Malaysia Airlines flight diverted to Chennai after engine issue, lands safely with 186 onboard
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) Emergency response teams at Chennai airport were activated on Monday after a Malaysia Airlines flight operating from Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah was diverted to the city following a technical issue involving one of its engines. The Boeing aircraft, operating as Malaysia Airlines flight MH156, was carrying 186 people when it made a safe landing at Chennai airport, according to an airport official. A full emergency was declared at the airport following the reported technical problem involving Engine No. 2 of the aircraft. The aircraft was safely brought to the ground, following which the airline's technical teams and other relevant personnel began assessing the aircraft to determine the nature and extent of the problem. Further assessment of the aircraft and the technical issue is being carried out by the airline and relevant technical teams, the airport spokesperson said.

Madras HC seeks report on Rs 4 crore cheating complaint against former Minister Vijayabaskar
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) The Madras High Court on Monday directed the police in Tamil Nadu's Pudukottai to report by September 15 on the progress of a preliminary inquiry into a cheating complaint against former Minister C. Vijayabaskar, who has since joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The case arose from a petition filed by Dhana Vimal, the AIADMK candidate for the Alangudi Assembly constituency, seeking an order directing the police to register a First Information Report. Vimal has accused Vijayabaskar of failing to return Rs 4 crore from money allegedly collected from him before the election. When the petition came up for hearing, Additional Public Prosecutor Arun Anbumani told Justice V. Lakshminarayanan that the Illuppur police had begun a preliminary inquiry. The court was told that Vimal had been summoned to appear on August 28 but had requested time until September 10. Recording the submission, the judge asked the police to file a progress report by September 15. According to the complaint, Vimal approached the AIADMK leadership seeking the party ticket for Alangudi. He alleged that Vijayabaskar, the then TVK's Pudukottai district secretary, telephoned him on November 11, 2025, and asked him to arrange Rs 5 crore as proof that he had the financial capacity to meet campaign expenses. Vimal claimed he was assured that the amount would be returned immediately after his candidature was announced. He subsequently mobilised Rs 4.5 crore from several sources and allegedly handed it to contractor Sothupalai Murugesan at the latter's Pudukottai office on March 11, 2026. After Vimal was named the AIADMK candidate, only Rs 50 lakh was returned, the petition said. Despite repeated demands, the remaining Rs 4 crore was allegedly withheld. Vimal also claimed that another Rs 10 lakh promised in connection with the mortgage of his father's immovable property to a person associated with Vijayabaskar was not paid. The petitioner said he met Vijayabaskar 14 times to seek repayment and the return of documents, without success. He also alleged that Vijayabaskar later adopted an intimidating approach and used his political influence when the money was demanded. The allegations have not yet been established, and the police inquiry remains at a preliminary stage. The High Court has not directed registration of an FIR at this point and will review the police report at the next hearing in the matter.

Tamil Nadu bypolls set for Oct 6 in Madurantakam and Dharapuram
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) The Election Commission has announced bye-elections to the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies on October 6, setting the stage for an electoral test for Tamil Nadu's three-month-old Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government. The two seats are among seven vacancies in the State Assembly. Polls have not been announced for Tiruchi East, Ambasamudram, Viralimalai, Perundurai and Karur because election-related cases concerning the returned candidates remain pending. The restraint on conducting bye-elections in those five constituencies has been extended until September 8. The notification immediately brought the Model Code of Conduct into force in Madurantakam and Dharapuram. According to the Election Commission's schedule, filing of nominations will begin on September 9 and end on September 16. The nomination papers will be scrutinised on September 17, while candidates may withdraw their nominations until September 19. Votes will be counted on October 9. Madurantakam and Dharapuram fell vacant after AIADMK legislators Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabama resigned from their Assembly membership and joined the TVK. Both former legislators are expected to be considered for TVK tickets from their respective constituencies, although the party has not formally announced its candidates. The contests have assumed wider political importance because the ruling TVK is under pressure to demonstrate that its electoral appeal remains intact after taking office. A victory in both seats would strengthen the TVK-led state government's position at a time when differences with some alliance partners have begun to surface. The Communist Party of India has already organised protests against rising prices, while the CPI-M has differed with the state government on issues. The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) is also pressing the state administration to give greater weight to its demands in policy decisions. The Congress, meanwhile, has warned that it could reconsider its participation in the Ministry unless Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is accepted as the alliance's Prime Ministerial candidate. Opposition parties, including the DMK, AIADMK and Bharatiya Janata Party, are preparing campaign strategies aimed at defeating the TVK in the two Assembly constituencies. For the AIADMK, the political contests also carry symbolic importance because both vacancies were caused by the defection of its legislators. Although rules generally require a vacancy to be filled within six months, pending litigation has delayed the process in the other five Assembly seats. The October bypoll verdicts are therefore likely to be read as the first public assessment of the TVK administration since it assumed power.

2,546 new posts created for Singappen Special Task Force: TN CM Vijay
Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) Chief Minister Joseph Vijay on Monday announced that 2,546 new posts had been created for the Singappen Special Task Force, a dedicated police unit established to strengthen the safety of women and children across Tamil Nadu. Replying to the debate on demands for grants for the Police, Fire and Rescue Services departments in the Assembly, CM Vijay said the force had been equipped with 327 four-wheelers, 109 two-wheelers and modern equipment costing Rs 357 crore. The task force has so far registered 268 criminal cases and safely rescued 125 missing women and children, reuniting them with their families. It has also conducted 37,150 awareness programmes and prevented 21 child marriages, he said. CM Vijay said the governments objective was not merely to respond after offences occurred but to prevent crimes and create an environment in which women could live without fear. Protecting women and children remained one of the administrations most important responsibilities, he added. Describing the police as the foundation of peace and development, the Chief Minister said industrial investment and economic progress depended on the maintenance of effective law and order. The police should be an adversary to those who refused to respect the law, he said. On narcotics, CM Vijay said 65 anti-drug squads had been deployed across 37 districts and nine commissionerates. Police had registered 3,263 cases under anti-narcotics laws and arrested 4,350 people. Authorities also seized 4,846 kg of ganja and 116,159 narcotic tablets. He said dismantling drug-trafficking networks and protecting young people from addiction were central priorities, while cautioning that eradicating the entrenched drug problem would require sustained action beyond the governments first 100 days. Addressing corruption, CM Vijay said enforcement agencies had been directed to carry out their statutory duties without hesitation. The government would not compromise in its action against corruption, regardless of the position of those involved. The Chief Minister also promised stronger safeguards against deaths in police custody. Every such death must be investigated transparently, impartially and according to law, with post-mortem examinations, magisterial enquiries and reporting conducted under National Human Rights Commission guidelines. Police personnel found responsible for wrongdoing would receive no institutional protection, he said. CCTV surveillance, medical examinations, technology-based monitoring, professional training and accountability mechanisms would be further strengthened to prevent custodial deaths and preserve public confidence in the police throughout the entire state.

Vijay accuses DMK of corruption, warns against derogatory remarks on women
Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Monday launched a sharp attack on the opposition DMK, accusing the party and several of its senior leaders of involvement in corruption during their tenure in government. Replying to the debate in the Assembly on demands for grants for the Police Department, Vijay said political criticism was legitimate but warned that derogatory comments against women would not be tolerated. The law would act against anyone making obscene or defamatory remarks about women, he said, amid heated exchanges in the House. The Chief Minister also criticised statements allegedly made by DMK functionaries against people who had not voted for the party. Such remarks, he said, demonstrated a lack of respect for the peoples verdict and were among the reasons the party was now occupying the opposition benches. Turning to corruption allegations, Vijay referred to documents and findings that he said were available in official records and the Assembly library. He cited the 1977 Sarkaria Commission report and alleged irregularities in the Veeranam pipeline project. According to him, commissions had been demanded for awarding contracts, while the office of the Chief Minister was allegedly misused to favour a particular company. Vijay also referred to Enforcement Directorate allegations concerning the collection of money in the name of party funds. He claimed that between 7.5 and 10 per cent had been collected as commission in certain transactions. Former minister V. Senthil Balaji had allegedly misused his official position, he said. The Chief Minister further claimed that officials and people linked to the former minister were involved in the alleged transactions. He also named DMK President M.K. Stalin and party leader Udhayanidhi Stalin while referring to the agencys allegations. However, the accusations cited by Vijay remain allegations and have not been established as findings of guilt by a court. Vijay said the records were extensive and would take nearly two days to read in full, prompting him to present only a summary before the House. He challenged the DMK to respond to the charges instead of demanding evidence that, according to him, was already available in public records. Wrapping up, Vijay said he had entered politics neither for office nor power but to serve the people. Invoking the legacies of C.N. Annadurai, M.G. Ramachandran and N.T. Rama Rao, he asserted that public affection would ultimately prevail over political opposition.

Tamil Nadu wind power output rises as July-August generation surges
Chennai, Sep 7 (IANS) Tamil Nadu's wind power generation increased by 3.31 per cent during the first five months of the current financial year, as a sharp recovery in July and August offset a weak start to the wind season. The state generated 10,446 million units of wind energy between April 1 and August 31, compared with 10,112 million units during the corresponding period in 2025, according to data from the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited. Output had remained below last years levels throughout the April-June quarter. Generation declined by 7.8 per cent in April, 27.2 per cent in May, and 22.2 per cent in June. The combined output for these three months was 3,601.4 million units, down about 22.7 per cent from the 4,658.2 million units recorded during the same period a year earlier. The situation changed in July as stronger winds lifted production to 3,401 million units, against 3,045 million units in July 2025. This represented an increase of 11 per cent. The recovery gathered momentum in August, when generation reached 3,444 million units, up almost 43 per cent from 2,408 million units in the corresponding month last year. Wind energy production crossed 100 million units on several days in July and remained robust for much of August. Daily generation touched a record 142.430 million units in August, exceeding the previous high of 123.8 million units registered in August 2025. The new peak underlined the strong contribution of wind power to the states electricity supply during the period. Together, July and August produced 6,845 million units this year, marking a 25.5 per cent rise over the 5,453 million units generated in the same two months of 2025. This late-season surge proved crucial in pushing the overall five-month figure above last years level. Renewable-energy producers have urged the state green energy corporation to introduce a policy that would make it easier to add new wind and solar capacity. They said expansion should not be delayed until a separate policy for battery energy storage systems is finalised. A framework, they added, could help Tamil Nadu build on the improved generation figures and strengthen the contribution of renewable sources to its power network.

IMD forecast rain for TN's western ghats districts in coming days
Salem (Tamil Nadu), Sep 7 (IANS) Tamil Nadu is set to experience contrasting weather conditions over the coming days, with moderate rain forecast in districts along the Western Ghats, rising temperatures across the interior and strong winds over the southern coastal waters. In its latest weather bulletin, the Regional Meteorological Centre said moderate rain was likely in the Western Ghats districts for five days beginning late in the day. Other parts of the State may also receive isolated showers, depending on local weather conditions. At the same time, residents of interior Tamil Nadu have been advised to prepare for hotter weather. Maximum temperatures in some places could remain as much as four degrees Celsius above normal for the next four days. The combination of heat and humidity could cause discomfort, particularly during the afternoon hours. Chennai is expected to have a partly cloudy sky during the day. Light rain may occur in parts of the city and its suburbs during the evening or at night, offering some respite from the prevailing warm conditions. The forecast, however, does not indicate widespread or sustained rainfall for the capital. The weather office has issued a separate warning for fishermen operating off the southern Tamil Nadu coast. Squally winds with speeds reaching 55 km per hour are likely over the Gulf of Mannar, the adjoining southern coastal belt and the Comorin Sea. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into these areas until conditions improve. Following the warning, Fisheries Department officials said permits would not be issued to mechanised boat fishermen in Rameswaram to enter the sea. The restriction will remain in force until further notice as a precaution against rough conditions and potentially dangerous winds. The suspension is expected to keep fishing boats anchored along the Rameswaram coast and may temporarily affect fishing operations and the daily income of crews dependent on deep-sea voyages. Officials are expected to review the situation on the basis of subsequent weather bulletins. People living in coastal areas have also been urged to remain alert to sudden changes in wind conditions. Authorities advised fishermen and boat operators to closely follow official warnings rather than take risks based on short periods of apparently calm weather. The weather department will continue closely monitoring the rain, temperature and wind pattern and issue updates if there is any significant change.
