For the works on display, she has used earthy, warm and cool colours seen in South Indian saris.</p><p>Tarika has been learning art under her mentor Diana Shatish for more than 10 years. “She coaxes me to conceptualise creatively and explore a gamut of media, techniques and movements. She also encourages me to draw inspiration from my life and Indian art,” adds the youngster.</p><p>She also credits the team at Shuttles &amp; Needles with teaching her to weave and paint with thread.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/art-weaving-at-art-cube-gallery-in-chennai">Art and weaving at Art Cube Gallery in Chennai</a></aside><p>For Tarika, weaving is not just another art form. “Weaving involves the mind, hands and legs. It promotes creativity and attention,” she says. She hopes the exhibition will also get people to look at India’s handloom tradition differently.</p><p>“We live in a world of fragmented attention spans. Weaving is an analogue activity that involves the mind and both the limbs. It also makes you feel grounded and enhances attention,” concludes the artist.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Road blockade over quarries hits traffic</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-road-blockade-over-quarries-hits-traffic</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-road-blockade-over-quarries-hits-traffic#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">58e5a3d3-8580-479f-992f-ef05639f8564</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 01:54:09 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T01:54:09.863Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Sriperumbudur,traffic,Department of Geology and Mining,blockade</media:keywords><media:content height="562" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2022-08/f81269d6-b7bc-46e2-b4f9-6995c088acc9/RAIN.jpg" width="1000"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image ]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image ]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/2022-08/f81269d6-b7bc-46e2-b4f9-6995c088acc9/RAIN.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Residents of Maaganyam village near <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/sriperumbudur">Sriperumbudur</a> staged a road blockade on the Sriperumbudur-Tambaram highway, disrupting <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/traffic">traffic</a> for over three hours in protest against stone quarries operating in their locality for more than a decade.</p><p>Located along the highway, the village has seen repeated appeals to the Kancheepuram district administration and the Department of Geology and Mining to regulate the units, with residents alleging severe disruption to their daily lives.</p><p>According to the protesters, rock blasting takes place at the quarries almost every day around 4 pm.

The menu moves between Chinese, Burmese, Thai, Japanese and Malaysian influences, with each dish bringing a different combination of spice, texture and flavour to the table.</p><p>The restaurant, which has been in Porur for nearly a decade, was originally conceived for the neighbourhood’s growing tech corridor. According to CEO and owner Paul Perumal, the idea was to offer food that could work equally well for team meetings and family meals.</p><p>“During that time, there was nothing like what we were bringing to the table. We wanted to bring a unique concept with bold flavours so they can enjoy team</p><p>meetings and also choose to come as a family as well,” he says.</p><p>The new space expands the menu beyond Chinese offerings, bringing in Burmese, Thai, Japanese and Malaysian influences. Paul says the expansion came from observing Chennai’s growing interest in international food. “Everyone’s ate has grown, and we want to bring that to our brand without the hefty price tag of eating at a five-star hotel. Keeping it fresh and authentic is our primary goal.”</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/putting-lesser-known-tamil-food-on-the-table">Tamil Quarter explores lesser-known Tamil food traditions across regions and communities</a></aside><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/o5apdt7q/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-20-at-8.01.48-AM-3.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/oa9bdri6/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-20-at-8.01.47-AM-2.jpeg" /></figure><p>The menu also has plenty for non-vegetarian diners, with options such as chicken dim sum, chilli chicken, Thai chicken curry, chicken ramen and Malaysian-style chicken noodles, alongside seafood preparations.</p><p>Chef Rajkumar, who helms the kitchen, begins to explain as the dishes arrive at the table. We opted for the vegetarian spread during our meal. The meal began with the lemon coriander soup, made with fresh coriander, lemon juice, vegetables and mild seasoning. It has a bright, citrusy freshness, with the coriander adding a pleasant herbal aroma.</p><p>The sweet chilli lotus stem, however, is the standout. Fresh lotus stem is lightly coated and fried until golden and crunchy before being tossed in a sweet, mildly spicy chilli sauce and finished with sesame seeds and fresh garnishes. The crisp lotus stem, sweet-heat balance and spring onions make it particularly moreish. The shoyu vegetable ramen arrives as a big bowl of comfort, with hot noodles in a rich, savoury and mildly salty broth, balanced by assorted vegetables. The edamame miso butter, meanwhile, brings together edamame beans with a rich miso butter sauce, with the miso lending umami and the butter a smooth finish. Then comes the Khau suey, a Burmese favourite with a creamy, mildly spicy and aromatic coconut base. What makes the bowl especially enjoyable is the assortment of accompaniments - crispy fried garlic, onion, coriander, chilli and lemon - allowing the flavours to be adjusted to taste. It is a must-try for those who enjoy a layered bowl with contrasting textures.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/jmxz1iz7/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-20-at-8.01.47-AM-3.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/rzbgtifc/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-20-at-8.01.47-AM-5.jpeg" /></figure><p>The Thai green curry with steamed rice has a hint of sweetness while remaining rich and textured. Another star of the meal is the veggie Thai noodles, packed with vegetables and carrying a well-balanced amount of salt and seasoning. The charcoal Malaysian noodles are a smoky alternative, with flat noodles tossed over high heat with vegetables, aromatic spices and Asian seasoning. If smoky flavours are your thing, this one stands out. Tub Tim Grob is a Thai dessert made with water chestnuts coated in tapioca starch and cooked until soft and translucent, served in sweet coconut milk. Even after a filling meal, its comforting coconut flavour makes room for a few more bites.</p><p>For Paul, the expanded menu is also part of a larger journey. “We have great plans on the horizon for this brand and will soon be taking this global, with talks on the way for the UAE and US,” he says.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Check out petrol and diesel prices in Chennai on September 20, 2026</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/check-out-petrol-and-diesel-prices-in-chennai-on-september-20-2026</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/check-out-petrol-and-diesel-prices-in-chennai-on-september-20-2026#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">c3375e1c-0c0c-4a28-bbbe-3278667c3e83</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 02:37:48 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T02:37:48.411Z</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,petrol price,fuel price in Chennai,Petrola and diesel price in Chennai</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-02/gyfr3ko0/Untitled-design-23.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative image]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Petrol and diesel]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-08-02/gyfr3ko0/Untitled-design-23.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 (September 20) 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.

The roads are riddled with potholes, while vehicles passing through the stretches raise dust, causing inconvenience to residents and motorists.</p> <p>Balraj Second Street, St Thomas Street, Rajeswari Street and Ambedkar Main Road in Santhosh Nagar have residential buildings, hostels and small-scale businesses. Motorists, especially at night, face difficulty as the potholes are not clearly visible.</p><p>A resident, Gunasekaran, said, “Road restoration works were carried out before the elections. Now, the road was dug up again for replacing the underground sewage pipeline. This damaged the surface of the road. Dust pollution has increased and gets worse every time vehicles pass through the road. It’s particularly difficult for anyone using the road at night.”</p><p>Another resident, Anand, said, “It’s very difficult for vehicles to pass through this road. At times, vehicles skid and leads to injured riders. When it rains, water accumulates in the potholes, making it difficult for motorists to see while travelling night.”</p><p>A senior Corporation official told DT Next that underground sewage pipeline replacement works had been completed in Santosh Nagar, Balraj Nagar and surrounding areas.</p><p>“Of the 79 roads in the area, 27 have so far been handed over by the Chennai Metropolitan <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/chennai-metro-water-board">Water</a> Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) to the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/search?q=Greater%20Chennai%20Corporation">Greater Chennai Corporation</a> (GCC) for restoration.

This move raised expectations among residents that the town would receive better roads, improved sanitation, drainage facilities and other civic infrastructure.</p><p>However, residents say that more than a year and a half later, there has been no improvement in several residential areas.</p><p>They also pointed out that <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tax">taxes</a> have increased after the civic upgrade, while several amenities remain inadequate.</p><p>This is particularly noticeable as Sriperumbudur has emerged as an important industrial hub, with several industrial estates and factories located in and around the town.</p><figure><img alt="Road filled with sludge" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/1v1o3nyu/Sriperumbudur-1.jpeg" /><figcaption>Road filled with sludge</figcaption></figure><p>The growing industrial activity has brought more workers, vehicles and commercial activity to the region, increasing pressure on the existing civic infrastructure.</p><p>“Our area is growing rapidly in terms of industrial development and other activities. But when it comes to civic infrastructure, Sriperumbudur still lags behind,” said Sundar, a resident of Sriperumbudur. “There has been no significant development in basic amenities even after the town was upgraded to a municipality.”</p><p>Sriperumbudur is also a historic town known for the Ramanujar temple, and the memorial of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi is located here. The municipality covers 19.39 sq km and has 15 wards, with more than 1 lakh people living in the area.</p><p>“One of the major concerns raised by residents is the shortage of cleanliness workers,” S Abishek, a resident. “Around 180 workers are required for sanitation-related work in the municipality, but there are fewer than 80 now. This shortage has resulted in garbage accumulating at several locations.”</p><p>Poor drainage is another major concern. Several residential streets do not have proper sewage and drainage facilities, resulting in wastewater overflowing onto roads. Residents fumed that stagnant wastewater and foul smells have become a regular problem in some neighbourhoods.</p><p>“Industries are growing rapidly, and the town is developing economically, but residential areas should also receive the same attention. People living here need proper roads, drainage and sanitation facilities,” said Karthiga, a resident.</p><figure><img alt="Damaged roads" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/crcbctaw/Sriperumbudur-3.jpeg" /><figcaption>Damaged roads</figcaption></figure><blockquote>A vegetable, fruit and flower market complex constructed at Sivathangal at a cost of around Rs 3 crore has remained unused for more than a year</blockquote><p>The condition of several roads has also drawn criticism. Residents said that roads damaged during infrastructure works have not been properly restored, leaving potholes and uneven stretches that cause inconvenience to motorists and pedestrians.</p><p>The underground drainage project has added to the concerns. “Several roads dug up for the project have not been properly restored and alleged that the work is progressing slowly,” said a resident.</p><p>The Sriperumbudur bus stand is another facility residents want improved. They claim the bus stand is poorly maintained and does not have adequate space for buses, leading to congestion. Passengers also face inadequate drinking water, toilet and lighting facilities.</p><p>Residents have also pointed out the absence of proper street name boards in several areas. They said that the lack of signboards makes it difficult for visitors, delivery personnel and people from outside the town to locate residential streets.</p><p>“There aren’t enough public parks, recreational spaces or even spaces for children to play and senior citizens and others to walk. The existing parks are also allegedly not maintained properly,” said Ramanathan, a resident. “Even though the population is increasing and the town is expanding, there are very few proper recreational spaces for residents. The municipality should create and maintain more parks.”</p><p>Meanwhile, a vegetable, fruit and flower market complex constructed at Sivathangal at a cost of around Rs 3 crore has remained unused for more than a year. Residents have urged the authorities to open the facility and make it available for public use.</p><aside><cite>S Abishek, a resident</cite>Around 180 workers are required for sanitation-related work in the municipality, but there are fewer than 80 now. This shortage has resulted in garbage accumulating at several locations
</aside><p>Residents said the municipality needs to plan its infrastructure based on the town’s rapid industrial and population growth rather than addressing civic problems only after they become serious.</p><p>“When Sriperumbudur was a town panchayat, we paid lower taxes and still had better facilities. After it was upgraded to a municipality, taxes have increased, but basic amenities have not improved. In some areas, even the facilities that were available earlier are now lacking. The municipality should provide infrastructure according to its new status,” said Elangovan, a resident of Sriperumbudur.</p><p>When contacted, municipal officials said that improvements had already begun as part of the first phase at an estimated cost of around Rs 5 crore. “After completion of the first phase, additional funds will be allocated for further road works. The Sriperumbudur bus stand is expected to undergo comprehensive modernisation soon,” the official added.</p><p>Regarding the shortage of sanitation workers, officials explained that a request had been submitted to the Director of Municipal Administration to increase the workforce and that additional workers were expected to be appointed soon. Priority was being given to the underground drainage and drinking water projects.</p><p>Regarding the market complex, the facility had not yet been opened as traders had shown little interest in taking the shops on lease, delaying its operation.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Green autos, red signal: Drivers hit the brakes</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/green-autos-red-signal-drivers-hit-the-brakes</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/green-autos-red-signal-drivers-hit-the-brakes#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">71010821-a1be-46b6-bbda-c426338750a7</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 01:53:28 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T01:53:28.583Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Arun Prasath</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371183</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Autorickshaw,E vehicles,electric autorickshaw,red signal</media:keywords><media:content height="1108" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/u1n70b3j/IMG7162-1.jpg" width="1969"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Green autos, red signal: Drivers hit the brakes]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Green autos, red signal: Drivers hit the brakes]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/u1n70b3j/IMG7162-1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Green is slowly trickling into Chennai's familiar yellow <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/autorickshaw">autorickshaw</a> fleet. But the colour remains a rare sight on city roads, where over one lakh autos operate.</p><p>Tamil Nadu's <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/e-vehicles">electric</a> autorickshaw market has been expanding, with more than 16,000 e-autos among the 5.52 lakh electric vehicles registered in the State till 2025-26. Yet, for drivers considering a switch, the choice is not simply about saving money on fuel.</p><p>The State's complete motor tax waiver for EVs, extended till December 2027, has removed one financial burden. However, drivers say several major hurdles persist.</p><p>A conventional autorickshaw costs around Rs 3 lakh, while an electric variant ranges between Rs 3.5 lakh and Rs 5 lakh. An e-auto priced around Rs 3.5 lakh reportedly offers a range of 120 km, but drivers say they need a vehicle capable of covering at least 170 km daily for practical work.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/tamil-nadu-auto-fare-hike-public-consultations-across-districts-on-sept-23">Tamil Nadu auto fare hike: Public consultations across districts on Sept 23
</a></aside><p>"Every month, when we discuss the adoption of e-autos, the high cost emerges as the main barrier," said Mohana Sundhari of Veera Pengal Munnetra Sangam, India's first union for women auto drivers. "Even with the State incentive of Rs 1 lakh, women struggle to raise the remaining Rs 2 lakh. The price of an e-auto wipes out the thought of buying one," she added.</p><p>However, drivers acknowledge the running cost advantages. "I have been driving an e-auto for a year now. So far, I have not spent a single rupee on maintenance," said owner-driver Rajkumar.</p><p>A conventional auto driver spends around Rs 500 daily on petrol or CNG while earning Rs 2,000, leaving Rs 1,500 in hand. An electric auto can be fully charged for Rs 100 to Rs 150. "Instead of spending Rs 500 on fuel to earn Rs 2,000, charging an EV once is enough. Saving Rs 300 a day translates to Rs 9,000 a month," Rajkumar explained.</p><p>S Balasubramaniam, coordinator of the All Autorickshaw Trade Union Federation, agrees on the operational savings. However, with conventional autos in use for decades, existing owners selling their vehicles to buy electric ones do not see immediate financial logic.</p><p>Charging infrastructure remains the biggest concern. Recharging an e-auto takes nearly eight hours, and the crisis is compounded by housing arrangements, as many drivers live in rented accommodations where landlords disallow vehicle charging.</p><p>"At the last minute, I dropped the idea of buying one because my house owner refused to allow charging. He already charges Rs 10 per unit," said Kamalesh, an auto driver.</p><p>Union representatives stress that public charging networks are severely lacking. "There are no designated places for charging," said Sundhari. Balasubramaniam added that public charging facilities are absent in key areas where drivers actually need them.</p><p>The repair ecosystem is another concern. Mechanics trained to handle electric autos are scarce. Though breakdown instances are few, complete dependence on authorised service centres threatens high repair costs. "If the government provides a 50% subsidy, many drivers will come forward to switch to EVs," Sundhari noted.</p><p>For Chennai's drivers, the decision extends beyond environmental benefits or lower fuel bills. They require vehicles that deliver sufficient daily mileage, accessible charging options in rented homes, and clear assurances on battery life.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Pre-monsoon push: Rs 150 cr road works on track, claims GCC as unpaid bills pose hurdle</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/pre-monsoon-push-rs-150-cr-road-works-on-track-claims-gcc-as-unpaid-bills-pose-hurdle</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/pre-monsoon-push-rs-150-cr-road-works-on-track-claims-gcc-as-unpaid-bills-pose-hurdle#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">cb4b2bb5-0b57-481e-80a9-654dbe48f67d</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 01:52:36 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T01:52:36.147Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Prithiv Raj Anbu</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371171</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC),Pre-monsoon,Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS)</media:keywords><media:content height="1108" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/60kskrj0/Road-3.jpg" width="1969"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Pre-monsoon push: Rs 150 cr road works on track, claims GCC as unpaid bills pose hurdle]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Pre-monsoon push: Rs 150 cr road works on track, claims GCC as unpaid bills pose hurdle]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-20/60kskrj0/Road-3.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/greater-chennai-corporation-gcc">Greater Chennai Corporation</a> (GCC) plans to lay roads worth Rs 150 crore during the first phase ahead of the northeast monsoon under the Chief Minister's Integrated Urban Transformation Mission (CMIUTM), giving priority to Bus Route Roads (BRR).</p><p>The initiative forms part of a broader Rs 300 crore project announced by the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/search?q=Municipal%20Administration%20and%20Water%20Supply">Municipal Administration and Water Supply</a> (MAWS) department during the recent assembly session, covering a distance of 360 km across the city.</p><p>Speaking to DT Next, GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran said detailed estimates have been prepared for the stretches. "As a first phase, roads worth Rs 150 crore will commence, and priority will be given to BRR roads, which will be taken up before the monsoon or during the dry spell between the northeast <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/pre-monsoon">monsoons</a>. The sanctions are expected by the first week of October," he said.</p><p>According to MAWS officials, the objective is to build durable roads without rushing the laying process, which often results in poor quality. Full-fledged works will resume after the monsoon. "GCC has to use the pre-monsoon period to complete the base work so that tenders can be floated and quality works can begin immediately after the monsoon," an official explained.</p><p>Civic body sources revealed that GCC has submitted a zone-wise list of damaged roads to Tamil Nadu Urban Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (TUFIDCO), where a state quality monitoring team is currently conducting appraisals.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/cm-vijays-urban-mission-to-focus-on-infrastructure-quality-of-life">CM Vijay’s urban mission to focus on infrastructure, quality of life</a></aside><p>Once the appraisal process concludes, tenders will be floated and finalised. Bituminous material prices have been fixed through Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), and around 800 damaged roads are likely to be resurfaced.</p><p>Meanwhile, residents in North Chennai have urged the civic body to expedite the works. TK Shanmugam, president of the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/search?q=Federation%20of%20North%20Chennai%20Residents%E2%80%99%20Welfare%20Association">Federation of North Chennai Residents’ Welfare Association</a> (FNCRWA), pointed out that main and interior roads in Madhavaram and Manali are in worse condition. Highlighting Muthamil Nagar and Kadumbadi Amman Koil Street in Kodungaiyur, he noted that the battered stretches pose risks to two-wheeler riders and will deteriorate further during the monsoon.</p><p>However, financial bottlenecks threaten execution speed. R Rama Rao, president of the GCC Contractors' Association, explained that GCC already owes over Rs 2,500 crore to contractors, forcing many to depend on bank loans to carry out works. "Contractors are hesitant to take up fresh work with GCC due to this uncertainty. Because of pending payments, only a few contractors with strong financial backing can sustain their operations," he pointed out.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Madras High Court dismisses mother’s plea seeking custody of two kids</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/madras-high-court-dismisses-mothers-plea-seeking-custody-of-two-kids</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/madras-high-court-dismisses-mothers-plea-seeking-custody-of-two-kids#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">6c25a682-0482-4674-99d4-25d4ec3a4e2a</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2026 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-20T01:30:00.000Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Maheswari Sriram</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2373199</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Madras High Court,illicit affair,Child Custody,Family Court</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-01-03/p3y14f48/mhc.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Madras High Court (MHC)]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Madras High Court (MHC)]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-01-03/p3y14f48/mhc.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/madras-high-court">Madras High Court </a>has refused to interfere with a Family Court order denying custody of two minor children to their mother, observing that the children's overall welfare is the paramount consideration in custody cases.</p><p>The bench of Justices, PT Asha and N Mala, observed that welfare must be understood in its widest sense, including moral and religious welfare along with physical well-being.</p><p>It noted that the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890, and the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, regard the welfare of a minor as the paramount factor for courts to consider.</p><p>The court was hearing an appeal filed by the mother against the Family Court’s order rejecting her plea seeking custody of her two minor children.</p><p>The mother claimed that she had taken care of her husband and children but was sent out of the matrimonial home following a misunderstanding, while the children continued to remain with the father.</p><p>The father, however, alleged that the mother had illicit relationships and had no regard for the children.</p><p>He claimed that her WhatsApp chats showed that she had sent nude and semi-nude photos to other men and made late-night video calls, and argued that she was unfit to be given custody of the children.</p><p>He, however, said that she was free to meet the children at a common place.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/tamilnadu/wifes-frequent-visits-to-maternal-home-cruelty-madras-high-court">Wife’s frequent visits to maternal home cruelty: Madras High Court</a></aside><p>After hearing the petition, the court found merit in the father’s argument and took note of the pendrive and cellphone produced by him before the Family Court, which contained nude and semi-nude photos of the mother.</p><p>It also noted that the mother had admitted in her evidence that she had conversations with several men.</p><p>“All these allegations point to a person with low moral fibre, whose company would be detrimental to the welfare and well-being of the two minor children who are at an impressionable age,” the court observed.</p><p>Therefore, it held that the Family Court had rightly rejected her custody plea after considering the overall well-being of the children.

<p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A city-based <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/fertility">fertility</a> clinic has conducted its first water birth, marking a milestone in its efforts to offer women informed choices and appropriate medical support during childbirth. </p><p>Medicos at Vidhai Birthing Centre and Hospital in Mylapore stated the birth was part of its approach to conscious birthing, which encourages women to understand their options and participate in decisions during labour.</p><p>Water birth involves labouring in a specially designed pool of warm water and, when appropriate, delivering the baby in the water. Warm-water immersion can help women relax, ease discomfort and move more freely during labour.</p><p>However, the hospital stressed that water birth is not suitable for every woman.</p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-get-ivf-support-services-at-home-from-prashanth-fertility">Chennai: Get IVF support services at home from Prashanth Fertility</a></aside><p>Proper assessment of the mother and baby, infection-control measures, monitoring and trained medical staff are essential. A planned water birth may also be changed if medical intervention becomes necessary.</p><p>“A mother’s choices should be heard and respected. When pregnancy and labour remain low-risk, we support her body’s natural process. When medical intervention becomes necessary, our responsibility is to recognise it and act appropriately,” said Dr J Nandini, founder and medical director, Vidhai Birthing Centre and Hospital.</p><p>The mother who underwent the centre’s first water birth described the experience as positive and reassuring, particularly appreciating the support and communication from the medical team.</p><p>The centre’s private birthing suites also allow mothers to have family support while maintaining access to medical care.</p><p>“A beautiful birth is not defined by where or how the baby is born. It is a birth where the mother feels safe, heard, respected and cared for, while both mother and baby receive the medical care they need,” Dr Nandini added.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Medical camps held at Anna University campus after student’s death due to fever</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/medical-camps-held-at-anna-university-campus-after-students-death-due-to-fever</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/medical-camps-held-at-anna-university-campus-after-students-death-due-to-fever#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">8b4146e6-176e-44c7-94b9-89ff16a87966</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2026 10:47:17 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-19T10:47:17.945Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Anna University,Medical camp</media:keywords><media:content height="414" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Images/Article/201603100320559436_Show-proof-of-rainwater-harvesting-Anna-University-to_SECVPF.gif" width="620"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna University]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Anna University]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Images/Article/201603100320559436_Show-proof-of-rainwater-harvesting-Anna-University-to_SECVPF.gif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Medical camps were conducted at the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/amid-dengue-scare-anna-varsity-student-dies-of-scrub-typhus">Anna University</a> campus in Guindy on Saturday following the death of a final-year student due to severe fever.</p><p><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/amid-dengue-scare-anna-varsity-student-dies-of-scrub-typhus">Harish Kumar</a>, a final-year Mechanical Engineering student staying at an Anna University hostel, died at the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital.
