CM Vijay salutes police personnel on Tamil Nadu Police Day
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Sunday extended greetings to police personnel on state Police Day, praising their courage, sacrifice and commitment to maintaining peace, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law across the state. In a message posted on social media, Vijay said the observance commemorated the enactment of the Madras District Police Act in 1859, a landmark measure that paved the way for the establishment of a modern and organised police force in the region. The Chief Minister said police personnel perform an indispensable public service by preventing crime and maintaining law and order. Their responsibilities, he noted, extend well beyond routine policing, particularly when communities face emergencies, hazardous situations or natural disasters. Police officers repeatedly place themselves at risk to protect the lives, property and rights of the people, Vijay said. Their bravery and sacrifices while serving on the ground deserve enduring recognition and appreciation from society, he added. Conveying his heartfelt wishes to all members of the force, the Chief Minister said their selfless work was essential for ensuring social peace and firmly establishing the rule of law. He acknowledged that police personnel often discharge demanding duties under difficult conditions and carry substantial professional responsibilities. Vijay said his government would give priority to measures aimed at reducing the workload faced by police personnel. It would also seek to improve their efficiency by equipping the force with modern technological facilities, enabling officers to respond more effectively to changing policing requirements and public safety challenges. The government would simultaneously ensure that necessary welfare programmes were available to police personnel and their families, he said. The statement placed emphasis on both professional modernisation and the personal well-being of those serving in the department. The Police Day message presented these commitments as part of the administrations broader responsibility to support the force while strengthening law enforcement. Better technology, manageable workloads and dependable family welfare measures are expected to help personnel perform their duties with greater effectiveness and confidence. Vijay concluded by saluting police personnel serving throughout Tamil Nadu and recognising their role in safeguarding communities during ordinary times as well as crises. He thanked officers for their steadfast public service. Their continuing service, he said, remained central to public order, citizens security, and the protection of fundamental rights.

Rains forecast rains in 12 districts of Tamil Nadu today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Widespread rain has brought relief from oppressive heat across several parts of Tamil Nadu, while the Regional Meteorological Centre forecast moderate showers in 12 districts on Sunday. Several districts received rain on Saturday after a spell of hot and largely dry weather. In Sivaganga, blazing sunshine during the day gave way to showers at night, leaving water accumulated on some roads. Heavy rain was reported in Kalappur, Chathurvedimangalam, Piranmalai and Surakudi near Singampunari. Residents of Sattur and nearby Chinnapalli, Mettamalai, Chinnakamampatti and Irukkankudi in Virudhunagar district welcomed the rainfall, which arrived after several months. Moderate rain was also reported in parts of the Coimbatore metropolitan area, producing cooler conditions. Perambalur town and several surrounding areas, including Arumadal, Kavulpalayam, Eraiyur, Perali and Thuraimangalam, experienced showers that brought down temperatures. In and around Ulundurpet in Kallakurichi district, hot winds prevailed during the day before evening rain provided much-needed respite. Tirunelveli witnessed a sudden sunshower while bright sunshine continued. Moderate rainfall in Andipatti, Chakkampatti, and Theppampatti in Theni district cheered farmers. Strong winds and heavy rain lashed Thuvarankurichi near Manapparai in Tiruchi district for the second consecutive day. Heavy showers also fell over parts of Tiruvarur district, including Sannanallur, Poonthottam, Peralam, Thirukkottaram and Andipandal. Farmers engaged in paddy cultivation said the rain was beneficial to their fields. Rainfall was recorded in Mayiladuthurai town, Kuthalam, Mangainallur and Komal. Although it eased the heat, the showers caused concern among farmers waiting with harvested paddy bags at procurement centres. Moderate rain also occurred in Thanjavur, Poondi, Ammapettai, Saliyamangalam, Surakkottai and Kattur. Across the affected districts, the change in weather was most noticeable after sunset, when clouds gathered following intense daytime heat. The rain offered comfort to residents and helped standing crops in several farming belts. However, cultivators who had already completed harvesting remained vulnerable because paddy stored in the open could be damaged. The Met Department said moderate rain was likely in the Western Ghats districts of the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Theni, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, Virudhunagar and Kanniyakumari. Madurai and Sivakasi were also expected to receive showers. Chennai and its suburbs may experience moderate rain during the evening or night. However, interior Tamil Nadu is likely to remain dry for the next four days, with maximum temperatures rising up to four degrees Celsius above normal in some places.

Kallanai set to release Cauvery water for Delta irrigation today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Water released from the Mettur Dam has reached the historic Kallanai in Tiruchi district, paving the way for its discharge into the Cauvery delta irrigation network on Sunday morning. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the Mettur dam on September 1 to supply water to the Cauvery-irrigated regions. The initial release of 5,000 cubic feet per second was subsequently increased to 7,000 cusecs as officials monitored inflow and requirements of farmers in the delta districts. The released water crossed the Mukkombu regulator in Tiruchi district before reaching Kallanai on Saturday morning. However, because the volume arriving at the barrage remained relatively low, the structure had not filled completely by evening. Water had accumulated near the sluice gates leading to the Cauvery, Vennar and Kollidam rivers. Officials said water would be released from Kallanai on Sunday for delta irrigation. The discharge is expected to benefit agricultural areas served by the network of rivers and channels branching from the ancient barrage, a crucial distribution point in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery system. Six ministers -- Anand, Vinoth, Ramesh, Shahjahan, Mohamad Parvez and Rajkumar -- are scheduled to attend the opening ceremony. MLA Vijay Saravanan, Thanjavur District Collector Revathi, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Jayakumari and Monitoring Engineer Dileepan will also participate, along with Members of Parliament and other legislators. The ceremony will be held in a festive atmosphere. Ministers and senior guests will be escorted from the palace area to the barrage with drums and traditional percussion instruments as part of the customary Kallanai celebrations. Special prayers have also been conducted at the Anjaneyar temple on the banks of the Kollidam and at the Vinayakar and Karuppannasamy temples ahead of the release. According to figures available on Saturday evening, the water level in the Mettur reservoir stood at 92.25 feet. The dam was receiving an inflow of 8,075 cusecs, while 7,000 cusecs were being discharged. Farmers across the delta will closely watch the flow over the coming days, as the timely movement and regulated distribution of Cauvery water are critical for standing crops and seasonal cultivation in Thanjavur and neighbouring delta districts. Water Resources Department officials are expected to adjust releases in accordance with reservoir inflows, field requirements and conditions across the canal system.

Demand surges for TN Assembly visitor passes ahead of CM Vijays reply in House
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Visitor passes for Monday's Tamil Nadu Assembly proceedings are in heavy demand, as students and members of the public seek to watch Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay respond to the debate on demands for grants for the Home Department. Online reservations for school and college visitors were almost full by Saturday evening, reflecting heightened interest in CM Vijay's scheduled reply on September 7. Assembly officials said the 11 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. viewing slot had been completely booked, while only a few seats remained for the 10.30 a.m. to 11 a.m. slot as of 7.30 p.m. on Saturday. Officials attributed the rush primarily to the Chief Minister's presence in the House and the significance of the Home Department debate. The department covers crucial areas including policing, law and order, public safety and internal security, making the government's response one of the closely watched moments of the session. Students wishing to attend the proceedings must register through the dedicated facility available on the Assembly's official website. The arrangement allows educational institutions and individual students to reserve seats in advance, subject to availability and entry regulations. Visitors can follow the proceedings from two types of seating facilities inside the Assembly hall. Eight box-style galleries provide five seats each, while benches placed on both sides of the hall can collectively accommodate about 100 to 150 people at a time. An Assembly official said that public attendance had risen sharply since the TVK-led government assumed office. The number of visitors increases further whenever Vijay attends the session, as many people are keen to see the Chief Minister in person and observe the functioning of the legislature. According to the official, between 2,000 and 3,000 people now watch the Assembly proceedings each day. The figure includes visitors attending through different viewing slots during the day, rather than the number accommodated inside the galleries at any single time. The packed reservations also point to growing curiosity among young people about legislative debates and the new government's performance inside the House so far. The exceptional demand for Monday's passes underlines the public attention surrounding Vijay's administration and its handling of the Home portfolio. With the most sought-after slot already filled and remaining seats disappearing quickly, officials expect the galleries to remain crowded when the Chief Minister delivers his reply.

Chennai, Sep 5 (IANS) The makers of director Shahad's eagerly awaited Malayalam cop drama, 'Pradhama Dhrishtya Kuttakkar', featuring actress Parvathy Thiruvothu in the lead, have now disclosed the character that actor Sidharth Bharathan plays in the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs. Releasing the first look poster of the actor as Dasan in the film, the makers of the film wrote,Meet #Officer No 4 Sidharth Bharathan as Dasan in Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar. In cinemas September 11. Already, the makers have revealed that actor Azees Nedumangad plays a character called Xavier in the film while actress Unnimaya Prasad plays Divya Abhilash in the investigative police crime drama. Excitement about the film has shot up among fans and film buffs after the makers released a teaser recently. The teaser starts with an identification number of a pistol being read out by a police officer. It is followed by a chase sequence, after which anxious looking cops appear on screen. Parvathy is heard saying, I'll never go anywhere, leaving her all alone. We then hear a male police officer saying, Even the deepest crime will eventually come to light. For that one day, I'll be waiting. We then see Parvathy saying, He won't rest until this ends. The teaser gives the impression that the story revolves around two women cops in junior positions being targetted by a senior officer after an unfortunate development. It also leads one to think that this story will be about a woman's decision to stand by her colleague who is undergoing a harrowing time. It may be recalled that the makers had released a motion poster some days ago. The first look motion poster showed four cops --two male and two female-- seated next to each other, with an anxious and worried look on their faces. Parvathy was seen as one of the four cops. Sources in the industry claim that Parvathy plays the role of a woman, who gets a posting in the police department after the demise of her husband who was a cop. Apart from Parvathy, the film will also feature actors Mathew Thomas, Unnimaya Prasad, Vijaya Raghavan, Sidharth Bharathan and Azees Nedumangad in pivotal roles. Directed by Shahad, best known for having directed the family drama 'Prakashan Parakkatte', the film's story has been written by P S Subramanian and Vijesh Thottingal. Sources say the shooting for the film had taken place at a number of locations including Kottayam, Changanassery, and Kuttanad. The film boasts of an equally impressive technical team. Produced by Arjun Selva, the film has music by Mujeeb Majeed and cinematography by Ruby Varghese Raj. Editing for the film has been handled by Chaman Chakko. Costumes in the film have been designed by Sameera Saneesh while the stunts have been choreographed by Action Sandhosh, Kalai Kingson and Vicky Master. Sound design for the film is by Jayadevan Chakkadath and production design is by Makesh Mohanan.

Set against the backdrop of a leading software company in London, the film features Shriya as a senior executive and Vemal as an employee working under her. Their contrasting personalities lead to a series of clashes involving love, ego, humour and unexpected twists, forming the heart of the story. Adding to the fun will be actor Sathyan, who gets hilariously caught between Vemal and Shriya during their constant confrontations. The trios combination is expected to be one of the films biggest comedy highlights. Apart from Shriya Saran, Vemal and Sathyan, the film will also feature Prabhu, K. R. Vijaya, Punnagai Poo Gheetha, Rekha, Dev Gill, Uma Padmanabhan, Mahanadi Shankar and Crane Manohar in prominent roles. The film boasts of a sound technical team as well.

MA Chidambaram Stadium: South Zone captain Tilak Varma is feeling eally special to be at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for the Duleep Trophy final against East Zone as he looks to guide his team to the title. Tilak heaped praise on the crowd at Chepauk, highlighting the good memories at the venue. We have got great memories here, and the ground has been very historic. When you come to Chennai, the first thing that always comes to mind is Mahibhai. And at the same time, I have got very good memories here, Tilak said in a video posted by BCCI Domestic. The Chennai crowd, they really support me well. Whether I was playing for Mumbai Indians or for India, the crowd has shown me great love. So that is a good sign for me, he added. Tilak can look back at the Chepauk with good memories. It was this very ground where he scored a blistering 16-ball 44 in the T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight clash against Zimbabwe, which rejuvenated his campaign. And I have got good memories here in the World Cup against Zimbabwe. I think I would say that is my comeback match. From there, I was feeling slightly low in the first two games. But from here, when I charged up against Zimbabwe, I was on a different level in my batting and in my confidence as well. In one India match, my jersey number is 72, and I have scored 72 here, and I have won the game. It was against England, he added. He highlighted that playing the Duleep Trophy final in front of an expected strong crowd would be really special, as the teams played their previous match without the fans at BCCI CoE ground in Bengaluru. So I have got a few memories here. It always feels special to me when I am in Chepauk. It is really special playing in the Delhi Trophy final. We have missed playing in front of the crowd in the last game. But again, now playing finals in Chepauk with the two, I am expecting that there will be a lot of a crowd. So it will be really special because I always wait for that crowd when I come to Chennai. I love that crowd. They give that love to me as well. I am really waiting for that, he concluded. We have missed playing in front of the crowd in the last game. But again, now playing finals in Chepauk with the two, I am expecting that there will be a lot of a crowd. So it will be really special because I always wait for that crowd when I come to Chennai.
