Gujarat CM to join Prez Murmu at 72nd National Film Awards on Sep 22
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 10 (IANS) Gujarat is set to host the 72nd National Film Awards for the first time as the prestigious ceremony moves out of New Delhi and to Gujarat's Ekta Nagar, home to the Statue of Unity, with President Droupadi Murmu scheduled to present the awards on September 22. The development marks a departure from the long-standing tradition of holding the National Film Awards in the national capital. The awards were instituted in 1954 and have predominantly been presented in New Delhi, although the ceremony has been held outside the national capital on rare occasions, including in Chennai in 1971. President Murmu will visit Gujarat for three days from September 21 and will preside over the national award ceremony at the Statue of Unity during her visit. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will also be present at the ceremony, according to state government spokesperson and Minister Jitu Vaghani. Vaghani said the hosting of the National Film Awards at the Statue of Unity is a significant occasion for Gujarat, noting that it was the first time the prestigious ceremony is being organised outside the national capital in the state's history. The ceremony is expected to bring together leading names from the Indian film industry, including actors, directors, producers, technicians and other artists. The awards recognise achievements in Indian cinema across feature films, non-feature films and writing on cinema, covering films released in 2024. The 72nd edition will honour several prominent names and films. 'Article 370' has been named Best Feature Film, while Yami Gautam has been named Best Actress for the film. Mammootty and Kartik Aaryan will share the Best Actor award for their performances in 'Bramayugam' and 'Chandu Champion', respectively. Randeep Hooda has been named Best Debut Director for 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar'. The choice of Ekta Nagar also places the ceremony against the backdrop of the Statue of Unity, the 182-metre monument dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. A film on the Statue of Unity is itself among the works being recognised at this year's awards, with filmmaker Aanand L Rai receiving the Best Direction award in the non-feature category for 'Statue of Unity Ekta Ka Prateek'. President Murmu's Gujarat visit would not be limited to the National Film Awards ceremony and she would also participate in other important programmes in the state, Vaghani said. The Chief Minister was briefed in detail about the arrangements and preparations during a Cabinet meeting. Vaghani added that the state government had initiated the necessary administrative and organisational preparations for the national-level event. Preparations are also underway at the Statue of Unity complex in Ekta Nagar. A specially constructed temporary venue is being prepared to accommodate the President, award recipients and other guests, with nearly 1,000 people expected to attend.

Sano International Cricket Ground: Off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar and seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy have been deemed fit for the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan, beginning on September 13. The duo are set to join the team in the national capital on Thursday. Both Sundar and Reddy became fully fit sometime ago. The duo have cleared their fitness tests and match stimulations at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, a source tracking the developments told IANS on Wednesday. Sundar had missed the recent two-game Test series in Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury picked during the second ODI against England in Cardiff in July. Reddy last featured for India during the home ODI series against Afghanistan in June before aggravating a left quadriceps injury, which led to him missing out on trips to Ireland, England and Sri Lanka. There is no definitive word yet on Jasprit Bumrah joining the team for the three-game series after a knee injury sustained while fielding in the second ODI against England has kept him out of action. Theres also suspense over the participation of seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, who has been recovering from the hamstring injury picked up during the England tour in July. If either of the two dont link up with the national team, India pacer and local lad Prince Yadav shapes as an option for last-minute inclusion into the squad. The three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, also the first-ever bilateral series against the Ibrahim Zadran-led side in the shortest format, serves as the primary preparatory window for the Shreyas Iyer-led squad before they depart for Japan.

Chennai Open: Ajeetesh Sandhu opens two-shot lead
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Ajeetesh Sandhu fired a six-under 66 to open a two-shot lead after the second round of the INR 1 crore Chennai Open 2026, here at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course. The 37-year-old from Chandigarh (65-66), who began the day sharing the lead, made eight birdies against two bogeys to reach 13-under 131 at the halfway stage. Sandhu, a five-time winner on the DP World PGTI and a former Asian Tour champion, moved two strokes clear of overnight co-leader Stepan Danek. The 29-year-old Czech Republic golfer (65-68) made six birdies and two bogeys in a four-under 68 to take sole possession of second place at 11-under 133. Delhis Rashid Khan (66-68), winner of the Telangana Open in Vikarabad two weeks ago, occupied third place at 10-under 134. His four-under 68 included an eagle on the par-five 18th, four birdies and two bogeys. Sandhu played both nines in three-under but particularly enjoyed the front nine, which was his second nine of the day, because it contains some of the courses more demanding holes. The front nine is a little trickier and has a few holes that really demand your attention, Sandhu said. I managed to make birdies on a couple of those holes, so that was enjoyable. Sandhu felt he struck the ball better than during the opening round and found his rhythm earlier. A couple of timely par saves helped him settle before his late setback, a three-putt bogey on the eighth. Overall, it was a pretty solid round, he said. I found my rhythm early and made a couple of important saves, which helped build momentum. After that, it was fairly smooth sailing. The three-putt bogey on the eighth was disappointing, but there are still two rounds to play. This is Sandhus first appearance at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course. His only previous tournament in Chennai came during his first season as a professional. I liked the course as soon as I played it during the Pro-Am, he said. It suits my eye. It is tree-lined and tricky, so Im pleased with how Ive played so far. Sandhu has also enjoyed the local cuisine, turning to idlis and dosas as part of his preparation for the humid conditions. Im a big fan of South Indian food, he said. Ive been having plenty of dosas and idlis, especially at breakfast. Idlis are good fuel for the round, so Ill continue with that. Current Race to DP World India Championship leader Saptak Talwar (67-68) moved up from tied sixth to tied fourth at nine-under 135, alongside Noida golfers Gaurav Pratap Singh (69-66) and Amardeep Malik (67-68). Defending champion N Thangaraja of Sri Lanka followed his opening 69 with a 70 to move into a share of 11th place at five-under 139. The halfway cut fell at even-par 144, with 52 players from the field of 132 advancing to the final two rounds.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Mohan assert East Zone's dominance as lead swells to 584 runs
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan hit fluent half-centuries to consolidate East Zone's absolute command over South Zone, as they extended their lead to a massive 584 runs on day four of the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Kishan, who brought his match tally to a staggering 350 runs, compiled an explosive 80 off 98 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes, before missing out on a second century in the match. His departure, alongside Mohans steady 52 off 85 balls, ensured East Zone closed the day in complete control and virtually sealed the title after consecutive wins in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Earlier in the morning session, South Zone added 94 runs to their overnight total before being bowled out, leaving East Zone with a colossal 372-run first-innings lead. South Zone skipper Tilak Varma kick-started the day with consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. At the other end, CV Milind provided sturdy resistance, driving Mukesh Kumar through the covers as runs flowed freely against the new ball. However, the introduction of spin broke the resistance, ending the 78-run stand when Milind was dismissed by Mohan for 43, triggering a quick tail-end slide. Tripurana Vijay was run out while attempting a tight single, and Mohammad Siraj was trapped lbw by Mukesh Kumar. In a heartbreaking climax to the South Zones first innings, Varma mistimed a return catch to Md Kounain Quraishi and fell on 99, thus missing out on a well-deserved ninth first-class century by a single run. Despite holding a 372-run advantage, East Zone opted not to enforce the follow-on. The decision initially brought little joy to spectators as young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was stumped off Vijay for eight, while Abhimanyu Easwaran edged off Siraj to first slip. Unfazed by the early loss of both openers, Kishan and Mohan steadied the innings with a 126-run stand off 170 balls for the third wicket. Post-tea, Kishan went on an aggressive rampage, brought up his fifty, and then punished Vijay by taking 20 runs off an over with two boundaries and two sixes. Kishan eventually fell to Shreyas Gopal while attempting another big hit, but his innings pushed the lead past 500. Mohan was later trapped lbw by Shaikh Rasheed, and Sudip Gharami was run out. Kumar Kushagra (34 not out) and Quraishi (26 not out) safely negotiated the final overs with an unbroken 52-run stand. Brief scores: East Zone 708 & 212/5 in 51 overs (Ishan Kishan 80, Shikhar Mohan 52; MD Nidheesh 1-14, Mohammed Siraj 1-17) lead South Zone 336 (Tilak Varma 99; Mukesh Kumar 3-62) by 584 runs

TN's Thaai Maman gold ring scheme launch likely to be deferred to Sep 25
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu governments ambitious Thaai Maman gold ring scheme for babies born in government hospitals is likely to be launched on September 25, instead of the previously announced date of September 15. Chief Minister Joseph Vijay announced the scheme on June 23 as part of the governments efforts to encourage more families to choose public hospitals for childbirth. Under the initiative, every eligible newborn will receive a one-gram ring made of 22-carat gold as a symbolic gift from the Thaai Maman, or maternal uncle. Although the formal launch was fixed for September 15, coinciding with the birth anniversary of former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai, beneficiaries will include children born in government hospitals from June 22 onwards. The government has allocated Rs 755.83 crore for implementing the scheme over the next year. Orders have reportedly been placed for 4,41,667 gold rings. Jewellery retailer Joyalukkas secured 70 per cent of the supply contract, while Kalyan Jewellers was awarded the remaining 30 per cent. However, with only a few days remaining before the proposed inauguration, officials are preparing to reschedule the event because of the Chief Ministers official visit to London. Joseph Vijay is expected to leave Chennai for London via Dubai on Thursday on a seven-day visit aimed at attracting business investments to Tamil Nadu. During the trip, he is also reportedly expected to visit Silverstone to watch actor Ajith Kumar participate in a motor race. The Chief Minister is likely to return to Chennai on the night of September 16. He is scheduled to travel the following day to Madurai to attend the consecration ceremony at the Meenakshi Amman Temple. He is also expected to visit Virudhunagar to inaugurate the expansion of the Kamaraj Breakfast Scheme at the school where former Chief Minister K. Kamaraj studied. Given this packed official schedule, the government is unlikely to launch the gold ring programme on September 15. Preparations are reportedly underway to inaugurate the scheme at a government hospital in Usilampatti in Madurai district on September 25. An official announcement confirming the revised date and venue is expected shortly. The scheme is among the governments prominent welfare initiatives targeting maternal and infant healthcare.

'Underprepared Pitches In Japan Might Aid Spin,' Says Chakaravarthy Ahead Of Asian Games Challenge
Korogi Sports Park: Expecting underprepared tracks in Japan, India wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy believes spinners could play a pivotal role in the team's upcoming Asian Games campaign, even as he cautioned that unpredictable weather conditions will ultimately dictate how the pitches behave during the tournament. Chakaravarthy has fully recovered from a Grade 2 left hamstring injury sustained during the T20I series against England, including doing rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. In the Asian Games mens T20 event, India, the gold medal winners in the last edition in Hangzhou, will begin their campaign from the quarter-final stage in Aichi-Nagoya. That's how it has been scheduled, so I don't have any say in that. But definitely every match and every tournament needs preparation, and that we have to do. So it's just like every other tournament we will prepare well and whatever comes our way, we will take it, Chakaravarthy said in an exclusive interaction with IANS, facilitated by ASICS India. Assessing the playing conditions at the Korogi Sports Park ahead of the marquee event, Chakaravarthy, who will also be in action for Indias T20Is against Afghanistan and the historic one-off clash against Japan, noted that adaptability will be key for the bowling unit. What I've seen is that the pitches might be a little bit underprepared. So it might help spin, but I don't know how the weather in Japan will play a role in the way pitches behave. It can have a big impact as well. We are just preparing for facing all kinds of conditions, and let's see how it goes, he added. Reflecting on the year so far, which saw him finish as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps in India's T20 World Cup triumph on home soil, Chakaravarthy termed it as a rollercoaster. Its been lovely. I have no complaints at all. It's been a great journey till now and we won the World Cup this time, so everything is going well. I did have one hiccup with my injury, but I'm back. I feel fitter. I've done a lot of strength training and running. Credit goes to the CoE, where I trained a lot, he said. Chakaravarthy, who also picked up 11 wickets in IPL 2026 while battling through hairline fractures in his left hand and toe, takes pride in his unconventional rise through the ranks. I started cricket very late. I started bowling when I was 26 and I played for India when I was 28 and a half. I'm a very late bloomer. It's been seven to eight years in cricket right now and I would say I'm in the first half of my career. There is a long way to go ahead and it's been an unconventional journey till now and I think it's going to be more like that, he reflected. Speaking on evolving his craft, Chakaravarthy revealed that while he continuously works on adding fresh variations behind the scenes, polishing his existing skill set remains his primary objective. Well, it's a combination of both. Obviously, polishing and mastering the skill is always the primary thing and bringing in other variations is always on the back of my mind. I'm also working on certain new variations. When I will be able to master it is a different question, but it's a mix of both. Asked how he guards his mystery balls from high-tech cameras and tactical analytics, Chakaravarthy stressed that execution under pressure overrides technology. As you mentioned, there are no secrets anymore because there are so many video analysts everywhere, and everything that you do is being recorded. The only thing is the human touch in cricket, where the batter won't know what I'm going to bowl to them. That has to be decided by me and I don't think any AI or video analyst can predict that. So, that's what we have to play with. Rather than plotting long-term milestones in a highly volatile sport, the Chennai-based Chakaravarthy prefers setting incremental targets. I set more short-term goals rather than long-term goals because I don't think I'll be able to plan for five years down the line, but I'll be able to plan what I want to do in the next six months. I'm that sort of a guy, so I focus more on short-term goals. The only thing is the human touch in cricket, where the batter won't know what I'm going to bowl to them. That has to be decided by me and I don't think any AI or video analyst can predict that. So, that's what we have to play with.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Actor Kathir, whose work in director Mari Selvaraj's cult classic 'Pariyaerum Perumal' came in for much appreciation, has now disclosed that that director Mari Selvaraj's next film, 'Manjanathi', had made him think about the fact that love doesn't look or feel the same to everyone in a way that he hadn't thought before. Taking to his Instagram page to pen a lengthy post on the new film, in which he plays the lead, Kathir wrote, Love doesnt look or feel the same to everyone. And #Manjanathi made me think about that in a way I hadnt before. The first narration gave me a completely different perspective on love. I walked out with so many thoughts, and all I wanted to know was how this story would finally turn out. Kathir went on to say that when he read the final version, it made him go silent. When I read the final version, it left me silent. It made me question who we are in this story and how much of ourselves we might see in these characters. It opened up so much to explore, understand and discuss. Admitting that he was both nervous and excited about the new film, Kathir said, Im honestly nervous about where we start this journey, but excited to put my heart into this one. This is nothing like weve done before, and I cant wait to bring this guys world to the screen and make you feel what he feels. He then went on to thank the director for trusting him to bring the character to life on screen. He said, Thank you, mari na, for trusting me with this. And to everyone who kept asking when we would work together again. I truly hope every reunion of ours becomes an important film for all of us.

Tiruchi tops Tamil Nadu in Swachh Vayu clean air survey
Digital Desk | Tiruchi, Sep 9 (IANS) Tiruchi has emerged as Tamil Nadus best-performing city in the Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan 2026, securing 12th place nationally in the category for cities with populations exceeding one million this year. The rankings, released by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, gave Tiruchy 183 points out of 200. The city finished ahead of Chennai and Madurai, Tamil Nadu cities assessed in the same category. Chennai ranked 35th with 147.7 points, while Madurai stood 39th with 132.1 points. At the national level, Lucknow topped the category with 198 points, followed by Indore with 197. Jabalpur secured third place after receiving 195 points. Tiruchis latest position, however, is below the ninth rank it recorded in the previous years assessment. Thoothukudi was also featured in the survey. It secured the 35th position in the category for cities with populations below 300,000, registering a score of 142.2. The Central Pollution Control Board conducted the survey across 131 cities covered by the National Clean Air Programme. The exercise measures the progress made by urban administrations in tackling sources of air pollution and improving air quality. Cities were assessed on several parameters, including reductions in particulate matter, particularly PM10, measures to control road dust, effective waste management and the expansion of air-quality monitoring infrastructure. Public awareness initiatives and the institutional capacity of local authorities to implement clean-air programmes were also taken into account. Officials attributed Tiruchys strong showing to a series of sustained civic interventions. These included better segregation of waste at source, improvements in door-to-door garbage collection and the increased use of mechanised equipment for sweeping roads and reducing accumulated dust. The city administration also strengthened enforcement against open burning of waste, which contributes to harmful emissions and deteriorating neighbourhood air quality. Efforts to expand green spaces and involve residents more closely in environmental programmes provided further support to the citys clean-air campaign. The impact of these measures is reflected in the steady reduction of PM10 levels in Tiruchy. The level fell from 88 in 2017-18 to 53 during 2025-26, indicating substantial improvement over the period. The result places Tiruchy at the forefront of Tamil Nadus urban clean-air efforts. Maintaining the momentum, further lowering particulate pollution and improving its position in future national surveys will now be the citys key challenges.

Hindu Munnani plans Ganesh idol installations at 1.5 lakh locations across Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Hindu Munnani is making extensive arrangements to install and worship Ganesh idols at 1.5 lakh locations across Tamil Nadu as part of the forthcoming Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations, according to senior functionaries of the organisation. The planned installations will cover cities, towns and villages, giving the festival a wide reach across the State. District-level organisers have been instructed to coordinate the celebrations carefully and ensure that both the worship programmes and idol immersion processions are conducted in an orderly manner. Leaders of the organisation said detailed guidance had been issued to local units on managing the immersion processions without causing inconvenience to the public. The instructions are intended to help organisers regulate gatherings, coordinate the movement of processions and ensure that regular traffic and public activity face minimal disruption during the festivities. Environmental protection will also be a major consideration in this years celebrations. Hindu Munnani has asked its organisers to avoid idols made with chemicals or other materials that could pollute waterbodies. Steps are being taken to encourage the installation and worship of idols manufactured entirely from natural and environmentally-safe materials. Chennai is expected to witness celebrations on a particularly large scale, with Ganesh idols proposed to be installed at 5,501 locations across the city. Preparations for making giant idols are progressing rapidly at Ernavur in north Chennai, where artisans and organisers are working ahead of the festival. Among the prominent areas in the city where idols will be installed under the organisations supervision are Valluvar Kottam, Triplicane, north Chennai and Kottivakkam. These locations are expected to serve as important centres of worship and related festival activities. The organisation has also begun a special 10-day religious observance ahead of Vinayaka Chaturthi. Functionaries said the period would be used to prepare devotees and volunteers for the celebrations while finalising arrangements at the local and district levels. Organisers are expected to work with the authorities while planning installations and immersion routes. The focus, Hindu Munnani leaders said, would remain on celebrating the festival with devotion, public cooperation and environmental responsibility. Preparations will continue across Tamil Nadu as local units identify venues and complete arrangements for worship and immersion ceremonies. Volunteers will also be deployed at major venues to assist devotees and support the smooth conduct of public events statewide.

TN CM Vijay to chair crucial TVK alliance meeting in Chennai today; Left parties to skip
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) will hold the second round of consultations with parties supporting its government on Wednesday, as efforts gather pace to formally establish a new political alliance under the partys leadership. The meeting will be chaired by Chief Minister and TVK President Vijay at the party headquarters in Panaiyur, near Chennai, at 4 p.m. Representatives of the Congress, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) are expected to attend. Senior TVK functionaries and ministers Anand, Aadhav Arjuna and Nirmal Kumar had invited the participating parties to the consultations. The Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which have extended support to the government from outside, have also been invited. However, both parties are expected to stay away from the meeting because they are not formal constituents of the proposed coalition. TVK initiated the process of building the new alliance with a preliminary consultation on July 1 at a hotel in Kovalam, Chennai. The Congress, VCK, MDMK and IUML took part in that meeting and discussed the broad framework for political coordination. The two Left parties did not attend that round either, citing their position as parties offering only external support. Wednesdays meeting is expected to move the process beyond preliminary discussions and give the proposed coalition a formal identity. Leaders are likely to finalise a name for the alliance and consider an organisational arrangement intended to coordinate its political and administrative activities. Chief Minister Vijay is expected to be chosen as the leader of the alliance. The participating parties are also likely to discuss the creation of several posts, including those of coordinator and deputy coordinator, and identify leaders for the positions. The consultations are viewed as an important step towards bringing the parties supporting the TVK government onto a common political platform. While the Congress, VCK, MDMK and IUML are likely to become formal partners, the stand adopted by the CPI and CPI(M) indicates that the Left parties may continue to maintain a degree of organisational independence while supporting the government from outside. A formal announcement on the alliances name, leadership structure and office-bearers is expected after the meeting. The outcome could shape future coordination among the parties inside and outside the government.

US suspends Cognizant green card filings
Digital Desk | Washington, Sep 9 (IANS) The US Department of Labour has suspended permanent labour certification filings by technology services giant Cognizant as federal authorities investigate alleged fraud and possible harm to American workers. It impacts the companys filings under the Permanent Labour Certification programme, commonly known as PERM, which is a key step for employers seeking employment-based green cards for foreign workers. Cognizants PERM filings are suspended, Labour Department Inspector General Anthony DEsposito said in a social media post. Threats to American workers will NOT be tolerated. Alongside @WHFraudTF, were following facts, fraud and finances. Handcuffs await, he said. DEsposito said his office was working with Labour Department officials and the White House anti-fraud task force. His post did not disclose the specific allegations against Cognizant, the number of applications affected or how long the suspension would remain in force. The inspector general separately announced that PERM filings by Cloudera had also been suspended. One more. @cloudera: PERM filings SUSPENDED, he said. The material released by the inspector general did not identify any criminal charges against either company. It also did not include a response from Cognizant or Cloudera. The action came a day after Cognizant announced plans to expand its American workforce. The company said it planned to hire 1,500 US college graduates and increase its Frontier Certified Engineer and Frontier Business Operator workforce to 15,000 people. We are hiring American graduates, standing up new American job categories for the AI era, and putting Cognizants capital and leadership behind a national coalition built to make sure this transition works for workers, Cognizant Chief Executive Officer Ravi Kumar S said. We believe AI will create significantly more jobs than it displaces and shift greater value, wages and accountability to the frontlines of Americas workforce, Kumar said. Cognizant also said it had joined RAISE US, a bipartisan coalition focused on helping American workers move into the artificial intelligence economy. The companys Synapse programme has trained more than one million people and now aims to reach two million by 2030. Under the PERM programme, the Labour Department must certify that qualified US workers are not available for a position and that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed American workers. PERM certification is associated with permanent employment and employment-based green cards. It is separate from the H-1B programme, which permits eligible US employers to hire foreign professionals temporarily for speciality occupations. Suspension of PERM filings does not, by itself, establish that a companys H-1B petitions have also been suspended. Cognizant is a US-based multinational company. It is headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey, and listed on Nasdaq under the ticker CTSH. However, Cognizant was founded in Chennai, India, in 1994 and retains a major workforce and operational presence there.
