Quack runs clinic in Thoraipakkam for 10 years, held
CHENNAI: A 38-year-old man, who studied only up to class 12, was arrested in Thoraipakkam on the outskirts of Chennai for posing as a doctor and providing medical treatment. The suspect, Vijayakumar, was running a clinic under the name Vijay Clinic and Home Visit Service at Okkiyam Thoraipakkam. The arrest followed a surprise inspection by a medical team led by Meenakshi Sundari, joint director of the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services, after several complaints were received by the health department. During the inspection, the officials found Vijayakumar had neither studied medicine nor registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, but had been treating patients for nearly a decade. The police also seized a forged MBBS certificate that Vijayakumar showed the officials claiming that he had studied medicine in West Bengal. Based on a complaint lodged by the health officials, the Kannagi Nagar police registered a case and arrested him.
Nerkundram road plan afoot to decongest western corridor
CHENNAI: The State Highways department is planning to revive a long-pending plan for a new road link at Nerkundram, aimed at easing chronic congestion between the Inner Ring Road (IRR) and Poonamallee High Road along the citys western corridor. Officials say the proposal now favours a lower-impact road alignment that runs largely along existing metro rail land, avoiding dense residential neighbourhoods and costly acquisitions. Two alignment options were examined to connect the IRR with the Poonamallee High Road via Kaliamman Koil Street and Nerkundram Road. One option followed an existing road abutting land owned by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL); the other cutting through Nerkundram Main Road and interior streets such as Reddy Street and Dayasadan Street. After assessing social impact and the number of structures that would need to be acquired, officials have opted for the CMRL-boundary alignment. The alternative would have required extensive demolition in built-up areas, sharply escalating costs and likely triggering public opposition, sources said. Under the plan being taken forward, two new links are proposed: one connecting Nerkundram Road to CMRL Road, and another linking CMRL Road to Poonamallee High Road with a straight geometry to reduce sharp curves and improve traffic flow. Additional land will be required near the Poonamallee High Road merge, while acquisition along the metro boundary would proceed in line with CMRLs earlier notifications. The proposal revives a scheme first conceived in 2013 to build an 80-foot-wide link between Poonamallee High Road (NH-4) and the A Road of the Koyambedu Wholesale Market Complex. A government order had granted administrative sanction for land acquisition costing Rs 34 crore for extending the A Road, with a 24-metre-wide link road proposed to relieve congestion around the market. Subsequently, a proposal to acquire 5.46 hectares in Nerkundram village was sent to the government through the Tiruvallur district collector to create a direct connection to Poonamallee High Road. The total land acquisition bill was estimated at about Rs 165 crore.
Two college students die as govt bus rams bike waiting at signal near Chengalpattu
CHENNAI: Two college students died on the spot and another sustained serious injuries after a state government bus rammed the bike they were riding from behind at the Mahindra City signal near Chengalpattu on Wednesday evening. The police said the bike was waiting at the red signal when government bus heading towards Madhavaram from Villupuram crashed into it. The deceased have been identified as Lokesh (20) of Madurantakam and Sahith Saran (20), both students of a private university at Potheri. Another student who sustained severe injuries is undergoing treatment at a private hospital. The police registered a case and sent the bodies to the Chengalpattu Government Hospital for postmortem. Meanwhile at Kancheepuram, a woman was killed late on Wednesday night when a government bus collided with a car on the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway near Vellaigate in Kancheepuram. The car, driven by Praveen from Arakkonam in Ranipet district, hit a tanker lorry that cut across the road, following which a speeding Chennai-Dharmapuri government bus rammed into it, crushing it between the bus and the lorry. In the accident, Praveen escaped with injuries, but his wife Pinky was trapped and critically injured. Fire and rescue personnel could pull out her body from the mangled remains of the car only after 30 minutes. She died enroute to the Kancheepuram district government headquarters hospital. The police seized the tanker and the bus, cleared the wreckage with a crane. The traffic along the road was hit for almost half an hour.

Phone left in SUV helps cop nab car-lifters in hours
CHENNAI: A phone accidentally left behind in a luxury car turned out to be the undoing of two vehicle lifters, helping the police track and recover the stolen car within hours on Wednesday. The car, belonging to a state-level Congress functionary, was intercepted near Puzhal following a high-speed chase. According to police, Melvin (36), a resident of Vyasarpadi and state secretary of the Congress partys human rights division, had stopped his car at a petrol bunk on Melpatti Ponnappan Street to refuel. When Melvin stepped out to settle the bill, leaving the engine idle and his mobile phone on the seat, two persons jumped into the car and quickly drove the away. Melvin immediately alerted the Vyasarpadi police. A team led by Inspector Rajinikanth utilised the GPS tracking feature on the stolen mobile phone to monitor the cars real-time movement. Finding themselves cornered, the suspects abandoned the vehicle which had a deflated tyre, and tried to flee. Following inquiry, police arrested Surya (25), a bike mechanic from Kodungaiyur, and his associate Bharath (28) of Manali in this connection. The duo has been booked for vehicle theft and remanded in judicial custody.

Traffic police have made special arrangements for smooth flow of vehicles, parking and strict enforcement against drunk driving, speeding and other violations, aided by ANPR and CCTV cameras.
Sabarimala gold theft case: SIT probe extended to TN, Karnataka
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Still clueless over the fate of the gold that was stolen from Sabarimala artefacts, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the gold theft cases have fanned out its probe to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The sleuths visited various locations in Chennai in a bid to collect more evidence against Smart Creations CEO Pankaj Bhandari. Another team of officers conducted another round of search at Roddam Jewellers in Ballari in Karnataka. Roddam Jewellers is owned by Govardhan, who is in judicial custody along with Pankaj after the SIT arrested them for allegedly being part of the subterfuge. The sleuths had earlier recovered about 470g of gold from Roddam, but sources said investigators could not verify whether it was part of the missing gold from Sabarimala artefacts. The Chennai-based probe of the SIT has got another dimension as well. A businessman based abroad had allegedly testified before the SIT about the suspected involvement of international rackets engaged in antique trafficking.

Blending graphite art and 'kutcheri'
While Margazhi remains rooted in tradition, the way it is being experienced is evolving. Across the city, artists are responding to the season with interdisciplinary projects that integrate music, visual art, and performance, reflecting a growing desire to engage with classical forms beyond conventional concert formats. It is within this evolving Margazhi that Rag Rekha, a three-day art exhibition by Carnatic vocalist and artist Jayakrishnan Unni, finds its place. Featuring over 100 hand-drawn pencil portraits of Indian classical musicians and dancers, the exhibition is to be held from December 26 to 28 at CP Arts Centre, Alwarpet, offers a quieter counterpoint to the seasons sonic abundance. Presented by Faber-Castell along with Poorvi, and supported by ACHEVE Foundation (USA), Rag Rekha positions itself as an invitation to immerse rasikas into multidisciplinary art this season. The show is the culmination of Jayakrishnans works that he has been creating over the last five years. For him, the coming together of music and visual art feels natural rather than experimental. Although these are of different facets, ultimately it is from the same person, he says. Everything that we do will have some taste that unites it, although the other things might be quite diverse in nature. Painting, sketching, music and rhythm, inevitably intersect because they stem from the same artistic impulse. The portraits themselves are rendered either in graphite on white paper or white pencil on black. While the medium may appear minimal, the intent is anything but superficial. Each portrait is not just the face. Its about them (the artists) exploring a raga , exploring a line, exploring a swara , he says, adding that he attempts to capture the inner world of performance. Many of these works took shape during the pandemic when Jayakrishnan returned to pencil after years of working with acrylic and oil. Working in pencil gives me a sort of meditative feel, he says. What began as an occasional exercise soon became habitual, especially as he started drawing portraits to mark remembrance days or significant moments in musicians lives. As musicians, we are always grateful to the great masters who have given us so much. They are our heroes, he says. The decision to stage Rag Rekha during Margazhi was deliberate. This is the time when the air in Chennai is filled with music, he notes, adding that the exhibitions resonance is inseparable from the city. During Margazhi, musicians are like superheroes. Nobody is looking at you strangely if youre holding a tambura and walking down the street. Outside Chennai, he feels the works would still be appreciated as portraits, but the deeper musical recognition comes alive here. The gallery space is designed to reflect this confluence. Portraits line the walls, while live Carnatic concerts unfold at the centre. We are trying to bring a confluence of art and music, he says. Its not just about looking at the paintings, its also about feeling the music that is there. Visitors can move and view the works or sit through performances surrounded by faces of musicians who have shaped the art form. Concerts form a key part of the exhibition, with performances by Sooryagayathri, Kalyanapuram Aravind, Sriranjani Santhanagopalan, and Jayakrishnan, with an interaction with dancer Meera Srinivasan on the creative process, on December 27. Ultimately, Jayakrishnan sees Rag Rekha as an offering to rasikas as much as to artistes. Quoting his guru , he says, For a lamp to be seen, there should be eyes. Otherwise, however much light the lamp spreads, there is no use.

Last week I took a fascinating trip through the temples of Salem and Namakkal. I spent my time happily documenting games etched on the floors of temples and monuments while my friends watched, amused. They did have a very pertinent question for me. If I already knew about a game, why did I photograph every instance of its appearance on these floors? The answer is simple. Most traditional games belong to the oral tradition, and there is very little evidence about their presence, popularity, or geographic spread, as they were often drawn on sand with a stick or with chalk on stone floors. These are the only tangible and physical evidence we have. As I have spent a couple of decades documenting them and visiting many temples, I see patterns emerge. This is not unlike the Pensieve in Harry Potter books, where Dumbledore remarks, I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from ones mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at ones leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand when they are in this form. While I do not have a Pensieve, I do examine the photographs at my leisure to notice links. For example, multiple boards of the same game in a single temple could give clues to its popularity. A game that has no local presence could indicate migrant craftsmen. Simple patterns repeated in numerous temples could be clues to forgotten games. The list goes on. Sometimes, games can provide deeper insights. One example of this was at the Tharamangalam temple. While most etchings of games are executed with lines, I saw a very interesting style in the temples of the Hoysala period. Many of the games were executed by a series of cup marks little depressions to indicate the points where game pieces could be placed or moved. As these are usually at the intersection of lines, one could visualise the board. I mentally started associating this style with the Hoysalas. Imagine my surprise when I encountered a game etched with cup marks on one of the platforms of the temple. While I am no history scholar, I was surprised to find this style in Salem and reached out to a historian. What I learned was fascinating. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Tharamangalams epigraphs is the presence of Hoysala dynasty inscriptions. Two records (dated 1254 CE and 1279 CE) cite Posala Mannan Veera Ramanatha Devar referring to Vira Ramanatha, a Hoysala prince-turned-king. These inscriptions provide evidence of the Hoysala empires incursion into the western Tamil country and their patronage of local temples. Vira Ramanatha was a Hoysala ruler who, after 1254 CE, governed the southern part of the kingdom. His father, King Vira Someshwara, split the empire between Ramanatha and his brother Narasimha III. Ramanathas dominion included the Tamil territories conquered by the Hoysalas. Essentially, from the 1250s to 1290s, there was a Hoysala presence in Tamil Nadu, in rivalry and conflict with the Pandya dynasty. Historical records note that Ramanathas inscriptions (1257-1294 CE) are all in Tamil and found across his Tamil territory. The Tharamangalam inscriptions are a perfect illustration of that: even though he was a Kannada monarch, the records here are composed in Tamil, the local tongue, to address the local population and priesthood. The use of the term Posala (Tamil for Hoysala) in the inscription underlines that identity. While it was documented history, one humble etching by a player hundreds of years ago gave us a clue to the history of the region. Such is the power of games.
