandan (27), all residents of the same street. Their friend Madhan was injured while trying to stop the attack, police said.

The Chief Minister also sanctioned Rs 500 crore to build the necessary electrical and mechanical infrastructure at bus depots across the city, an official release said on Monday.

MTC currently operates 755 electric buses in Chennai, 355 of which are air-conditioned.

As part of the State’s ongoing efforts to modernise public transport fleets and reduce emissions, the State will procure 1,000 new AC e-buses under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model during the current financial year.

The allotted Rs 500 crore will be used to set up charging stations and mechanical support facilities at bus depots.

This initiative aims to upgrade Chennai’s public transit network, curb environmental pollution, and offer passengers a safer, more comfortable commute.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Tuesday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

Petrol rates (per litre) in Chennai across last 5 days:

A man contacted Keerthivasan (34) of Nungambakkam on his mobile phone on April 23, claiming that a premium credit card with many benefits would be issued to him based on his credit score. The caller sent a link through WhatsApp and asked him to enter his bank account and other details.

The next day, he sent a mobile phone to Keerthivasan and asked him to insert his SIM card in it for 2-step verification. Soon after Keerthivasan inserted his SIM in the new phone, Rs 10 lakh was taken from his bank account and Rs 7.6 lakh was transacted online through his credit card.

Keerthivasan lodged a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and later at the Chennai East Zone Cyber Crime police station. A case was registered and investigation was taken up.

A police team led by the inspector of the East Zone Cyber Crime police station traced the accused to West Bengal using bank account details and with the help of local police, the team arrested Abul Hossain Sheikh (26) of Murshidabad, West Bengal on November 6.

He was produced before the Murshidabad Court and brought to Chennai after due legal process. After inquiry, the accused was produced before a magistrate here and remanded in judicial custody.

Locals allege that both northern Chennai neighbourhoods face persistent neglect from the Greater Chennai Corporation, TNPDCL, and other line departments. Despite clear instructions issued during recent monsoon preparedness meetings led by top state officials to elevate damaged distribution boxes, no action has been taken on the ground.

S Kathirvel, president of the Ernavoor Mahalakshmi Nagar Residents Welfare Association, stated that a formal petition was submitted to TNPDCL two months ago, but officials have failed to act. He emphasised that the rusted pillar box near Selva Vinayagar temple  poses a hazard to children, families, and passersby who are forced to cross the dangerous spot daily. We tied it with a rope to prevent it from falling, he said.

Echoing these concerns, Eraneeshwarar Nagar residents highlighted that a rusted distribution box on Eraneeshwarar Nagar Main Road recently caused a fatal accident when a dog stepped on an exposed, damaged cable three weeks ago. Fearing potential human casualties during the monsoon, residents demanded immediate intervention.

Responding to the issue, a TNPDCL official confirmed that the damaged distribution box near Selvi Vinayagar Temple in Mahalakshmi Nagar has been identified and will be raised on a concrete pedestal shortly. However, the official also claimed that certain residents had taken illegal power connections without a meter to supply electricity to the temple.

The severity of the pollution was also compared to the impact of smoking around 40-55 cigarettes a day, raising concerns over the health risks faced by residents, particularly children, senior citizens and people with respiratory ailments.

Deepavali celebrations in Chennai began on a relatively subdued note on Sunday morning, as rainfall in several parts of the city disrupted the usual early morning tradition of bursting crackers. The showers appeared to provide temporary relief by settling suspended dust particles and reducing the immediate impact of smoke in the atmosphere. However, the weather conditions did little to discourage residents from continuing their celebrations later in the day.

As the evening progressed, even intermittent spells of rain in some areas failed to prevent people from bursting crackers, with celebrations continuing well into the night. The continuous release of smoke and pollutants eventually resulted in a sharp deterioration in air quality, with the reported peak of AQI of more than 1,200 (higher than the peak of around 786 last year).

The comparison with cigarette consumption further underlines the potential health impact of the pollution spike.

According to the data released by the TN Pollution Control Board, average AQI score on Deepavali was 343 in Chennai. Valasaravakkam recorded the highest ever in TN. Apart from KTCC (Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Chennai, and Chengalpattu) regions, the AQI score was 233 in the Rayapuram area in Tirupur.

Meanwhile, TNPCB data on November 9 showed that several parts of Chennai continued to record poor air quality. Manali registered an AQI of 277, followed by Arumbakkam at 264, Kodungaiyur 220, and Velachery 202. These readings indicate that pollution remained a concern across multiple neighbourhoods even after the major celebrations.

Firecrackers release substantial quantities of particulate matter, particularly PM2.5 and PM10, along with various gaseous pollutants. Fine particulate matter is a major concern because of its ability to penetrate deep into the respiratory system. PM2.5 particles can reach the lower portions of the lungs and may even enter the bloodstream, while PM10 particles can affect the respiratory tract.

Motorists, particularly two-wheeler riders, lamented the risk of accidents at many portions of Paper Mills Road such as near Sembium, Venus and Peravallur bus stops and Krishna Store. MTC buses, cars and two-wheelers use this stretch regularly, with traffic remaining heavy during morning and evening peak hours. 

Speaking to DT Next, Praveen, a resident of Perambur, said, “The tar surface has come off after the rains in the past few weeks making the potholes bigger. Dust raised by passing vehicles also affects pedestrians walking along the roadside. The Corporation should take immediate steps to re-lay the damaged portions of the road.” 

Another resident, Kannan, pointed out that motorists were forced to slow down and manoeuvre their vehicles to avoid potholes, resulting in traffic congestion during morning and evening hours. “The underbody of two-wheelers also gets scraped against the road while negotiating the potholes. In poorly lit stretches, motorists cannot spot the potholes at night. This increases the risk of accidents,” he added.

A senior Corporation official told this reporter that temporary repair works were being carried out on the damaged stretches of Paper Mills Road. “Potholes are being filled to improve road conditions and ensure smoother movement of vehicles,” he added.

As per the order of the Supreme Court and the guidelines issued by the Tamil Nadu government, bursting of firecrackers in Chennai was permitted for only two hours on Deepavali, from 6 am to 7 am and from 7 pm to 8 pm.

On the instructions of Chennai City Police Commissioner A Amalraj, inspectors and personnel of all police stations were engaged in continuous monitoring within their station limits, an official release stated.

Following intensive monitoring by the police teams, cases were registered for bursting firecrackers beyond the time permitted by the Supreme Court, for selling firecrackers without licence, and for bursting crackers with excessive noise.

Officials said 148 cases were registered for bursting crackers beyond the permitted time, 10 cases for selling crackers without licence, and 79 cases for bursting crackers with excessive noise. A total of 237 cases have been registered and action has been taken.

Earlier, the city police had asked residents to strictly follow the guidelines on timing restriction, and had warned of strict action if anyone was found flouting it.

Raja (34), a crime branch constable attached to the St Thomas Mount police station, was on night patrol on Deepavali when he spotted three men sitting in a dark area at Ambedkar Nagar in Nazarethpuram around 11.30 pm.

Growing suspicious, Raja asked them why they were sitting there late at night and advised them to return home. However, the trio, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, picked an argument with him, claiming that it was their locality and they could sit wherever they wanted for as long as they wished.

When Raja identified himself as a policeman, the three men allegedly pushed him off his two-wheeler and assaulted him.

Raja alerted his senior officers, following which additional personnel rushed to the spot. However, the suspects had escaped by then.

The police have identified one of the suspects as Satheesh, a resident of the same locality. The other two are reportedly his friends. A search is under way to trace all three.

The bodies have been handed over to their families, bringing an end to days of uncertainty for the bereaved relatives.

Earlier, seven bodies had been recovered, including five that were brought to Kasimedu and handed over to their families on November 6. The continuous arrival of bodies had plunged the fishing hamlet into grief, with relatives and fellow fishermen gathering to pay their last respects.

As of Friday, seven of the nine fishermen were found dead. The whereabouts of the remaining two, Rajesh (52) of Tiruchinankuppam and Narayanan (57) of Samiyarpettai in Cuddalore district, remained unknown.

After six days of search operations following the disappearance of the fishing crew during Cyclone Murasu, the remaining two fishermen were finally found dead along the Andhra Pradesh coast on Sunday.

The body of Narayanan was handed over to his family in Samiyarpettai, Cuddalore district, while Rajesh's body was handed over to his family in Nammalwarpet, Purasaiwalkam, Chennai.

The temporary cables were laid to supply electricity to the houses following a power disruption two weeks ago. However, their continued presence outside the houses has made it difficult for residents to take their vehicles out and clean their entrances.

A resident, Metila, said, “When the temporary cables were laid, officials said that the power issue would be rectified soon and that these would be removed. However, no work has been carried out so far. Every morning, we have to drive over the cables to take our vehicles out of the house. We also face difficulty while cleaning the entrance. Since the cables are lying right outside the houses, we are also worried about children playing outside.”

Concurring with her was Aruljothi, a student of social work, who added: “Providing a temporary cable connection during the power disruption was helpful but it’s a serious issue that the cables have not been removed for the past two weeks. Kids pass through this street in the mornings and evenings. They also visit the nearby park. This could lead to unexpected accidents.”

Admitting to the problem, a senior TNPDCL official said, “The fault in the cable will be rectified soon. After that, the exposed electrical cables will be removed. Until then, the cables have been laid temporarily.

A blockage had developed over a month ago by mud accumulation in the motor pipeline. This disrupted the water supply to the toilet.

For a few days, people managed to use the toilet by fetching water from a nearby tap. Later, the toilet was completely closed to carry out repair work on the motor.

The construction debris from the work at Meenakshi College Metro station had been dumped near the public toilet. People said that the debris was blocking access to the area where the motor and water pipeline were located, making it difficult to carry out the repair work and delaying the restoration of the facility.

Mani, a resident of the area, said, “Auto drivers who drop off and pick up school students use it. Similarly, people visiting the nearby library and senior citizens living in the area used the facility. Now that the toilet has been closed, everyone is facing difficulties. Some people also urinate behind the toilet at night, causing a foul smell. The toilet should be repaired and reopened at the earliest.”

Concurring with him was another resident, Manohar, who piped in that workers had come to repair the toilet over 2 weeks back. “However, since the Metro construction debris had been piled up near the toilet, they couldn’t identify the damaged pipeline leading to the motor and its connection point. As a result, only the debris on the outer portion was removed. No repair work has been carried out since then.”

A Corporation official explained that mud accumulation in the pipeline connecting the motor resulted in the disruption of water supply to the toilet. “Since construction debris from the nearby Metro Rail station work has piled up, it has caused obstruction to the repair works. CMRL officials have been informed to remove the debris. After the debris has been removed, the repair works will be carried out," he clarified.

In a joint statement issued on Monday, the signatories alleged that Akal Vilakku and Phoenix Publication, which operate from the same address, had compiled material available online across various subjects and published them under fictitious authors' names, with several errors. They also alleged that the prices of these books were several times higher than those of comparable publications.

The issue came to light following social media posts by writer Balasubramanian Ponraj on October 17 and artist Sundaran Murugesan on October 24, followed by an article by writer Perumal Murugan published in an online magazine on November 6.

The signatories, including former Madras high court judge D Hari Paranthaman, researchers S V Rajadurai and R Balakrishnan, former vice-chancellor L Jawahar Nesan and Prof V Arasu, said the alleged fraud had not only caused financial loss to the government but also deprived genuine writers and researchers of space in public libraries.

Questioning how such publications cleared multiple levels of scrutiny, the signatories pointed out that the government had introduced the Transparent Book Procurement Policy in 2024 to ensure accountability in the purchase of books and e-books. A government order issued on Nov 5, 2025, extended the procurement mechanism to Periyar Arivulagam and central libraries in six newly created districts.

Under the system, a 137-member expert panel recommends books, a 13-member selection committee finalises the list, a five-member committee negotiates prices with publishers, and another five-member committee scrutinises the recommendations before approval.

The signatories demanded that the government disclose the details of those who recommended and selected the allegedly fake books and authorised payments, besides initiating legal action against officials and publishers found responsible. They also sought recovery of the money paid to the publishers, seizure of the books and their removal from all libraries.

They called for a time-bound audit of all libraries in Tamil Nadu by independent expert committees and amendments to strengthen the 2024 procurement policy. They also wanted the final list of purchased books to be shared with members of the recommendation panel to verify whether only titles recommended by them had been procured.

The deceased, Avanthika, was the third daughter of Venkateswarulu, 43, who had been living with his wife and three daughters in a tent near the railway gate at Thailavaram, close to Guduvanchery. The family, natives of Andhra Pradesh, earned their livelihood through a performing boom boom ox fortune telling.

On Saturday evening, Avanthika was playing on a folding cot inside the tent when it suddenly collapsed. The child fell into a vessel containing boiling water that had been kept below after draining cooked rice. The hot water spilled over her body, causing severe burn injuries.

The family rushed her to the Chengalpattu Government Medical College Hospital in a 108 ambulance. She was admitted to the intensive care unit, but succumbed to her injuries on Monday morning.

Guduvanchery police have registered a case and are investigating the incident.

According to a Daily Thanthi report, Silambarasan, a resident of Vyasarpadi, had reportedly been having a dispute with Surya, a resident of the same locality, for the past few days. In connection with the enmity, a five-member gang, including Surya and his father, arrived in the area on Sunday night, armed with deadly weapons, in search of Silambarasan.

Elder brother escapes, younger brother killed

When the gang attempted to attack Silambarasan with the intention of killing him, he managed to escape from the spot. Enraged by this, the gang members allegedly attacked his 18-year-old younger brother, Dhanush, who was present there, hacking him repeatedly. He suffered grievous injuries and died on the spot.

Police launch hunt for suspects

On information, Vyasarpadi police rushed to the spot, recovered Dhanush's body and sent it to a government hospital for post-mortem examination.

The police registered a case and launched a search for all five suspects, including Surya and his father, who fled the scene.

The murder, which took place on Deepavali night, has triggered shock and grief among residents of the locality.

To speed up the cleanup operation, the civic body has deployed an additional 600 sanitation workers and 350 vehicles across various zones, the Greater Chennai Corporation said in a release here on Monday.

The Corporation has distributed 30,000 specialised bags, each with a capacity of 50 kg, to sanitation workers for the separate collection of firecracker waste.

The collected firecracker waste will be taken to a dedicated processing facility in Gummidipoondi for safe disposal using scientific methods. However, rainfall has hampered the cleanup operation, as the wet firecracker residue has stuck to road surfaces, making it difficult for sanitation workers to remove.

The GCC said public response to its earlier appeals to segregate firecracker waste and keep it in separate bags had been lower than anticipated.

It has urged residents to keep firecracker waste separate from regular household garbage and hand it over directly to conservancy workers during collection instead of dumping it on roads or in public spaces.

The Corporation stressed that public cooperation was essential to maintaining a clean and hygienic city.

The reported pollution level was nearly twice the peak recorded during previous Deepavali celebrations, highlighting the growing environmental impact of firecracker emissions. The severity of the pollution was also compared to the impact of smoking around 40 to 55 cigarettes a day, raising concerns over the health risks faced by residents, particularly children, senior citizens and people with respiratory ailments.

Deepavali celebrations in Chennai began on a relatively subdued note on Sunday morning, as rainfall in several parts of the city disrupted the usual early morning tradition of bursting crackers. The showers appeared to provide temporary relief by settling suspended dust particles and reducing the immediate impact of smoke in the atmosphere. However, the weather conditions did little to discourage residents from continuing their celebrations later in the day.

As the evening progressed, firecracker bursting picked up across residential neighbourhoods and other parts of the city. Even intermittent spells of rain in some areas failed to prevent people from bursting crackers, with celebrations continuing well into the night. The continuous release of smoke and pollutants eventually resulted in a sharp deterioration in air quality, with the reported pollution levels reaching their peak around 10 pm.

The reported peak of AQI score more than 1,200 was considerably higher than the peak of around 786 recorded during previous Deepavali celebrations on the monitoring scale being compared. 

The comparison with cigarette consumption further underlines the potential health impact of the pollution spike. The reported exposure equivalence of around 40 to 55 cigarettes a day indicates the severity of particulate pollution during the celebrations. 

Meanwhile, air quality monitoring data from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) at November 9, the day after Deepavali, showed that several parts of Chennai continued to record poor air quality. Manali registered an AQI of 277, followed by Arumbakkam at 264. Kodungaiyur recorded 220, while Velachery registered 202. These readings indicate that pollution remained a concern across multiple neighbourhoods even after the major celebrations.

Firecrackers release substantial quantities of particulate matter, particularly PM2.5 and PM10, along with various gaseous pollutants. Fine particulate matter is a major concern because of its ability to penetrate deep into the respiratory system. PM2.5 particles can reach the lower portions of the lungs and may even enter the bloodstream, while PM10 particles can affect the respiratory tract.

Exposure to elevated concentrations of these pollutants can trigger coughing, breathing difficulties, throat irritation and eye irritation. It can also aggravate existing conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses. Children, senior citizens and people with cardiovascular and respiratory conditions are particularly vulnerable to short term exposure to heavily polluted air.

The yellow metal is now priced at Rs 1,06,040 per sovereign and Rs 13,255 per gram, after an increase of Rs 95 per gram.

Earlier, on November 7, the yellow metal was priced at Rs 1,05,280 per sovereign and Rs 13,160 per gram.

Silver prices remain unchanged

Meanwhile, silver prices also remain stable at Rs 205 per gram (Rs 2,05,000 per kg) on November 9.

On November 7, silver was also priced at Rs 205 per gram.

Gold price (22-carat) over the last five days:

The disruption occurred as a thick blanket of firecracker smoke engulfed the runway area, reducing visibility and prompting air traffic control officials to closely monitor aircraft movements.

According to airport sources, 11 flights arriving from Kolkata, Delhi, Pune, Sri Lanka, Bangkok, Thiruvananthapuram, Singapore, Raipur, Siliguri, Tiruchy and Kuala Lumpur had to circle in the air for some time before landing. However, the IndiGo flight from Raipur, which continued to hover over Chennai, eventually returned to Bengaluru.

Similarly, 15 departing flights to destinations including Kolkata, Thiruvananthapuram, Delhi, Pune, Tiruchy, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi were delayed.

The Airports Authority of India had anticipated possible visibility issues due to firecracker smoke and made additional arrangements at the airport's air traffic control room. Officials monitored runway visibility closely and allowed aircraft to land or take off only when the runway was clearly visible.

Although rain in Chennai during the Sunday morning restricted firecracker celebrations, residents began bursting crackers in large numbers from around 6 pm, even before the government-permitted time of 7 pm. Firecracker use continued beyond 10 pm, resulting in a sharp deterioration in air quality across the city and its suburbs.

Residential areas around Meenambakkam airport also witnessed extensive firecracker use, contributing to the smoke that engulfed the runway.

The disruption was more severe than last year. During Diwali in 2025, smoke affected 15 flights, with seven arrivals and eight departures delayed. However, no flight had to return to another airport that year.

This year, apart from the increase in the number of affected flights, the diversion of the Raipur-Chennai IndiGo flight to Bengaluru added to the inconvenience faced by passengers.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Monday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

Deepavali is celebrated with great enthusiasm across Tamil Nadu, with people bursting firecrackers and exchanging sweets. In Chennai, residents began bursting crackers in several neighbourhoods on Wednesday, continuing the celebrations from early Thursday morning.

Royapuram records highest AQI of 238 in Chennai

Despite rainfall, people burst firecrackers during breaks in the showers, particularly in the evening between 7 pm and 8 pm.

The celebrations have contributed to a rise in air pollution across the city. Royapuram recorded the highest AQI of 238, followed by Perungudi at 175, Manali at 168, Kodungaiyur at 166 and Arumbakkam at 165.

The city's average AQI has also increased significantly compared to the corresponding period last year. It stood at 56 on November 6 and 74 on November 7 last year, while this year it has reached 159.

The deteriorating air quality has caused concern, with residents facing discomfort due to increased pollution.

Under the direction of Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner G S Sameeran, the Solid Waste Management Department has launched a citywide drive to clear public spaces, roads and stormwater drains of firecracker debris, Corporation sources said on Sunday.

As part of the initiative, the civic body has deployed 600 personnel and 350 vehicles and distributed 30,000 designated collection bags, each with a capacity of 50 kg, to conservancy workers.

Residents and administrators of residential complexes, classified as bulk waste generators, have been urged to segregate firecracker waste from regular household garbage, including biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, and hand it over separately to conservancy workers

The Corporation has also intensified cleaning operations, deploying mechanical sweepers and overnight road-cleaning teams during the festival period.

Awareness campaigns are being conducted through battery-operated vehicles across neighbourhoods, along with outreach programmes in schools, colleges and public spaces.

The civic body has issued safety guidelines, urging people to use only approved green crackers to minimise noise and air pollution.

The Solid Waste Management Department has taken necessary steps, said GCC commissioner GS Sameeran, urging the public to collect firecracker waste from their homes and residential areas separately and hand it over to GCC conservancy workers visiting their localities.

The civic body has distributed 30,000 specially designated bags, each with a 50 kg capacity, to cleanliness workers, who will use them to collect the waste from the public. The civic body has deployed 600 personnel and 350 vehicles for the exercise.

The residential complexes classified as bulk waste generators (BWGs) have been asked to collect all such waste within their premises at a designated spot, without mixing it with other waste, and hand it over to cleanliness workers.

Bhuvaneswari, a 24-year-old MBA graduate from Chitlapakkam near Tambaram, has been working at a private finance company in Tambaram for the past month. The incident happened on Thursday evening, when she was returning from work by bus and got down at Sanatorium.

As she was walking towards Chitlapakkam through the Sanatorium foot overbridge, she noticed several elderly, destitute people sitting there. Taking pity over their condition, she distributed laddus that she had bought.

At that moment, an unidentified man approached her, attacked her with pepper spray on her face and attempted to snatch the gold chain she was wearing. Despite being shocked by the attack, Bhuvaneswari raised an alarm. Hearing her cries, the public rushed to her rescue, caught the man, and thrashed him before handing him over to the Tambaram police.

During interrogation, the police identified the accused as Kuppusamy (46), a resident of Pammal near Pallavaram, who was working as a project manager at a private IT firm on Old Mahabalipuram Road. During their investigations, the police found that Kuppusamy had lost a large amount of money in online trading and was struggling with mounting debts.

To clear his liabilities, he had even sold his house in Pammal, worth around Rs 60 lakh. However, he was unable to settle his debt fully.

Unable to meet his financial commitments, he decided to commit chain-snatching in an attempt to raise money to repay his loans. The Tambaram police arrested Kuppusamy and are continuing their investigation.

After the boat was caught in Cyclone Murasu, seven of them died, while search is under way for the remaining two.

In its statement clarifying the sequence of events, the Coast Guard (ICG) said the boat, Sri Sengalamman, left Kasimedu on October 29. After receiving warnings that Cyclone Murasu would make landfall between Nellore and Narsapur on the night of November 2 and 3, it took shelter at Nizampatnam in Andhra Pradesh.

Despite weather warnings, the men left with the trawler from Nizampatnam on November 2 night, as Cyclone Murasu crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast. ICG said the crew may have mistaken a temporary lull in winds for the storm having passed.

Around noon on November 3, the Coast Guard received the first report the trawler getting caught in the fury of the storm. Within a couple of hours, a search aircraft from Chennai was airborne, while a ship stationed at Krishnapatnam was deployed the same day. Coordinated aerial and maritime searches were conducted on November 3, 4, and 5, it said.

During the search, they found a submerged green-hulled boat, apparently Sri Sengalamman, off the Andhra coast around 9.35 am on November 5. Of the nine fishermen, seven bodies have been recovered, while the search for two was continuing, it added.

Earlier, relatives of the fishermen had told DT Next that the crew contacted nearby fishing vessels and the boat owner after the vessel stalled due to strong winds and heavy rain that stopped its engine. The families accused the boat owner and the Coast Guard of failing to ensure the fishermen's safety, arguing that timely intervention could have saved them.

The police identified the deceased as Prathap (24) and his friend, both from Katpadi in Vellore, who were working in a private firm in Chennai. On Saturday early morning, they were travelling to their hometown in Vellore to celebrate Deepavali with their families.

Officials said they were riding the bike at a high speed on the flyover near Sunguvarchathram when heavy rain was lashing the area. The rider lost control of the vehicle, causing it to skid and crash into the parapet of the flyover.

On impact, both of them suffered severe head injuries, as they were not wearing helmets. The onlookers alerted the ambulance and police. The ambulance personnel rushed to the spot, rescued the injured youths, and shifted them to a nearby hospital. However, doctors there declared both of them dead on arrival.

On information, the Sunguvarchathram police visited the spot and held inquiries. The bodies were sent to the Kancheepuram Government Hospital for post-mortem examination. Further investigations are under way.

After the video clip of the lawyer went viral on social media on December 20, 2021, a division bench took suo motu cognisance of the incident and directed the CB-CID to register an FIR. Accordingly, a case was registered under Sections 228, 292 (2) (a) and 294 (a) of the IPC, and Section 67A of the IT Act.

According to the final report filed by the police, the lawyer had sexually exploited the woman, who worked as his office assistant and domestic help, on several occasions. He had allegedly taken advantage of her family's financial difficulties by offering her money, new clothes, and food, said the police.

The lawyer, RD Santhanakrishnan, filed a plea seeking to quash the pending criminal case. During the hearing, his counsel, C Paul Kanagaraj, contended that even if the final report and supporting materials were accepted in full, no offence was made out against him.

He argued that the incident had taken place inside a closed room in his advocate's office and not in a public place. He also submitted that the lawyer had no intention of insulting or interrupting judicial proceedings.

After hearing the plea, Justice M Nirmal Kumar noted that virtual hearings were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic due to restrictions on physical court proceedings and limited access to courts. It was undisputed that the petitioner was accidentally shown on the virtual platform while logging into the hearing.

Therefore, he had unknowingly disrupted the proceedings, and a private act was streamed due to a lack of technological knowledge, particularly when virtual hearings and the use of electronic devices were still at an early stage.

Noting that Section 228 IPC punishes intentional insult or interruption of a public servant, the court said there was no material to show that the lawyer intended to disrupt the proceedings or knew that his conduct would be displayed during the virtual hearing.

Regarding Section 294 (a) IPC, the court observed that the provision applies to obscene acts in public places. The lawyer had not knowingly switched on the camera, and no participant had complained of annoyance caused by the incident. The court also recalled that the division bench had earlier observed that the lawyer's act, by itself, did not constitute an offence.

On the sexual harassment charges, the court found no evidence of unwelcome physical contact, sexual overtures, demands, or remarks by the lawyer. It also found no material to establish offences under the IT Act or the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act.

Considering the available materials, the court quashed the criminal proceedings pending against him.

For chef Goku, one such festive favourite is Munthiri Kothu, a traditional sweet from the Kanniyakumari and Nanjil Nadu regions. Interestingly, it is not a recipe he claims as a family heirloom. His maternal grandmother and father travelled extensively across Tamil Nadu for work, and during these travels, his grandmother picked up the recipe. She would make it during Deepavali, and the tradition has since continued through his mother, who prepares it today. The sweet remains one of his personal favourites.

Made with roasted whole green gram, grated coconut, jaggery and sesame seeds, Munthiri Kothu has a distinctive preparation. The ingredients are combined to make a sweet filling, shaped into small balls, dipped in a thick rice batter and deep-fried until crisp and golden. The result is a traditional festive sweet that carries with it a story of how culinary practices travel across regions and find a place in family kitchens.

For Goku, the gradual disappearance of such preparations reflects a larger change in our relationship with food. Earlier, food was closely connected to seasons, agriculture, communities and family traditions, with recipes passed down orally from one generation to another. Today, smaller families, busy schedules and the convenience of commercially available sweets and savouries have changed the way people prepare for festivals.

"Many recipes were never documented. They existed in the hands and memories of home cooks. When that generation stops cooking, we risk losing not just the recipe but also the techniques, proportions and stories behind it," he says.

He also points out how regional variations are gradually being replaced by a smaller selection of popular festive foods. Traditional rice varieties, millets, indigenous pulses, native oils and regional sweeteners, which once formed an integral part of local cooking, are also becoming less accessible in everyday kitchens.

For him, preserving these preparations requires more than simply writing down the ingredients. It involves travelling to villages, spending time with older home cooks and documenting recipes in their original context. The techniques behind fermentation, roasting, grinding, cooking temperatures, seasonal variations and traditional equipment are equally important. A preparation from Nanjil Nadu, for instance, could be considerably different from its counterpart in Chettinad or Kongu Nadu, and these distinctions deserve recognition.

He believes chefs, researchers and food storytellers have a responsibility to bring these preparations back into conversations, restaurants and contemporary kitchens through pop-ups, tasting menus, food festivals and workshops. More importantly, preserving a recipe also means preserving the farmers, ingredients and ecosystems that make it possible. Younger generations, he feels, should see traditional food as something exciting rather than something they are expected to eat simply because it is part of their heritage. The objective should be to keep these recipes alive in people's kitchens rather than preserve them only in books.

Another traditional savoury preparation he shares is Nada Murukku, made using equal quantities of rice flour and besan, seasoned with fennel seeds and salt. Hot oil is incorporated into the flour mixture before water is added to make a soft, pliable dough. The dough is passed through a murukku press fitted with a ribbon-style disc and deep-fried until crisp and golden.

Meanwhile, Indra Narayan, popularly known as the Millet Queen, approaches festive food traditions from a different perspective. For her, the connection with traditional festive food is rooted in family memories. Rava ladoo and murukku were regular Deepavali preparations in her household, made first by her grandmother and later by her mother. She recalls celebrating the festival with her siblings, memories that remain special to her even today.

Her relationship with millets began in 2012, when she switched to them for health reasons. What started as a personal dietary change gradually developed into an interest in exploring their taste and texture.

"I used to make it with rice first. Now, I have started trying this immediately. The current generation does not make it at all," she says, referring to traditional festive preparations. She feels that people are increasingly buying ready-made murukku instead of making it at home. While she believes there is room to enjoy sweets occasionally, she encourages people to prepare them at home and explore alternative ingredients.

One of her festive creations is a little millet rava ladoo, which gives the familiar sweet a millet-based twist. The preparation involves soaking little millet for five hours, drying and roasting it before grinding it into a powder. Roasted peanut powder, jaggery and cardamom are added, followed by chopped roasted cashews. Warm ghee is gradually incorporated before the mixture is shaped into ladoos. She also suggests that the preparation can be attempted with other millet varieties.

Her other offering is little millet poha murukku. Millet poha is powdered and sieved before being combined with besan, little millet flour, cumin seeds, carom seeds, chilli powder and salt. Hot oil and water are added to make a soft dough, which is shaped using a murukku press and deep-fried until crisp. Both preparations are simple enough for home cooks, including beginners, to attempt.

For Indra, the idea is to make traditional recipes relevant to the current generation without completely moving away from familiar festive flavours.

On the question of making traditional festive food healthier, Goku believes that flavour should remain central. Tamil cuisine has always made use of seasonal ingredients, native grains, pulses, coconut, sesame, palm jaggery and locally available produce. These ingredients offer opportunities to revisit traditional preparations, but he cautions against replacing every ingredient with millets simply because they are considered healthier. Understanding the character of each ingredient and using it where it makes culinary sense, he says, is more important than making substitutions for the sake of it.

The police said the teams would monitor key roads to prevent youngsters from organising races or performing dangerous stunts that could endanger other road users.

As many as 18,000 personnel will be on duty during Deepavali and Greater Chennai Police have made elaborate security arrangements to ensure the safety and security of the public, who are expected to congregate in large numbers in commercial hubs like T Nagar and Purasaiwalkam for shopping until Deepavali day.

Commissioner A Amalraj has directed the personnel to focus on crowd control, crime prevention, and traffic regulation among other duties with strengths drawn from all wings of the city police, Armed Reserve, Tamil Nadu Special Police, and Home Guards.

Meanwhile, the police have also coordinated with the Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services Department to ensure safety near shops selling firecrackers.

The Greater Chennai Police also advised the public to follow the Supreme Court's directions and the Tamil Nadu government's guidelines on bursting firecrackers. Residents are permitted to burst crackers between 6 am and 7 am and between 7 pm and 8 pm on Deepavali day.

Deepavali shopping during my childhood would begin almost a month in advance. More than the shopping itself, what I eagerly looked forward to was the rose milk and juices we enjoyed between our shopping trips. Deepavali day would begin as early as 4 am. Gingelly oil, shikkai, sweets, crackers and new clothes would be placed before the pooja room and worshipped. This would be followed by the ritual of boiling gingelly oil. The practice of adding a few extra ingredients, such as garlic and pepper, to the oil became part of our family tradition only in later years.

A proper oil bath using shikkai would follow. The aroma of gingelly oil and shikkai was the fragrance that marked the beginning of my childhood Deepavali mornings. I still follow this ritual religiously!

In the background, Nadaswaram music would play as we took our oil baths. My grandmother would insist on this auspicious Mangala Isai. She would often narrate stories of her childhood, when, on special occasions such as Deepavali, two Nadaswaram musicians would visit their home and perform.

After being drenched in gingelly oil and shikkai and dressed in our new clothes, the next activities would be bursting crackers and indulging in the Deepavali feast.

As the popular saying goes, Ennai chatti vaikkaatha Deepavali kidaiyaathu - there is no Deepavali without placing the oil pan on the stove! Sweets and savouries were a given.

In our Chennai-origin household, where non-vegetarian food was relished, a sumptuous non-vegetarian breakfast was an essential part of the celebration. In our home, it was paya for breakfast, for which my mother would begin preparations the previous day itself.

More often than not, the day following Deepavali would mark the beginning of the Sashti fast and penance. Perhaps that was another reason people indulged in a lavish feast before embarking on the strict observances the following day.

Looking back, Deepavali was not merely about new clothes, crackers or sweets. It was the aroma of gingelly oil and shikkai, the sound of Mangala Isai, my grandmother’s stories, my mother’s preparations and the little joys of childhood that made the festival truly special.

For me, more than the crackers, sweets or new dresses, Deepavali will always be remembered for my grandmother’s stories and the elaborate oil baths she lovingly gave us.

- As told to Merin James

The accused, identified as Dinesh, broke his left arm, allegedly while attempting to escape from the police station.

After receiving information about a man wielding a weapon creating a ruckus at the bus terminus, sub-inspector Senthil Nathan rushed to the spot. When the official tried to pacify and apprehend the man, the accused allegedly tried to attack the sub-inspector with the machete that he was brandishing.

Senthil Kumar used his uniform belt to defend himself, overpowered the man, and took him to the police station for questioning. There, Dinesh allegedly attempted to escape by climbing over a wall. He fell and fractured his left arm, claimed the police.

The Red Hills police registered a case against him for obstructing the government servant from discharging his duty, threatening a policeman in uniform, possessing a weapon and threatening the common public. He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.

According to the transport department, a total of 5,087 buses, comprising 2,191 regular services and 2,896 special buses, were operated from Chennai until midnight on Friday. This was 93.67% of the 5,431 buses planned for the day.
