Presented at The Collectors Room by Artiform, Mylapore, the exhibition brings together artists who work across different mediums and processes. It also reflects Artiform’s focus on supporting young and emerging artists by increasing visibility and creating opportunities for their practices. The exhibition runs until October 31.

At the heart of the exhibition is a simple question: can materials remember? Curator Isaiarasi says the artists look at materials not merely as tools but as elements that carry texture, history and a sense of time. “Each artist in this exhibition approaches material in a very different way. Some works are built through repetition, some through lines and marks and others through assembling many small elements to create something larger,” she says.

Kannan P’s works use wooden pieces, metal sheets and other materials, drawing from his travels and what he encounters along the way. The artist says the exhibition also grew from an existing friendship among the participating artists. “Most of us have known each other for a long time. We did a group show earlier and met Isaiarasi; that’s how this show came about. Most of us are working under senior artists and are close friends. In this exhibition, we have worked with multiple mediums, including metal sheets and wooden pieces,” says Kannan.

For him, travel is an important part of his practice. “I travel a lot and whatever I see around me, I create work with my journey,” he adds.

As a printmaker, Ramesh is drawn to the intricate and detailed process, which allows each work to evolve uniquely. Working across different printmaking techniques, he explores new ways of understanding form and meaning. His travels and experiences inspire works featuring birds, animals and fish, capturing the emotions and stories of nature.

The works exhibited are a reflection of his recent travels to Kochi.

“Using etching, woodcut and mixed media, I focus on boats as a central subject, symbolising the livelihood of the people of Kochi. In one work, dense tree roots engulf the boats, while in another, a school of fish moves alongside them.

The combination of wood and metal adds a quiet tension to the surface, suggesting how memory and place evolve. Through layered textures and flowing lines, the works capture quiet moments where land, water and human presence meet,” shares Ramesh.

While the artists differ in their choice of medium and approach, Isaiarasi says their practices come together through the idea of material carrying memory.

“A piece of wood can remind us of nature, a repeated mark can remind us of time, and a collection of small elements can make us think about how individual moments come together to form something bigger,” she says.

The footpath is used by a large number of people, including children and senior citizens, while customers visiting a popular ice cream shop nearby also have to cross the cables to reach the premises. Residents said the exposed cables could pose a risk of accidents and electrical leakage if they are damaged.

Stormwater drain works are currently under way on Paper Mills Road. Residents said the power cables were removed during the work and left exposed along the footpath and roadside. Even in some stretches where the drain work has been completed, the cables have not been properly laid underground, they said.

A shopkeeper in the area, Saravanan, said customers had to cross the exposed cables to reach shops. "When such exposed cables get damaged, they are temporarily repaired by wrapping tape around them. We have repeatedly complained to the authorities, but no action has been taken so far," he said.

Resident Srinivasan said the cables could become a safety hazard during the monsoon. "If the cables develop an electrical leakage during the monsoon, pedestrians and customers visiting nearby shops could be affected," he said.

TNPDCL officials said the cables were removed when the Greater Chennai Corporation carried out works on Paper Mills Road. "As the works have been completed, the cables are currently exposed at some places. They will be properly laid underground by tonight," officials said.

The park has children’s play equipment, including a slide, swing, 4-seater merry-go-round, duck rider and climbing ladder. However, empty liquor bottles and garbage are also found inside the premises.

Parents are concerned about allowing their children to use the play equipment due to the poor maintenance and safety concerns. Residents also alleged that some people consume alcohol inside the park at night and leave empty liquor bottles behind. They said the park, which was created for children, is being used for undesirable activities after dark. 

Ramya, a resident, whose house is located close to the park, said, “Some people consume alcohol in the area at night, and also inside the park. It’s painful to see a park meant for children being used for drinking. After 7 pm, when fewer children are around, some people engage in such activities. There is not enough monitoring in the evening and at night. CCTV cameras should be installed to improve security.” 

Another resident, Palaniappan, pointed to the overgrown greenery due to poor maintenance. “Some visitors throw food packets and snack covers inside the park, which has increased the garbage. More dustbins should be installed and the garbage should be removed daily. The overgrown plants should also be trimmed and the park cleaned.” 

Listening to these complaints, a senior Corporation official told DT Next: “Steps will be taken to remove overgrown plants and accumulated garbage from the park. Necessary measures will be taken to keep the park clean and ensure that it’s safe for children to use.”

Supply will be resumed before 02.00 P.M., if the works are completed.

The fare from Poonamallee Bypass to Poonamallee Bus Stand is Rs 10, while journeys to several intermediate stations, including Poonamallee Government Hospital, Karayanchavadi, Kumananchavadi and Kattupakkam, have been pegged at Rs 20.

The fare rises to Rs 30 for Iyyappanthangal and other stations towards Porur, while a journey to Vadapalani will cost Rs 40.

The Chennai Metro Rail sources confirm that the fare will be uploaded on the official website post inauguration.

The fare structure is expected to make the new corridor an important alternative for commuters travelling between the suburbs and central Chennai.

The Poonamallee Bypass–Vadapalani section forms part of Corridor 4 of Chennai Metro Phase II, which will eventually connect Poonamallee Bypass with Lighthouse.

The operational stretch is around 14.6 km long and has 11 elevated stations.

The fare chart covers stations along the newly opened section, with the lowest fare applicable to short-distance travel and the maximum fare of Rs 40 for passengers travelling between the two terminal points.

The fare is expected to be particularly relevant for residents of Poonamallee, Kumananchavadi, Kattupakkam, Iyyappanthangal and Porur who currently depend heavily on road transport.

The proposed opening has also gained attention after months of delay. It is likely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Poonamallee–Vadapalani stretch on October 11.

Reports said the Prime Minister was expected to take a train ride from Poonamallee to Porur during the inauguration.

The stretch had received the final approval of the Commissioner of Railway Safety in May, after earlier safety clearance and compliance with conditions. The line subsequently remained closed to passengers while awaiting an inauguration schedule.

Initial services are expected to operate at ten-minute intervals, with around 15 trains likely to be deployed on the route.

At Vadapalani, commuters will be able to connect with the existing Phase I Metro network, improving access towards other parts of the city.

The man was arrested on Monday after a Mahila Court issued an arrest warrant to nab and imprison the absconding Raja, police said.

The police team led by the Inspector of Triplicane Police Station arrested Raja, 35, of Pallavan Salai here and produced him before the Mahila Court, which remanded him to judicial custody.

A release from the police said Raja's wife Sudha died by hanging in 2016, two years after marriage with him. A case of unnatural death was registered and investigated was taken up by the D-1 Triplicane Police Station.

Police investigation revealed that Sudha was harassed for dowry and abetted to commit suicide. Consequently, the legal sections of the case were altered to dowry harassment and abetment of suicide.

Raja was then aged 25.

He was arrested in 2016 and remanded to judicial custody.

Following the trial Raja, was declared guilty on May 31, 2022 by a Mahila Court which sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 15,000.

Subsequently, he appealed before the Madras High Court which in its judgment on August 25, 2026, upheld Raja as guilty and sentenced him to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment and levied a penalty of Rs 15,000.

The Mahila Court issued an arrest warrant to nab the absconding Raja and imprison him, the release said and added that the court order was executed by the Triplicane Police team led by the Inspector.

In a representation to the Railway Board Chairman, Southern Railway General Manager and Chennai Divisional Railway Manager on Thursday, the association recalled that the Chief Administrative Officer/Construction of Southern Railway had, in a reply dated June 23, 2025, assured that all railway works would be completed by October 30, 2025. However, as of September this year, the second span remains unfinished. 

“Handrail work had been continuing for several months, while construction materials and large boulders were yet to be cleared from the site, we don’t think it will be finished anytime soon,” said Augustine Roy Rozario, president of the association. 

While the attempts to contact the railway officials proved futile, the state highways department official said that the ROB work was expected to be completed by October 15. 

The four-lane ROB taken up in lieu of the LC-2 railway level crossing gate across the Pattabiram Military Siding (PTMS) line on the Chennai-Tiruvallur High Road (CTH Road), was approved by the State government in 2011 and construction began in March 2018 at a cost of Rs 78.32 crore. The portion opened in 2024 is carrying traffic in both directions leading to traffic bottlenecks. 

Residents claim that the problem was most visible at the junction near Pattabiram police station, which caters to traffic from Pattabiram, Tirunindravur and surrounding localities. The association has sought an inspection of the site and action to ensure completion of the remaining railway works.

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:

Each building has eight flats and the structures were constructed in the 1970s. Residents said that the buildings had received some maintenance during the AIADMK regime, but there had been no proper maintenance in recent years.

They said walls, staircases and other portions of the buildings had deteriorated and some had occasionally collapsed, posing a risk to residents. Paulraj, a resident, said, “My friend had come here to attend a temple festival. He was climbing the staircase to the 8^th house in Block 42 when it suddenly collapsed. He was injured in the incident, after which residents on the upper floors have been unable to access their homes.”

Residents have been staying outside their houses since 9 pm on Saturday, near Madha Church. “A temporary place should be arranged for women and children to stay. Otherwise, there is a possibility of more accidents. Families with children are afraid that pieces of the building could fall and cause injuries. As we could not enter our houses, we stayed overnight in a festival pandal nearby,” he said.

Latha, another resident, said that several portions of the buildings, including walls and staircases, were damaged both inside and outside the houses. “Residents sleep in fear at night. If this situation continues, their safety will remain at risk. No action has been taken so far,” she said.

A TNUHDB official said that the board had received a complaint regarding the condition of the buildings. “We’ll discuss the issue with the managing director and take appropriate action,” the official said.

Under the revised academic scheme, student intake for the PG Diploma in Archaeology will also be revised.

The university has also reduced the annual fieldwork fee for the MA Ancient History and Archaeology programme offered under the self-supportive mode from Rs 30,000 to Rs 20,000 a year.

The changes are part of the revised academic regulations and schemes approved by the university for implementation from the 2026-27 academic year.

Meanwhile, the university has decided to suspend five certificate courses offered by the Department of Adult and Continuing Education.

The courses are Functional English and Public Speaking, Skin Care and Beauty Therapy, News Reading and Compering, Web Page Designing, and Women Studies.

The university said the courses had remained inactive for more than five years. It has proposed suspending them from the 2026-27 academic year.

The complainant, Ashok (27) from Rajasthan, runs a cellphone shop on Athipattan Street, Chintadripet.

On September 25, the accused, Sethuraman of Aminjikarai, lured Ashok to his car after shopping on the pretext of fetching money, pushed him inside, and threatened him over a Rs 10 lakh loan taken by his brother.

When the vehicle stopped near a mall in Anna Nagar, Ashok managed to escape. Police arrested Sethuraman and recovered 97 AirPods and gadgets worth Rs 1.5 lakh, along with an iPhone and the car.

He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.

The proposed elevated link, planned across the Adyar River, will offer direct connectivity to the airport's rear side, reducing dependence on the congested GST Road. This new route is expected to streamline both passenger and cargo vehicle movement.

This road proposal aligns with AAI's plans for a fifth terminal at the airport, designed to augment capacity and optimise the use of remote bays. This terminal project, stalled for several years, was revived by AAI in 2024.

The push for alternative access is also driven by the difficulties cargo vehicles face at the main entrance. Restrictions and heavy traffic on the GST Road often hamper freight movement, particularly vehicles arriving from other parts of the State, officials noted.

The elevated corridor across the Adyar has been mooted for some time. Following the State government's request to assess the impact of the proposed structures on the river's flow during normal, monsoon, and flood conditions, AAI had previously commissioned a hydrological study by the Centre for Water Resources, Anna University.

AAI has indicated its readiness to undertake the road project once the State government grants approval. Authorities will now review the latest DPR before the proposal advances to the implementation stage.

The development coincides with AAI's broader expansion of Chennai airport, with the integrated Terminal 3 also nearing completion.

The new elevated link is expected to complement this expansion by providing a crucial additional access route for passengers and cargo.

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.

Two persons – Vicky (20) and Parthiban (26) – were arrested and police have detained six others for enquiry. The deceased was identified as Yuvanesh (26) of Kolumanivakkam near Mangadu.

Probe revealed that Yuvanesh allegedly sent obscene text messages to Vicky’s girlfriend and harassed her after which Vicky plotted to murder him. On Friday night, he called Yuvanesh for a discussion and when the two were talking, an argument broke out after which he assaulted Yuvanesh with a stone.

Parthiban too joined Vicky and the duo repeatedly assaulted Yuvanesh with stones and liquor bottles and killed him. The duo then tied a boulder to his body and dumped it in a nearby well.

Yuvanesh’s family had filed a missing complaint after which the police conducted investigations and learnt about what transpired. On Saturday, police and rescue personnel recovered his body from the well and sent it to Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for postmortem. Further investigation is underway. 

Police said that he was earlier an accused in a murder case and was cleared of the charges a few years ago. 

Probe revealed that he was in a relationship with a woman, who lived in Srinivasapuram in Korukkupet with her husband and two children. She broke up with Babulal and did not respond to his phone calls for the last few months, after which he decided to attack her. 

On September 18, she was sitting outside her house while her husband and children were inside. Police said Babulal approached the house from the back, poured petrol on her and set her afire before fleeing the scene. 

Hearing her screams, her husband and neighbours rushed to her rescue and took her to Stanley GH. She was later referred to KMCH for further treatment. The woman had suffered 50% burns and died without responding to treatment. 

The Greater Chennai Corporation fared badly with an income of Rs 4,431.80 crore against expenditure of Rs 5,295.01 crore in 2024-25, resulting in an annual deficit of Rs 863.21 crore. Its accumulated deficit stood at Rs 3,567.52 crore as of March 31,

The department raised 1,82,450 audit observations during the year, but only Rs 1.28 crore had been recovered in cash against objections settled as of May 31, 2026. Of the 4,229 institutions due for audit, scrutiny was completed in 4,217.

The audit identified seven major GCC observations totalling Rs 2.76 crore, including tender-procedure violations, delays in property-tax assessment and in the revision of demands, payments for road renovation work, deployment of conservancy workers for office duties, excess payment to a contractor, and expenditure on closed Micro Compost Centres.

Procurement practices also came under the scanner. The audit questioned Rs 20.09 crore spent through quotation-based procurement and execution of works in GCC zones and schools, instead of the open e-tender process prescribed under the Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Act and Rules.

Procurement for the Chief Minister's Breakfast Scheme was also flagged. The audit found that vegetables and other raw materials were procured through quotations rather than directly from the designated government agencies, as prescribed. The GCC maintained that the purchases were made through the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation and the Tamil Nadu State Palm Jaggery and Fibre Sales Cooperative Federation, citing Chief Secretary's guidelines. The objection remains pending for government orders.

The financial strain was not confined to Chennai. The 24 other city Municipal Corporations together recorded Rs 6,200 crore in revenue against Rs 7,560.81 crore expenditure, resulting in a combined annual deficit of Rs 1,360.80 crore. Their accumulated deficit stood at Rs 1,526.35 crore, while debt liability stood at Rs 3,055.24 crore, and recoverable tax stood at Rs 2,420.09 crore.

A key audit finding involved an estimated Rs 389.55 crore revenue loss across corporations due to the short collection of water supply and underground sewerage charges, with commercial and industrial buildings allegedly being charged residential rates.

Avadi was separately flagged for failing to levy property tax from the half-year in which CMDA completion certificates were issued, resulting in a reported revenue loss of Rs 75.71 lakh.

The audit also found cases where collections through cards, cheques and demand drafts were either not credited or short-credited to Corporation accounts. The combined amount involved in the affected corporations was Rs 2.54 crore, with Tambaram among those flagged.

There were wide differences in the financial performance of the 24 corporations. Tambaram recorded an annual surplus of Rs 168.78 crore and an accumulated surplus of Rs 573.52 crore, while Avadi posted an annual deficit of Rs 31.21 crore despite an accumulated surplus of Rs 31.66 crore. Several other corporations ended the year with both annual and accumulated deficits.

The report also recorded an annual deficit of Rs 527.86 crore and an accumulated deficit of Rs 3,007.56 crore among 137 municipalities.

“I came here completely on my own with so many second thoughts running at the back of my head,” says Prithvinka. Expecting awkward silences, she instead found herself welcomed by the host and the women around her. She began by talking to the host and the person sitting next to her and, by the end of the event, had interacted with almost everyone in the room.

The gathering, ‘Saree, Brunch & Art with Rafiky’, brought women together at Sashwatha Cafe, Anna Nagar, for an afternoon of sarees, mallipoo, brunch, mandala-making and conversations. But beneath the activities was a simpler idea: creating a space where people could meet without needing an existing friendship or professional connection.

For Jefin Manojline, Founder of MyRafiky, that idea comes from the connection between mental health and loneliness. “We started MyRafiky as a mental health community because we believed that mental health and loneliness are two sides of the same coin. You can have people around you and still feel incredibly alone,” Jefin says.

“I think what people are missing is intentional presence,” he adds. Everyday conversations can be rushed or distracted, whereas a space created specifically for connection allows people to listen and stay in the conversation.

When making friends becomes difficult

For Sahana, the gathering brought up a feeling she had been missing: making friends without an agenda. “As adults, we all look forward to networking with new people and sharing our LinkedIn IDs more than making friends. I sometimes used to wonder where the joy of making friends disappeared. I missed the times when the only reason someone came and said hi was to be my friend,” she says.

She had been curious about communities such as MyRafiky but was hesitant about attending alone. Eventually, she decided that waiting for someone to accompany her might mean never taking the step.

Prithvinka, too, came out of curiosity and a desire to do something for herself. Conversations soon moved beyond introductions, with women discussing friendships, navigating their 20s, figuring out life and the difficulty of meeting people as adults.

“It was comforting to realise that a lot of the things I thought were just my own thoughts were actually things other women were feeling too. I came in knowing nobody and somehow left knowing little pieces of so many people’s stories,” she says.

From strangers to a community

The shift from strangers to a sense of belonging happened gradually. For Prithvinka, it was the smiles and the realisation that others had arrived with the same uncertainty. The more they spoke, the more she felt like she was among her “girl gang”.

Jefin says MyRafiky’s focus is to ensure that such gatherings do not become merely Instagrammable experiences. The team introduces participants and guides conversations, while hosts remain attentive to anyone who might need help entering a conversation. “The aesthetic may bring someone into the room, but the quality of the interaction is what makes them want to come back,” he says.

According to Jefin, those interactions have sometimes continued long after the events. People who met through MyRafiky have gone on trips together, become close friends and even attended weddings of people they first met through the community. For someone wondering whether to attend alone, Jefin’s answer is simple: not knowing anyone is often what many people in the room have in common. Participants do not have to arrive confident or outgoing; they only have to take the first step.

For Sahana, “the hardest part is just walking through the door,” she says. “Once you’re there, the smiles, the conversations and the activities make it so much easier. And you never know, you might walk in alone and walk out with a little girl gang of your own.” For the next MyRafiky event, check their social media handles.

While non-discriminatory adult franchise in parliamentary and Assembly elections is a constitutional guarantee, the enumeration of voters and actual voting are governed by laws enacted by Parliament and rules and orders issued by the Election Commission of India.

Therefore, when a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was ordered during the Bihar poll, followed in several election-bound States, the Supreme Court did not interfere, except for the inclusion of Aadhaar as an identity card. They did not examine the actual format of an SIR, asking for several details which even an educated, middle-class person can answer.

The Bengal SIR proved to be the worst ever SIR, which even altered the course of election results. This led the SC to take suo motu action, forming judicial authorities to scrutinise deletions along with an appellate tribunal.

There are about 32 lakh appeals, and it may take several years to get disposed of. Even then, the SC did not stop the election and went on advising disenfranchised voters to be patient and that they have more opportunities to vote in their lifetime. It is only now that internal dissension within the ECI brought out the revised format of Form 6, by which several lakh voters were removed.

When the SC will decide these issues and guarantee a free and fair poll is anybody's guess. Only a fair and free selection of the ECI with guaranteed autonomy alone can bring in fair elections. With a bad umpire and match-fixing, we will have no good sport.

Govt has no mechanism to control AI; urgent safeguards needed to tackle ‘Bhasmasura’

Will the latest incidents of AI tools autonomously hacking computer systems, without prompts from human operators, lead to legal complications? If an AI agent independently executes a cyberattack, who should bear legal responsibility? How should law-enforcement agencies investigate and prosecute cross-border cyberattacks carried out autonomously by AI agents, particularly when the operator and victim are located in different jurisdictions? Is there a need for a dedicated international or nodal mechanism to coordinate investigations, preserve digital evidence, and determine jurisdiction when autonomous AI systems are involved in transnational cyber offences? More importantly, is India's existing legal and institutional framework equipped to deal with such threats?

-- R Chandrasekar, Chetpet, Chennai

Even the Supreme Court has grown alarmed over AI becoming an increasing threat through its usage by lawyers, judges, and Tribunals, and has sent out a warning totally banning its usage in judgment writing and cautioning lawyers to vouchsafe that they will not bring court judgments generated by AI usage.

As on date, the government has no mechanism to prevent AI usage (or misuse) in various activities in the administration of the country. In essence, it has no ways and means to control it. AI has actually become the proverbial "Bhasmasura", and its potential to cause a disaster is yet to be fathomed.

It is high time we wake up to study its potential harm, take steps to control its use, and create safeguards for the future defence of the country.

While three persons were arrested in connection with the case and premises of the former minister were searched two weeks ago, CCB officials on Saturday conducted searches at the house and office of the relatives of Muthukumar, one of the prime suspects in the case, who is now absconding.

Muthukumar was involved in financial transactions by claiming to get government approvals from private school managements at his company named Global 360 Degree in T Nagar, Chennai, and his relative Saravanan was found to have abetted him in the transactions, investigations have revealed.

On Saturday, police conducted searches in his relatives’ houses – Saravanan and Ramesh – in Kallakurichi, and the house and shop of Gokulakrishnan in Kallakurichi and seized 30 bank-related documents.

On September 16, the CCB had said that they had booked the former minister on corruption charges and launched simultaneous searches at nine locations in Chennai and Tiruchy

Earlier, on September 16, the CCB had said that they had booked the former minister on corruption charges and launched simultaneous searches at nine locations in Chennai and Tiruchy, and also places belonging to his aides Valadi Karthik, Arun Prakash and Prakash. Property documents, bank details, cheques and electronic devices were seized.

The case stems from a complaint filed by Elangovan, Secretary of the Federation of Associations of Private Schools in Tamil Nadu, with the Chennai City Police Commissioner. He alleged that a network had collected money from private school managements after promising to secure government approvals, including permanent recognition, upgradation, DTCP clearance and other clearances.

Based on the complaint, the CCB registered a case and arrested the prime accused, B.T. Arasakumar (59) of Saligramam, Chennai, on June 27. He was later remanded in judicial custody and detained under the Goondas Act. Two other accused, Suresh and Raja have also been arrested in the case.

Police said that over 250 people have been examined across Tamil Nadu, including several government officials from the School Education Department, and relevant government documents have been seized.

Preliminary inquiry has revealed that several crores of rupees were allegedly collected from 177 private schools on false assurances. Bank accounts linked to the accused, their family members and associates have been identified and frozen – 20 accounts linked to Arasakumar and his family and 29 accounts linked to another suspect Muthukumar are under financial scrutiny.

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.

The drive covered 635 government and Corporation-run schools and 899 private schools across all 15 zones. Around 3,214 workers were deployed to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding spots on school premises.

Teams removed 7,419 kg of unwanted materials that could hold stagnant water and collected 932 kg of discarded tyres. As part of preventive measures against mosquito breeding, 262 fogging and larvicidal spraying machines were deployed across the campuses.

The GCC has now extended similar preventive drives to college campuses across the city.

Civic officials have instructed school administrations to immediately remove stagnant rainwater, maintain sanitation standards and create awareness among students, teachers and parents about preventing vector-borne diseases.

The couple’s labour of love, Feli’s Kitchen, recently opened in Velachery. They serve a variety of northeastern cuisines, with a focus on Mizo flavours, hoping to introduce Chennaiites to cuisines they feel deserve greater familiarity.

Initially, the couple cooked meals from home for students and staff at IIT Madras. “We started by making meals for just a few people at the institution. But within a year and a half, we had around 750 steady customers,” says Marlon. The response inspired the couple to open a physical space.

A cosy space, the restaurant feels lived-in. There’s a guitar leaning against a wall, wind chimes swaying in the breeze, books tucked into corners, and photographs of customers, as well as the couple’s families and their staff, on the walls. A few tables away, plates of pork, rice and vegetables are being polished off, while the smell of something slow-cooked lingers in the air.

As the dishes made their way to our table, we began with the mango sticky rice. Cooked with coconut milk and sugar, the dessert is cooled before being topped with coconut cream, condensed milk and cubes of mango. The rice itself was soft and mildly sweet, with the coconut flavour coming through gently without overpowering the fruit. “We use seasonal Neelam mango for its aroma, while roasted sesame seeds add a slight nuttiness. My tip is to mix the coconut cream into the rice, so that every spoonful carries the flavour instead of leaving the cream only on top,” says Feli, who previously worked as a chef in a hotel.

Next, we sampled their pork curry, where the meat was cooked with mustard leaves procured directly from Mizoram, along with fresh kimchi and white cilantro. Instead of corn flour, they use potatoes and onions to thicken the gravy, explains Feli. The smoked pork curry brought another distinctly Northeastern flavour to the table. It was cooked with dry mushrooms, akhuni (fermented soybean), white cilantro, fresh kimchi, tomatoes and potato, with the fermented soybean adding depth. The Nampi pork chilli fry is where the heat picked up - with the pork cooked first and then stir-fried with fish sauce, a little soy sauce and chilli flakes. “A customer suggested replacing green chilli with chilli flakes would make this dish even better, and then this version became our fast-selling dish,” reveals Feli.

The roasted beef cubes were the highlight. Despite its name, the beef wasn’t deep-fried but slowcooked for nearly three hours with very little red chilli powder, turmeric and salt, until the meat turned soft and tender rather than chewy. “The long cooking allows the flavour of the beef to remain at the centre,” Feli explains.

The ramen was light, topped with mushrooms, carrots and beans, with a non-vegetarian option available too. Sesame seeds, green onions and finely sliced cabbage added texture, while the noodles were tossed with oil, onions and masala, making it a warm and savoury dish.

The vegetarian thali offered a true taste of the homely side of Feli’s cooking. It featured a simple potato fry, a broccoli and mushroom sauté, and akhuni with white cilantro. There was also eromba, a spicy mashed potato preparation made with banana blossom and fresh kimchi from Mizoram. “The dal curry, made with masoor and toor dal, comes from my sister-in-law Anitha’s recipe, while the bhindi fry is inspired by South Indian cooking but with less masala,” adds Feli.

What ties the meal together is that none of the dishes seems to be trying too hard. The flavours are built around ingredients that Feli knows and understands, including pork, fermented soybean, herbs, chillies, vegetables and rice, with cooking methods that keep the food close to its roots. For Feli, cooking is not just about getting the ingredients right, but about putting a little bit of yourself into what you make. “Food I love, I can cook. Food I don’t love, I can’t cook. Food is all about heart,” she says.

And perhaps that is what makes Feli’s Kitchen stand out. You do not simply leave having tried Northeastern food; you leave having tasted a little of Feli’s home, her memories and the way she believes food should be cooked, with heart.

The Municipal Administration and Water Supply department issued the GO after the GCC received complaints regarding the food supplied to cleanliness workers under the existing arrangement.

The GCC entered into a three-year arrangement to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to cleanliness workers. The system came into effect on November 15, 2025.

The GO noted that complaints about the food quality, timely distribution and hygiene deficiencies in the kitchens were received. Concerns were also raised over the quality of raw materials and utensils used for preparing and serving the food, as well as their maintenance.

Following this, the GCC sought the cleanliness workers' views on continuing the existing system. According to the GO, about 92 per cent of the workers expressed their preference for receiving a food allowance instead of meals.

Based on the feedback, the government has approved the discontinuation of the existing food-supply arrangement and authorised the GCC to provide a food allowance of Rs 50 per day to 24,264 cleanliness workers employed through private agencies, including Urbaser Sumeet and Chennai Enviro Solutions Private Limited.

The allowance will be calculated based on the number of days a worker attends duty and paid along with the monthly salary.

The annual expenditure towards the allowance is estimated at Rs 44.28 crore. The GCC will meet the expenditure from its own funds, the GO said.

The government has directed the GCC to implement the new arrangement after discontinuing the existing system of supplying meals to cleanliness workers.

How smoking affects the scalp

Nicotine constricts small blood vessels, including the fine vessels supplying the hair follicles. Reduced scalp blood flow means the follicles receive less oxygen and fewer nutrients, weakening the conditions needed for normal hair growth.

Tobacco smoke also generates free radicals and oxidative stress, which can damage follicular cells and interfere with the hair-growth cycle.

Pattern hair loss may come earlier or progress faster

Genetics and hormones, especially dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, remain the central drivers of androgenetic alopecia. But smoking appears to act as an accelerant. Analyses have found an association between smoking and both the presence of pattern hair loss and its progression.

In one meta-analysis, smoking was associated with higher odds of having androgenetic alopecia and with greater odds of progression. Another review reported significantly higher odds of disease progression among men who had ever smoked compared with never-smokers.

Sleep, stress and the hidden loop

Nicotine is stimulating and can disrupt sleep quality. Poor sleep and higher stress-hormone activity aren’t ideal for hair because they can worsen inflammation and reduce the body’s ability to support normal follicle recovery.

The practical message is simple: smoking does not merely “dry out” hair; it creates a less favourable scalp environment through reduced circulation, oxidative damage, inflammation and sleep disruption.

Does it reduce results from PRP or GFC?

PRP and GFC aim to stimulate healing, improve the follicular environment and support weaker follicles. Smoking works in the opposite direction, reducing microcirculation and increasing oxidative and inflammatory injury, so it is reasonable to expect that heavy smoking may blunt the benefit a patient receives from these treatments.

Stopping smoking will not reverse genetic baldness on its own, but it removes a modifiable factor that can make thinning worse and may improve the scalp’s response to medical and regenerative treatments. For anyone using minoxidil, finasteride, PRP, GFC or other hair-restoration therapies, quitting is one of the most sensible steps to protect the investment.

Pointing out that thousands of motorists use this road daily as a shortcut to Thiruverkadu, Noombal, and Vanagaram, commuters noted that intermittent rains quickly washed away previously laid wet-mix fillings.

According to residents, motorists on Mettu Salai have been contending with severe potholes and frequent accidents for the past two years, with conditions worsening even during light to moderate showers.

Originally planned as a 50-foot-wide road, encroaching commercial buildings, compound walls of vacant layouts, and residential houses have reduced its width to just 30 feet, causing further inconvenience.

Citizen Senthil, an activist and a resident of Iyyappanthangal, said, "Because the road has narrowed, this specific stretch located 800 meters from Mount-Poonamallee Road near a private parking yard has become a major threat to motorists. Two weeks ago, acting on a public complaint, panchayat officials filled the potholes with a wet mix as a temporary measure. However, recent rains washed it away entirely, leaving the road in an even worse state. We urge the panchayat to carry out proper bitumen patchwork right away."

Another resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, highlighted the stretch's heavy daily traffic: "Educational institutions, temples, and a police station are located along this road. Thousands of commuters rely on it daily to bypass main traffic. Because of its severely damaged state, traffic congestion surges during morning and evening peak hours." Attempts to reach Kundrathur BDO for a comment were unsuccessful.

T Ranjan (25), a trans man from Chengalpattu, had his gender-affirming surgery at the Rajiv Gandhi General Government Hospital (RGGGH), Chennai, on August 7. However, the journey was nothing short of a nightmare.

To begin with, he had to visit RGGGH multiple times to finalise a surgery date. “Every time I visited the hospital, doctors and nurses would give me a new test to be taken. They did not give me a reason or explain any of the complications,” he recalls.

He stopped taking his hormones in June, and the surgery should have been in the second half of July. The date was continuously delayed with requests for multiple tests without explanations.

The Trans ACT has stalled the process of getting a transgender ID card. The application processes have slowed down considerably

Loss of pay

Ranjan, because of the lack of family support, works in a garment store in Chengalpattu. For every visit to the RGGGH in Chennai, he had to lose a day of pay for over eight months of his transition process. “My monthly salary is Rs 12,000. Every time I had to go to the hospital, I had to take leave. You do the math on how much I lost,” he rues.

Also, he had to pay close to Rs 1 lakh from his pocket as the Chief Minister’s Health Insurance Scheme only covered his surgery expense. After the surgery, he had to visit the hospital in Chennai multiple times a week because there is no government-aided gender facility in Chengalpattu. 

Doctors at RGGGH say that the repeated tests could be due to health complications that he was at risk of. However, Ranjan was never informed about those health complications; only that he had to take those tests.

Activists opine that delays are a norm at government hospitals. Often, trans men would choose to procure hormones themselves; those who had the money would buy from private hospitals. “A surgery in a private hospital would cost somewhere between Rs 3-5 lakh,” says trans woman Jaya, the co-founder of Sahodaran, (NGO).

Additionally, he was asked to produce a letter from any of the associations for trans persons in Chennai, or an NGO, a practice that came up only after the bill was passed.

For those who already have TG cards, there is some clarity. During a hearing on August 17, the Union government told the Supreme Court that TG cards issued before the 2026 amendment would continue to remain operational, subject to the outcome of the petitions challenging the law. But for those seeking an ID card under the new system, the process could carry a significant medical and financial burden

Act changed it all

The letter was not mandatory up until a year ago; however, after the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, 2026, came into place, doctors have started asking for the letter again.

“They had stopped taking it last year, after multiple sensitising sessions; however, the Act has reactivated that,” says Fred Rogers, a transgender rights activist. Many places have also been demanding parental consent as well. 

The amendment, which came into force in March this year, removes self-identification as a valid recognition of trans persons, and requires a medical board to certify a person’s gender identity. It also narrows the definition of who can be legally recognised as trans, covering certain socio-cultural identities such as kinner, hijra, aravani, and jogta, as well as people with specified intersex variations. This leaves out other people in the community like trans men and other affirmative identities.

Further, it criminalises those who aid people to adopt or present a trans identity “by force, allurement, inducement, deceit or undue influence”. This last clause has triggered panic among doctors who have been seeking letters and consent from parents. 

“My friend who had surgery was never asked for a notary certificate. If I were educated, I would have known, but I studied only until Class 7,” laments Ranjan. Later, he was helped by others in the community to secure a certificate. 

TG card

If getting a gender-affirming surgery was a Herculean process, availing an insurance card is next to impossible. Karthik (30) knows that very well.

Waiting is not new to this trans man, as he had to wait for months to apply, and then some more, to receive the Transgender ID (TG). Though it was mostly an online process, he couldn’t even apply for a TG card as the portal did not work most of the time.

The Trans ACT has stalled the process of getting a transgender ID card. The application processes have slowed down considerably.

When Karthik approached RGGGH for gender-affirming surgery, he was turned down, as he did not have a TG card – a legal requirement for his treatment. Now that he has received the TG card, he still needs a health insurance card.

Karthik, originally from Kancheepuram, had been travelling back and forth to the GH until he was finally turned away. Every week, he begins his journey from Kancheepuram at 4.30 am, so he can get all the tests done. “But even after the test, we cannot meet the doctor; I have to go again next week,” he says. Each day he misses work, he misses Rs 1,500 of his pay too. 

Karthik, who works as a parotta master for daily wages, disclosed his gender identity to his parents in 2021. “I was assigned female gender at birth. So, when I came out as trans to my parents, they got me married to a man. And, now I have a five-year-old boy,” he begins.

Feeling miserable with the identity assigned to him, he separated from his partner two years ago. Since then, he had been mulling over transitioning. “I’ve lost almost 6 years of my life to society; now I want to live for myself. I feel transitioning is right for me. But the delays have been stressful and heartbreaking,” he says.

Due to the delay in acquiring the insurance card, Karthik began the transition process at a private clinic, after getting a recommendation letter from RGGGH. After Chief Minister C Joseph M Vijay announced an increase in the insurance amount from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh, there has been a delay in processing new applications. His application is caught in the melee.

Gender erasure

The new Act removes self-identification as a valid way of identifying oneself as trans. With this, the trans community has been pushed into a limbo. The amendment also leaves out trans men, erasing them further in the system.

“Across India, the terminology T is being equated only as trans women. We’re marginalised of the marginalised. This Act erases us by refusing to recognise us, include us and protect us through law. Our entire community of trans men (assigned female at birth) and gender-queer communities – the Act does not see us as belonging to the transgender umbrella,” explains Fred. 

There are two types of TG cards: one from the State and another at the National level. For the State-level card from Tamil Nadu, only an Aadhaar is sufficient for the application. A national card requires an affidavit as well. Following the amendment a few months ago, the national TG card portal is not active,” says Jaya.

For example, Fred removed the term self-identification from the consent form he shares with medical practitioners because it could complicate things. “Earlier, we used terminology like ‘assigned female at birth’ and that the person is ‘self-identifying’ as a man. Since self-identification is no longer recognised, I have removed the term ‘self’ from the form. But the actual scientific reason is gender incongruence. And to address that, a person is sound enough to give consent for seeking medical care as per ICD-11,” he explains. 

Explaining further, Jaya says, “According to the 2014 NALSA verdict (a landmark Supreme Court judgment that recognised transgender persons as a third gender), self-identity was important, and the State had to accept if someone self-identified as trans. There was no need to have a certificate, take hormones or transition,” she says.

However, according to the new amendment, you can only acquire a transgender identity with a medical board certification. But not everyone can afford to transition or wants to. “For example, trans women could have family pressure, family’s health history and other financial issues that prevents them from taking up gender affirmation care,” she says. “There could be physical issues too. Also, for trans men, there is only top surgery in India. While penis construction is done, it is not successful. So how would the medical board decide?”

Doctors are scared

Dr Gargi, a transgender person from the Kothi community, says that doctors fear giving care to the trans community because of the amended Act. “The Act mentions that you cannot forcibly transition anyone. But when we approach doctors voluntarily, they are scared of giving us hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender affirmation services, as they believe families of trans folks could use the Act to incriminate those who assist in transitioning, even if it was to declare anyone as trans. The amendment is unscientific as no doctor can declare someone as trans. In addition to making life difficult for trans persons, it also punishes those who assist us even if they have a medical license,” she laments.  

For those who already have TG cards, there is some clarity. During a hearing on August 17, the Union government told the Supreme Court that TG cards issued before the 2026 amendment would continue to remain operational, subject to the outcome of the petitions challenging the law. But for those seeking an ID card under the new system, the process could carry a significant medical and financial burden.

Doctors across the country have also started demanding parental video consent, or consent from attendees from the community seeking surgery. 

Lakshya Mannar, a trans woman, says that recently, she was asked to give video consent for one of her friends she was accompanying for a breast implant surgery in Pune. Trans women often seek medical care outside of Tamil Nadu because the treatment there is better.

“So, we go to Pune because the surgery and after-care is much better there. I’ve taken three of my friends there, but nobody had asked for a video recording of our consent till now. While one could imagine that the consent video of the care-seeker is needed, why mine? I am just an attendee,” she says.

While Lakshya was attempting to seek gender-affirming care, she has put her plans on hold following this amendment. “I’ve been planning to do my surgery in Thailand, as I’ve heard of many instances of medical complications during and after the surgery. This has deeply scarred me. But now it’s even worse, as the amendment has put so many obstacles before me,” she says. “As per this Act, I need a doctor and then a magistrate to approve my TG card. And that card can get me a passport but only a surgery will give me legal acceptance as a trans person. I do not look like a trans woman, so people suspect me. And, this Act further prevents care to those who do not fit into the norms. It has created undue pressure and mental stress for us. I do not have parents to give me consent.”

The first step in seeking gender affirming care is a TG card, which in itself is discriminatory, claim activists, as self-identification should be enough. Following that, gender incongruence is recorded and a psychiatrist would attest to it in a letter. With that letter, you can seek gender affirming hormone therapy or surgery. For surgery, assessments are made by two mental health professionals (psychiatry and clinical psychology).

It’s noteworthy to point out that for any kind of gender affirming care, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health recommends only informed consent.

Fred says after the amendment, multiple psychiatrists doubt as to how their referral letters would help in seeking gender affirming care. And many endocrinologists fear that they could be booked as criminals, as the phrasing of the amendment criminalises anyone helping someone transition. 

“The amendment has undone years of activists, NGOs, and seniors from the community. This could be detrimental to our health, because we’re scared to approach a primary/secondary/tertiary care unit or even disclose to our families that we’re trans,” he adds. “We already face so much stigma and discrimination; now, it will increase as the amendment excludes us from protections, as it makes us vulnerable to sexual violence.”

Swetha Shri from SAATHI, an NGO, says that there were a handful of doctors who were providing gender-affirming care. “They were startled by this, and reached out to elders in the community for clarity on the amendment. This resulted in a private clinic in Chennai asking for video consent of parents of trans people even if they are adults,” she says.

Swetha adds that this was an added burden on people who are kicked out of their homes and have to support themselves. “There are literally very few who offer surgery with minimal complaints, and now this amendment has made it more difficult,” she says.

While a letter was sought before, awareness campaigns by such NGOs sensitised hospitals and doctors towards gender affirming care, and negated that.

Jaya says the amendment was brought in so that the schemes for the community are not misused. But the schemes themselves are so few. “How much exploitation could happen by the community? From a free house to people over the age of 40 to shelters and free admissions, there are some things in place. But if someone is taking advantage of these schemes unfairly, we’ll be the first ones to flag it,” she explains.

Their demand to have more gender clinics in TN, other than in Chennai, has also not been fulfilled. Chennai has a gender clinic only in RGGGH. Further, she adds, “The amendment does not add any safeguards to the schemes, or the aid we could access. While if someone violates us, the punishment is 2 years; for supporting someone, we could face rigorous punishment. How is this fair?” she fumes.

RGGGH doctors say...

Meanwhile, when DT Next reached out to doctors at the gender clinic in RGGGH, they stated that they had always sought a letter from the community. “I’ve had experiences where trans folks have sought care, only to come back saying they want to reverse it. What happens if I am implicated in such a case like a crime? What are my safeguards?” asked one of the doctors in the clinic. They are also looking for clarity from the government. However, RGGGH doctors claim that the Social Justice Department has instructed them to continue doing what they have been doing so far. 

“The idea is to explore as much as possible in vegetarian cuisine. We keep coming out with multiple concepts — breakfast, lunch, mango festival and so on. There is always something happening at House of Idlies. We wanted to do something with vegetarian food and it worked out really well. We just want to explore deep into vegetarian cuisine,” says founder Umesh V.

The inspiration came from the biryani itself and the many details that go into making it. Umesh says that, having grown up around vegetarian food, meals were always about several components — sambar, kootu, poriyal and more.

“Biryani is truly an emotion; we should agree to it because every process matters a lot,” he says. From the amount of oil and spices used to the time taken to soak and cook the rice, the rice-to-water ratio and even the final colour, he says every detail can influence the finished dish.

“Even a small bite can take you to your favourite moment of your life. People love biryani so much, so that was one reason we thought we should do something about it. Also, there are a lot of people who want to have veg biryani, so why not let's give it a try,” he adds.

For the four varieties, the team drew inspiration from home cooks, food enthusiasts and regional cooking content online. The intention was to keep the selection familiar and relatable rather than make it overly expansive.

Basmati Dum Biriyani was an easy inclusion, as the variety was already part of the restaurant’s menu. The other preparations bring their own techniques and flavour profiles, with the team attempting to retain their individual character.

The accompaniments are also an important part of the meal. The spread includes bread halwa, onion raita, kathrikkai pachadi, Empty Salna, mirchi ka salan and pudhina chutney. A broccoli chilli fry is available as a special add-on.

Umesh says even familiar sides receive attention. “Even something as simple as raita takes effort. The way the ingredients are sliced and prepared, all of that makes a lot of difference,” he says.

“The vegetarian market in Chennai has its own demand,” says Umesh. The Saiva Biriyani Virundhu is priced at Rs 400 plus GST for an unlimited serving, while a limited portion is available for Rs 220. The festival will be available for dine-in and takeaway from 12 noon onwards at House of Idlies, Bazullah Road, T Nagar, till September 30, and from October 24 to November 1.

Residents have complained repeatedly that officials have failed to stop the alleged collections, which they claim have continued for more than a decade.

Ward 196 in Sholinganallur zone has separate Christian and Muslim burial grounds and a crematorium. The burial grounds lack basic facilities including tap water, usable toilets and adequate lighting, and are poorly maintained, residents said.

"Okkiyam Thoraipakkam Village Panchayat was brought under the GCC 15 years ago. And yet, when complaints were filed, zonal officials said that it came under the panchayat administration and that there were no Corporation workers available," a resident lamented.

K Murugan, a resident, alleged that sanitary inspectors, sanitary officers and the Sholinganallur Zonal Health Officer had failed to act on complaints. "Instead of enforcing free services and stopping the collections, officials feign ignorance. Their response is often, 'Is that so?' This raises concerns over whether officials are also receiving a share of the money," he opined.

C Premkumar of Ezhil Nagar said that workers demanded Rs 5,000 when his grandmother died last month. "Following intervention by a GCC official, an order was issued to return the Rs 500 paid in advance. But the workers continued visiting my house for money," he rued.

Murugan alleged that workers demanded cash and, when relatives asked to make digital payments, directed them to transfer money to a nearby kiosk's GPay account instead of providing their own number. "The gasifier crematorium, inaugurated in 2025, was initially free of charge," another resident said. "A banner displaying the complaint-helpline numbers was later removed to ensure the public is unaware that the service was free."

Concurring with the resident was Murugan: "A private contractor continues to collect fees despite the free service. Though we have complained and sought a change of contractor from the Zonal Health Officer, the same contractor continues to operate the crematorium."

When DT Next visited both burial grounds, it was evident they had not been cleaned, repaired, or maintained for a long time. The premises were overgrown with bushes and weeds, and residents raised concerns about snakes and rodents. Toilets were unusable with broken or missing doors, while sinks were absent and plumbing was damaged. Debris covered the floors. The lack of high-mast lights has also left visitors and workers vulnerable after dark.

At the Christian burial ground, a shed once used as a plastic baling unit has been left filled with rubble, dirt and construction waste. Residents said that it has been encroached upon and converted into an informal cowshed, while some iron rods from the structure were allegedly being removed and sold as scrap.

A senior Corporation official told DT Next, “Complaints against those demanding money will be investigated. If complaints are filed by residents against the person demanding money, disciplinary action will be taken. I’ll speak to the local officials and take necessary action.”

The arrested man was identified as Madan (30). Madan. The deceased was his friend, Vasanthakumar (45), a tailor. On September 21, Vasanthakumar's body was found on the banks of a waterbody. The police initially registered a case of suspicious death and sent the body to the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for postmortem.

The report revealed that sand had been stuffed into Vasanthakumar's mouth, following which police intensified the investigation and detained his friend, Madan. During questioning, police found that Vasanthakumar and Madan had gone to the tank bund on the night of September 20 and consumed liquor. A quarrel broke out between the two, following which Madan allegedly stuffed sand into Vasanthakumar's mouth and left the spot.

Vasanthakumar, who was allegedly heavily intoxicated, suffocated and died, police said. Subsequently, the police arrested Madan on Friday. He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.

Launched on August 11, the drive aims to make Chennai rabies-free by vaccinating stray dogs and treating them for internal and external parasites.

Ambattur recorded the highest number of vaccinations at 21,844, followed by Madhavaram (15,038), Tondiarpet (12,477), Thiruvottiyur (12,313), Anna Nagar (11,895), Royapuram (8,598), Manali (7,200) and Alandur (4,343). The second phase is underway in three more zones. So far, 3,290 stray dogs have been vaccinated in Kodambakkam, 2,609 in Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar and 771 in Perungudi.

The campaign will be extended to Teynampet, Valasaravakkam, Adyar and Sholinganallur over the next 34 working days. Civic authorities have appealed to pet owners, animal welfare activists and the public to cooperate with field teams to help achieve the goal of a rabies-free Chennai.

The milestone was announced in the presence of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Bengaluru on Saturday. The fund, launched in February 2026 with a corpus of Rs 1,000 crore, including a Rs 400-crore greenshoe option, is targeting a final close by December. It is backed by IIT Madras alumni, family offices, institutions, corporates and banks.

The four startups receiving the investments are Chennai-based Hathor, which is developing semi-cryogenic and cryogenic rocket engines for small and medium satellite launch vehicles; Delhi-based Quanstra, which is developing single-photon detection systems and quantum instrumentation; Triolt Energy, which is developing high-performance lithium-ion battery cells for drones and fast-charging electric mobility; and Carbelim, which is developing bio-integrated carbon capture and air-purification systems using proprietary microalgae technology.

“At IIT Madras, we have built an ecosystem that has nurtured several deep-tech companies who have consistently demonstrated TRL growth,” IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti said, adding that the partnership with Unicorn India Ventures would provide startups with patient capital and strategic growth guidance.

The fund will focus on defence technology, space technology, semiconductors, manufacturing, robotics and automation, AI infrastructure and health technology. Each investment will be screened for global export potential, strategic import substitution and technological advantage.

"Why is it always me? Whatever I do seems to become a controversy. From day one until today, even the simplest things become an issue. If I eat a burger, it's an issue. If I cut my hair, it's an issue. Every personal choice I make seems to be questioned and judged," Priya said.

She said women in public life should not be judged based on their appearance, lifestyle or personal choices. "Women in politics are not characterless or any less deserving of respect. Being a woman in public life does not give anyone the right to judge her," she said.

Priya also questioned the absence of those who claim to champion women's rights. "Sometimes I wonder if it is because I am a woman, or because I belong to a particular community. When it comes to me, I have no idea where the feminists and those who claim to stand up for women disappear, " she said.

In July this year, Priya had filed a complaint with the police against certain social media accounts, alleging that they had been subjecting her to cyberbullying. But no action has been taken on it yet.

"Every woman has her own dignity, self-respect, and right to live her life on her own terms. Beyond the position of Mayor, please remember to respect the woman," Priya said.
