A retrospective celebrating 57 years of his artistic practice brings together this journey, offering viewers an opportunity to discover the artist beyond the film sets. Presented by Artworld – Sarala’s Art International, Thota Tharani: A Retrospective – 1969 to Present will be held at Lalit Kala Akademi from October 24 to 30.</p><p>Tharani’s artistic vocabulary has evolved through experiments with colour, form, line, texture and composition. His works draw inspiration from nature, architecture, Indian traditions, mythology, music and everyday life. From early watercolours and figurative explorations to increasingly abstract compositions, his practice reflects a willingness to move between subjects and mediums.</p><h2>Letting each phase develop naturally</h2><p>Rather than follow a fixed style, Tharani prefers to allow each phase of his work to develop naturally. “I don’t think about how my work has evolved, because that could stop the flow of my paintings. I prefer to let things develop naturally and do what I want,” he says.</p><p>He also avoids returning to the same subject for too long. Each series has its own identity, allowing him to revisit familiar themes later with a different perspective and technique. “I work on different kinds of paintings, each with its own subject, so that my work does not become repetitive,” he explains. Even when he returns to a subject after several years, he approaches it differently, enjoying the freedom to experiment with new applications and ideas.</p><p>Tharani often works on a series until he has produced around 50 to 100 paintings before moving on to another subject. Returning to a theme later allows him to approach it with a different idea or technique, rather than repeat an earlier treatment. He returns with a fresh perspective.</p><figure><img alt="From the exhibition Thota Tharrani, A Retrospective - 1969 to Present" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/f5ssl9u7/From-the-exhibition-Thota-Tharrani-A-Retrospective-1969-to-Present.jpg" /><figcaption>From the exhibition Thota Tharrani, A Retrospective - 1969 to Present</figcaption></figure><h2>Painting as a personal pursuit</h2><p>This independence is central to how he distinguishes his painting practice from his work in cinema. While filmmaking involves creating visuals for directors, cinematographers and producers, painting is a more personal pursuit. “I feel that the painting is yours and the film work is for somebody else. But still, you have to have your soul and thought into the subject, into the painting or to the film side,” he says.</p><p>His experience in cinema has brought him wider public recognition, but Tharani says the two practices follow different approaches. While his work in films involves creating visuals for directors, cinematographers and producers, painting is a more personal pursuit. His Kayadu cinema series is an exception to his usual practice of keeping the two worlds separate.</p><p>“I don't consider films and painting to be the same. Films are of a different approach and painting is of a different approach. The work I do in the film industry is for other people, like directors, cameramen or producers, but the painting is done purely for me. I don't think I should be concerned about whether one person likes my painting or another doesn't. Once you do your painting, you know what is coming out of it and you understand it better. I feel that the painting is yours and the film work is for somebody else,” he says.</p><h2>Finding inspiration in music</h2><p>Music has also played a significant role in his artistic journey. A lifelong listener, Tharani recalls being drawn to film background scores from the 1960s and 1970s, remembering the composers, conductors and musicians behind them. His interest extends to Western classical composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, as well as composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.</p><p>This fascination eventually found expression in his Symphony series, among his most colourful bodies of work. The series grew out of his longstanding engagement with music and allowed him to experiment with colour on a large scale. “That is where the symphony series were born,” he says, describing the works as some of the most joyful paintings he has created.</p><h2>An open approach to subjects and materials</h2><p>His relationship with materials is equally exploratory. Whether working with pencil, oil pastels, watercolours or murals, he believes each medium demands a different approach. He is also open to finding inspiration in subjects that might otherwise appear ordinary.</p><figure><img alt="From the exhibition Thota Tharrani, A Retrospective - 1969 to Present" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/7tg4xoed/1-7.jpg" /><figcaption>From the exhibition Thota Tharrani, A Retrospective - 1969 to Present</figcaption></figure><p>“Anything can become a subject for you, the way you look at it. There is no particular rule that an artist has to follow. Some people may focus on rocks, while others may work repeatedly with seascapes. For me, I take every subject, and it automatically interests me. There is no rule that I have to paint a cup and saucer today. Anything can become a subject for me and I take it happily and do my painting,” he tells us.</p><h2>From realistic watercolours to decorative painting</h2><p>His early experiments with watercolour also shaped his subsequent direction. In 1968, when he was preparing to apply for the National Exhibition of Art, one of his teachers told him that his realistic watercolour would not be suitable for the exhibition. The experience prompted him to explore a more decorative approach. “It was a very realistic kind of work. That affected me for some time and I wondered what I should do for the next show. For the Mysore Dasara exhibition, I created a decorative watercolour and won first prize in modern decorative painting,” he recalls.</p><p>His first exhibition at Sarala’s Art Centre followed in 1970, featuring watercolours made using a different technique. A show in Bombay followed in 1971. Over the years, Tharani has held approximately 135 solo exhibitions, many of them independently organised.</p><h2>Revisiting themes with a fresh perspective</h2><p>He typically works on a series before moving to another subject, returning to earlier themes when he feels ready to approach them differently. This process allows him to experiment without repeating an earlier treatment. “I do about 50 to 100 paintings in a series. Each series will have around 100, and then I leave it and don't continue with it for a long time. I move to another subject and do another 50 or 100 paintings before moving to a third one. When I come back to the first subject, I enjoy it again because my concept, visual approach and application will all differ. You don't have to force yourself to sit under a tree and talk philosophy about your work. It is just about enjoying yourself and doing the work,” he says.</p><h2>A longstanding association with Artworld</h2><p>The exhibition holds special significance for Artworld – Sarala’s Art International, whose association with Tharani dates back to his early career. Sarala’s Art Centre presented his works on several occasions during the 1970s and early 1980s, making the retrospective a continuation of a longstanding relationship.</p><h2>The urge to keep exploring</h2><p>Despite his extensive body of work, Tharani believes there is still much to discover. He remains reluctant to predict what he might explore next, preferring to let each body of work develop on its own terms. “I don't think I've explored enough. I still have the urge to explore a lot more, so I can't tell what I'm going to do next. Until I finish the work, I won't exhibit. This is how I am,” he smiles.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Youth with fever dies in 3 hours of admission to Tambaram GH</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/youth-with-fever-dies-in-3-hours-of-admission-to-tambaram-gh</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/youth-with-fever-dies-in-3-hours-of-admission-to-tambaram-gh#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">e6c8aa2f-d511-4c87-8f45-dcc8ce660cdc</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2026 01:53:33 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-22T01:53:33.233Z</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,youth,Fever</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/wxb0f9b3/Youth-2.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ The deceased, Parthasarathy]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ The deceased, Parthasarathy]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/wxb0f9b3/Youth-2.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/youth">23-year-old</a> man from Somangalam died within three hours of being admitted to <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tambaram">Tambaram </a>District Government Hospital for <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/fever">fever </a>on Tuesday evening.

It then passes through a railway culvert towards T Nagar and collects in a sump, where a 25 HP dewatering motor pumps it out. Water will drain out by 3 pm.”</p><p>However, after a heavy downpour at night, water stagnates in the street. The disposal volume remains insufficient, causing distress to residents. He urged officials to act proactively instead of setting up pumps at the last minute.</p><p>Geetha Ganesh, secretary, AGS Colony RWA, said, “Minister R Kumar and GCC officials inspected the flood-hit areas here. He directed the deployment of additional tractor-mounted motor pumps and round-the-clock monitoring. We’ve again urged a scientific study by experts from IIT Madras and Anna University to identify the root causes and prepare a permanent flood-mitigation plan.”</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/b6u35pb7/H-General-Patters-Road-1.jpg" /></figure><h2>Damaged roads disrupt bus services</h2><p>G Manivasagam, president, Secretariat Colony RWA, said that CMWSSB officials had dug up Sakthi Srinivasan Road for sewage pipeline works, which have been progressing slowly for six months. “So, MTC bus services from Secretariat Colony to Island Ground, Royapuram, T Nagar, Guduvanchery and Koyambedu have been suspended for the past six months, as buses cannot navigate the road. It’s slushy and full of potholes. Even the interior roads of Secretariat Colony are in a similar condition,” he added.</p><p>Meanwhile, civic activist Ramesh Ramadoss, a resident of Old Washermenpet, alleged that the Metro Water board had completed pipeline works 4 months ago, but the road-relaying work was incomplete. “Several streets in Ward 48, such as Ekambaram Street and Ramanujam Koodam Street, are damaged because they were not relaid after the pipelines were installed,” he rued. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>First-time offender dresses as woman to rob elderly woman, arrested by Avadi cops in 24 hours</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/first-time-offender-disguised-as-woman-to-rob-elderly-women-arrested-in-24-hours</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/first-time-offender-disguised-as-woman-to-rob-elderly-women-arrested-in-24-hours#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">82ffaf03-36dd-402a-afff-bc49f4e38848</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2026 01:49:49 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-22T01:49:49.060Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Srikkanth Dhasarathy</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371176</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai crimes,Avadi</media:keywords><media:content height="432" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/1oy8olx1/maalai-malar2026-10-223i7hgkv9jewlery.avif" width="768"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ First-time offender dresses as woman to rob elderly woman, arrested by Avadi cops in 24 hours]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ First-time offender dresses as woman to rob elderly woman, arrested by Avadi cops in 24 hours]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-22/1oy8olx1/maalai-malar2026-10-223i7hgkv9jewlery.avif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A first time offender’s investment to rob a home alone elderly woman in <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/avadi">Avadi </a>was to buy himself a churidar in the hope that his disguise would lead police on a wild goose chase. His delusions were short-lived as Avadi City Police <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/chennai-crime">arrested </a>him within 24 hours of him robbing the woman. </p><p>The arrested person, G Venkatesh Raja (35) was a cab driver and told police that he became a thief to pay off his debts. The incident happened on Sunday October 18.</p><p>The victim, K Senthoorakani (60) of Morai near Avadi, was alone at her home when Venkatesh barged in and threatened her with a knife. He took 5-sovereign gold chain from her neck and fled. Senthoorakani informed her husband, Jeyapal, about it, and the couple approached the Avadi Tank Factory police. </p><h2>CCTV footage helps police crack case</h2><p>“Senthoorakani told us that the accused was wearing a green salwar and ‘her’ face was covered with a cloth. The victim assumed that she was robbed by a woman,” said B Sampath, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Avadi.</p><p>Three special teams were formed. They perused CCTV cameras in the neighbourhood and tracked the accused based on the description provided by the victim. Subsequently, police found that the intruder was a man disguised as a woman, and he lived in the same neighbourhood as the victim. He had targeted her to pay off his debts.</p><p>“The elderly couple ran a grocery store in the neighbourhood, which Venkatesh had frequently visited. He knew that she was alone at home during the day and targeted her,” the ACP said.</p><p>He had pawned the gold chain but the police recovered it. Venkatesh was produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Poonamallee-Vadapalani Metro line to start services at 6 am from October 23</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/poonamallee-vadapalani-metro-line-to-start-services-at-6-am-from-october-23</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/poonamallee-vadapalani-metro-line-to-start-services-at-6-am-from-october-23#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">69f70649-cc41-48a9-abd1-d1ce515c6c5a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2026 14:24:44 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-21T14:24:44.773Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Train Services,Chennai Metro Rail,Poonamallee-Vadapalani Metro line</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-05/qsmmjp7u/Untitled-design-26.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Vadapalani-Poonamallee Metro]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Vadapalani-Poonamallee Metro]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-05/qsmmjp7u/Untitled-design-26.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has advanced the commencement of train services on the Phase II Corridor 4 (Yellow Line), between Poonamallee Bypass and Vadapalani, to 6 am from October 23 (Friday), instead of 7 am, following feedback from commuters.</p><p>Services will operate from 6 am to 9 pm in both directions, with the last train departing from both Poonamallee Bypass and Vadapalani terminals at 9 pm.

The project also includes U-turn service roads beneath the bridge to ease congestion and reduce accidents.</p><p>The Highways Department has completed 94% of its work, while the Railways is widening the existing bridge on both sides. A senior Highways official said that the remaining road works will begin after the railway portion is completed.</p><p>The project will widen the existing three-lane RoB and narrow approach roads to match the IRR’s dual five-lane configuration. The stretch between Padi junction and the bridge is a traffic bottleneck, with the road narrowing to two lanes near Padi railway station on the Villivakkam side. Sharp curves beyond the bridge approach also make the stretch accident-prone.</p><p>“We’ve completed 94% of the work. The railway work is at the substructure stage. Once it’s completed, the widened carriageway will be opened to traffic,” the official said.</p><figure><img alt="Widening of Padi RoB" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/jpr17te9/IMG0266.jpg" /><figcaption>Widening of Padi RoB</figcaption></figure><p>The department is also planning U-turn service roads beneath the RoB on the Padi and Red Hills sides, for which the state government sanctioned Rs 14.5 crore in July 2025. Highway department officials said that the new service roads would let residents of Villivakkam, Kolathur, Thathankuppam and nearby areas on the right side of the IRR reach Korattur, Red Hills and other localities on the left side without relying on the congested Korattur North junction.</p><p>Vehicles heading towards the proposed Greater Chennai Corporation amusement park at Villivakkam tank would also benefit, as they would no longer need to travel up to the Korattur North signal to take a U-turn. Industries in the corridor, including Wheels India, Lucas TVS and Sundaram Clayton, are expected to gain from improved freight movement.</p><p>The proposed service roads will range from 354 metres to 424 metres, with 75-metre sections passing beneath the railway span. The design provides more than 5.5 metres of vertical clearance beneath the railway girders.

Bringing together more than 90 works, the exhibition reflects the different paths they have taken since graduation and the experiences that have shaped their artistic practices.</p><p>In 1994, shortly after graduating, a group of 10 to 15 painting students came together for an exhibition at the Madras Museum. Though they went their separate ways afterwards, pursuing different careers and interests, the connection they shared through art remained.</p><p><br>“After college, we did a show in 1994. We all went our separate ways, but after 32 years, we decided to come together again,” says Anbu, one of the participating artists and a photographer.<br></p><p>This time, the reunion brings together artists working across painting, ceramics, sculpture and visual communication. Many have pursued other professions alongside their artistic practices, making the exhibition an opportunity to reconnect with their creative roots.</p><figure><img alt="Unbound Juncture" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/l47rrbch/Unbound.jpeg" /><figcaption>Unbound Juncture</figcaption></figure><p>Unlike their first exhibition, which featured only paintings, Unbound Juncture explores different mediums, materials and social themes. The works reflect the artists’ individual journeys, offering a glimpse of how their perspectives and practices have evolved over the years.</p><p><br>“The exhibition has come together very well. We have received positive feedback from visitors, especially about how we have come together after so many years and how our work reflects a more mature perspective,” Anbu says.</p><p><br>The inauguration was a special occasion for the participating artists, who welcomed visitors and exchanged thoughts about their works. Eminent artist and film art director Thota Tharani also visited the exhibition, spending time with the artists and engaging with their creations. For the participants, Unbound Juncture is more than a group exhibition. It is a reunion shaped by decades of individual experiences, a chance to revisit shared beginnings and an opportunity to see how their artistic journeys have unfolded. Unbound Juncture is on view at Lalit Kala Akademi until October 22.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Rotary honours 113 teachers at Aasaan awards</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/rotary-honours-113-teachers-at-aasaan-awards</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/rotary-honours-113-teachers-at-aasaan-awards#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">a7dfaf1b-a8a0-4198-9067-6f5d43812206</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2026 02:01:35 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-21T02:01:35.786Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Guru Nanak College,teachers,awards,Rotary International District</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-21/ytd5zpfx/1-2.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ IT Minister R Kumar distributing the awards at a function held at Guru Nanak College, Velachery]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ IT Minister R Kumar distributing the awards at a function held at Guru Nanak College, Velachery]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-21/ytd5zpfx/1-2.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Rotary International District 3233 honoured as many as  113 teachers at the third edition of the Aasaan – Vocational Excellence Awards to Teachers 2026, held at Guru Nanak College in Velachery on Tuesday.</p><p>The awards ceremony, held on Vijayadashami, recognised educators from government and private schools associated with Rotary Clubs across the district for their contributions to education and student development.</p><p>The Vocational Service Team screened more than 300 nominations before a distinguished jury shortlisted 113 teachers for the honours.

For <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/costume-designer">costume designer</a> Uthara Menon, clothing is an extension of how she feels, lives and sees the world. At Under the Mango Tree, her pop-up, this comes together in a collection that moves between colourful casual wear, Indo-western outfits, festive ensembles, heritage saris and functional garments designed around women’s needs.</p><p>“I don’t particularly follow trends. I love to play with colour. It’s just an extension of expression and feeling,” says Uthara, whose work spans television commercials and feature films across industries.</p><p>Uthara began her career styling television commercials before moving into feature films. Her association with filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, who is also her brother, began with a commercial he directed, eventually opening the door to cinema. Although she has worked on several of his films, including Yennai Arindhaal and Enai Noki Paayum Thota, her work extends beyond that association, with credits across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada cinema.</p><p>For Uthara, costume design involves much more than selecting outfits. She develops character concepts and sketches, explores colour palettes and works with the production designer and cinematographer to ensure that the costumes complement the film’s visual language.</p><p>“The whole idea is every frame should be seamless. Nothing should stand off or look garish or suddenly disturb your eye,” she explains, adding that the aim is to keep the audience focused on the character and the dialogue.</p><p>One of her memorable approaches was styling Trisha’s character in Yennai Arindhaal, who is established as a Bharatanatyam dancer. Uthara gave the character a Bohemian sensibility with a classical touch, using vibrant colours and Indo-western styles.</p><p>Her work on period films has offered a different creative challenge. For the Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, she developed styling concepts for the cast, including Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi, drawing on historical references to recreate the clothing of an earlier era. She also recalls the extensive concept-art work involved in Kathanar, which required the team to imagine how people from a distant historical period might have dressed.</p><p>It is this freedom to research, sketch and bring an imagined world to life that excites her. The same instinct to experiment with colour, silhouette and detail now finds expression in her independent clothing collection.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/wkt5i8oh/IMG-20261020-WA0010.jpg" /></figure><p>At Under the Mango Tree, Uthara brings together everyday wear, party outfits, festive clothing and Indo-western styles, alongside the soft launch of her heritage sari collection, B’less braless everyday wear and Bloom post-mastectomy recovery garments. The collection reflects her preference for pieces that feel distinctive rather than mass-produced or trend-based.</p><p>The pop-up also marks the launch of her heritage sari collection, a venture she is developing to revive vintage styles that she believes deserve a place in contemporary wardrobes.</p><p>“I am very old school. I love the classic vintage styles and have always tried to take a leaf out of the old,” she says.</p><p>She feels that fashion can sometimes be driven by peer pressure and the desire to be seen, rather than by an appreciation of what one genuinely enjoys wearing. Her answer is to bring back styles that are timeless, tasteful and beautiful.</p><p>Her eye for fashion was also shaped at home. Uthara credits her mother, whom she describes as a fashionista, for teaching her the importance of tailoring and putting an outfit together. That attention to detail, combined with her own instinct for colour, continues to influence her designs.</p><p>The collection experiments with textiles and colour, with dresses crafted from banana silk and hemp silk, alongside flaxseed cotton and natural dyes. Kanchi cotton finds its place in the mix, too, while the heritage sari collection brings vintage weaves into focus. The idea is to bring together varied fabrics, traditional textiles and contemporary silhouettes, reflecting Uthara’s preference for classic styles with an individual touch.</p><p>Two of Uthara’s clothing initiatives address specific needs that can be overlooked in mainstream fashion: B’less, her braless everyday-wear line, and Bloom, a functional garment collection for women recovering from mastectomy surgery.</p><p>B’less emerged from personal experience. Having lived with neck and shoulder pain, Uthara wanted to explore an alternative that could be comfortable enough for everyday use.</p><p>“I just wanted to share my relief with everyone,” she says. The line features form-fitting garments designed to provide a snug fit. For Uthara, the idea is not simply about a different style of dressing, but about making comfort an everyday possibility.</p><p>Bloom came from witnessing a more specific and vulnerable experience. Someone close to Uthara was reluctant to be seen in public with the drain bags and tubes required during post-mastectomy recovery. Uthara realised that a simple clothing solution could help conceal them and restore a sense of confidence.</p><p>“It was a simple fix of concealment, and it really brought a smile to her face,” she recalls.</p><p>The garments are designed to accommodate the practical needs of recovery while allowing women to move around more comfortably instead of feeling confined to their homes. Uthara uses soft, breathable cotton fabrics, mindful of the need to avoid irritating sensitive skin.</p><p>She is also exploring ways to extend the usefulness of these garments beyond the initial recovery period. Since they may be needed for only a few weeks, she hopes to repurpose suitable pieces for regular wear or pass them on to women who cannot afford them, potentially through charitable institutions. She is working towards building awareness and connecting with hospitals and medical professionals to take the initiative further.</p><p>“I’m a sucker for classic,” she says. In a fashion landscape that often moves at the speed of the next trend, Uthara’s approach is to look back, think differently and create clothes that find a place in real life.</p><p>Under the Mango Tree is on at Vinyl and Brew, Alwarpet, Chennai, until October 24.

Market authorities attributed the loss to significantly reduced customer footfall during the pooja holidays, coupled with intermittent <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/rainfall">rainfall </a>across Tamil Nadu.</p><p>However, the resulting supply surplus offers consumers an opportunity to purchase essential vegetables at lower costs.</p><p>Speaking to DT Next, president of the Koyambedu Semi-Wholesale Vegetable Traders Association said, “Due to intermittent rain and low customer footfall during the festival period, stock that arrived at markets across districts and State could not be sold properly. A similar trend prevailed on Tuesday, as conditions remained unchanged. An aggregate of nearly 10,000 tonnes of vegetables arrive daily from various parts of Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states.”</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/y0ysppke/October-19.jpg" /></figure><p>Out of that supply, an overall calculation shows that over 2,000 tonnes, including brinjal, ladies finger, carrots, and other produce, go to waste. “As a direct result, wholesale prices for most vegetables have gradually dropped by around Rs 5. Compared to October 16, vegetable prices on October 20 have dipped. While items like carrots saw a sharper reduction of Rs 10, onion prices remained completely unchanged,” he noted</p><p>A kilo of onions cost Rs 58 since October 16, shallots were priced at Rs 100, green chillies at Rs 55, ladies finger at Rs 15, brinjal at Rs 25 per kg, and cabbage at Rs 10 per kg.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>IIT-Madras conclave to focus on AI governance, accountability</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/iit-madras-conclave-to-focus-on-ai-governance-accountability</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/iit-madras-conclave-to-focus-on-ai-governance-accountability#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">e1a9780d-8e25-41ee-95c3-0c533d04346c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2026 01:37:34 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-21T01:37:34.907Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Artificial Intelligence,IIT-Madras</media:keywords><media:content height="414" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Images/Article/201604050017120395_IIT-Madras-crowned-best-engineering-institute-in-nationwide_SECVPF.gif" width="620"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ IIT Madras]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ IIT-Madras]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Images/Article/201604050017120395_IIT-Madras-crowned-best-engineering-institute-in-nationwide_SECVPF.gif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> As <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> (AI) systems become increasingly embedded in industry and public life, <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/iit-madras">IIT-Madras</a> will host a conclave on Thursday to examine how their performance, safety and accountability can be measured to support responsible deployment.</p><p>The Industry Conclave on AI Governance 2026, organised by the Centre for Responsible AI (CeRAI) at the Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI (WSAI), will focus on ‘AI Measurement and Governance’, bringing together researchers, industry representatives and policy experts.</p><p>“Governance that isn’t grounded in measurement remains a statement of intent, not a practice,” said Prof Balaraman Ravindran, head of WSAI and CeRAI, emphasising the need for rigorous evaluation to ensure AI systems are fair, safe and robust.</p><p>The conclave will feature keynote addresses by Prof Gopal Ramchurn, University of Southampton professor and CEO of Responsible AI UK, and Prof Mohan Kankanahalli, Provost’s Chair Professor of Computer Science and director of the NUS AI Institute at the National University of Singapore.</p><p>Prof Ramchurn said, “The spread of agentic AI raises urgent questions about accountability for autonomous systems, tracing their actions and mitigating risks.” Prof Kankanahalli cautioned that rapid advances in AI capabilities could render benchmarks obsolete, complicating reliable evaluation.</p><p>A fireside chat between Ravindran and Rahul Matthan, partner at Trilegal, will explore AI measurement and governance.

The north-eastern entrance of Puzhuthivakkam station is supposed to serve several residential areas including AGS Colony, Saraswathy Nagar, and Padmavathy Nagar located in Velachery west, Puzhuthivakkam-Adambakkam zones.</p><h2>Residents forced to take 1.5 km detour to reach MRTS station</h2><h2></h2> <p>With Veerangal Odai blocking access, residents from these localities have no other option but to take a long detour to reach the MRTS Inner Ring Road and thereby access other station entrances. “We’ve appealed to SR so many times. The block, despite being hardly 500 metres away from our neighbourhood, continues to remain shut,” said Geetha Ganesh, secretary, AGS Colony Residents’ Welfare Association.</p><p>The block has lifts, escalator, ticketing counter and ample parking space remain deserted with residents using that block just as a shortcut route to reach the MRTS road. “People who have to walk struggle more.

Acknowledging the challenges, a senior official from Southern Railway told DT Next, “We’re looking into the possibilities to open the entrance.”</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>CM Vijay silent on online abuse, alleges Mayor Priya</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-mayor-priya-alleges-online-abuse-says-complaints-ignored</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-mayor-priya-alleges-online-abuse-says-complaints-ignored#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">4b100085-403d-4288-93fd-36014170330e</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2026 17:34:06 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-10-20T17:34:06.081Z</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 R Priya,Online Abuse,TVK govt</media:keywords><media:content height="916" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/2gk4vn32/1-20.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Mayor R Priya]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Chennai Mayor R Priya]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-10-20/2gk4vn32/1-20.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Chennai <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/mayor-r-priya">Mayor R Priya</a> on Tuesday accused the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/tvk-govt">TVK government</a> of failing to act on complaints about alleged <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/online-abuse">online abuse</a> and edited videos targeting her, claiming that the content was affecting her personal life and could discourage women from entering politics.</p><p>In a social media video, Priya said she had lodged complaints with the city police commissioner over the circulation of allegedly misleading videos, but no action had been taken so far.
