IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans' Prasidh Krishna Excited About Visiting Home Town For RCB Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Returning to Indian Premier League (IPL) action after a gap of two years, former India pacer Prasidh Krishna has played a key role in Gujarat Titans' 36-run win over Mumbai Indians in their previous match and is excited about Wednesday's clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Another reason for Prasidh Krishna being so excited about the upcoming clash with RCB is that it will take him to the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, his hometown and the ground on which he grew up. It's great to come back home and play in the stadium that you've grown up playing in. It is exciting. The first game in Bangalore as well, so we're looking forward to how it's going to play out, said Prasidh in a pre-match press conference on Tuesday. The team is excited about how the tournament has started. We've done quite a few things well, we are trying to get better at a few things. So yeah, it is going to be exciting, said Prasidh Krishna, who claimed 2-18 in their last match against the Mumbai Indians. Prasidh is returning to IPL action after a long break due to injuries, and playing in front of his family and friends in Bengaluru is extra motivation for the 29-year-old right-arm fast bowler. As much as I try to tell myself that it's just another tournament, just another game, I did feel that I'm coming in after a few years, especially coming in not having played a lot of T20s in the last two years. The pace of the game has changed from 2022 to 2025. So it did take some time, but then that's the game, said Prasidh, who went wicketless in his first match for Gujarat Titans against Punjab Kings on March 25. I think it has to move. It keeps moving forward, and you have to keep up with the game. And not much has changed for me physically. I have thankfully been playing some cricket now, and the body is letting me do what I want to do, said the pacer who has played three Tests, 17 ODIs, and five T20Is and has done decent returns in all three formats. It will be a challenging clash for the Gujarat Titans against RCB, who have so far comprehensively won both their matches, beating Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. The task will be cut out for Prasidh Krishna and his teammate Mohammed Siraj, both of whom have played a lot at the M. Chinnaswamy in the past. With former India pacer Ashish Nehra as head coach, Prasidh Krishna is also picking up some aspects of fast bowling from his coach. Yes, I think that's what I'm trying to get from him about what he thinks about the game. Having played for so long and been so successful, I think it's really important for me to pick up his way. It will be a challenging clash for the Gujarat Titans against RCB, who have so far comprehensively won both their matches, beating Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings.

Madras HC adjourns petitions against ED searches on TASMAC premises to April 8
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Tuesday adjourned the petitions of Tamil Nadu government and its retail liquor business entity, Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) challenging the search and seizures by the Enforcement Directorate at the latters premises to April 8 for final hearing. The Central agency has alleged that the state government is trying to obstruct lawful investigation into money laundering initiated under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. A division bench of Justices SM Subramaniam and K Rajasekar ordered notice to the respondents including the Union Government and ED and adjourned the case for final hearing on April 8 and 9. It directed the respective counsels to complete their pleadings and serving of counter-affidavit and rejoinders by April 7. TN government filed an amended prayer that included a declaration on the role of any government officers would be to assist the ED and the latter has to seek assistance from such officers under section 54 of PMLA. Advocate General (AG) PS Raman told the court that the TASMAC was complainant in the predicate offence but the ED had chosen to search the complainants premises, that too extending to midnight by detaining the officers and employees. The bench countered the AG with a poser, Didnt you (state agencies) conduct searches at midnight? The AG replied, Certainly not at midnight. Activist S Muralidharan and advocate A Mohandoss filed petitions praying for impleading them in the case. The bench said it would decide on this after hearing them. Madras High Court judges recuse from hearing petitions filed by TASMAC against ED raids Counter-affidavit The ED, in its counter-affidavit, stated that it has proceeded on the basis of the multiple FIRs registered by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) over the high level corruption indulged in by officers in the rank of district managers and senior regional managers. Referring to the state and the TASMACs allegation that search warrant copy was not served, the Central agency said there is no statutory or other obligation to provide a copy of the search warrant and not officer was put under force to give acknowledgment of search warrant. The ED said, The allegations of illegal detention, harassment, procedural violations and unauthorised seizures are factually incorrect, misleading and an attempt to obstruct a lawful investigation into serious allegations of money laundering. Stating that the search was conducted by exercising the statutory powers under the PMLA, the ED said that duration of the search cannot render the search illegal and there is no upper limit for duration of the search in the law. Denying violation of the human rights of the officers, the agency said, Fundamental rights of individuals cannot be vicariously sought to be enforced by a company when such individuals have not come forward with any complaints. The object of the writ petition appears to be motivated to create hurdles in a legitimate investigation initiated under the PMLA. It said all the employees were given adequate rest and no staff, particularly women, were not forced to stay. The officers of ED took meticulous efforts for the safety and well-being of the employees of TASMAC (during the search). All women employees were given the option to leave the premises before nightfall, it stated. It also stated that the reasons to believe documentation is an internal, confidential investigative record that cannot be disclosed at this stage of investigation as it would prejudice the ongoing investigation and potentially alert the other suspects.

CBI should look beyond conventional tools of investigation, integrate AI: Union Minister Vaishnaw
NEW DELHI: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Tuesday suggested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to look for collaborations with the academia and industries in the light of the changes being brought about by Artificial Intelligence in economic, social and technological fronts. While delivering the 21st D P Kohli memorial lecture on the 62nd Foundation Day of the CBI, Vaishnaw said things have changed with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the investigative agency should look beyond the conventional tools of investigation.

Dejected over parents divorce plan, two sisters from Chennai attempt suicide; rescued
CHENNAI: A 23-year-old woman and her 20-year-old sister were rescued by three police constables at the Marina Beach late on Sunday night after they allegedly attempted to take their own lives. The sisters, both from Teynampet, decided to take the drastic step as their parents were planning to apply for a divorce, police said. The women were both counseled and later sent home with their parents. According to police, around 11.45 pm, the constables on patrol Kumaresan, Sankar Kumar and Murugan spotted the two women walking close to the water at the beach. As they continued to walk deeper into the ocean, the cops sensed something was amiss and shouted at them to stop. They even called for help as the women did not listen to him, police added. The cops then ran across to them and physically prevented the women from venturing any further into the water. Upon questioning, they were initially evasive, but eventually the women told the constables about their parents divorce, police said. They managed to convince the women to step away from the water and contacted a relative of theirs who rushed to the spot. The relative informed the womens parents, who also arrived. The family was taken to the nearby police station where the parents spoke to their daughters and pacified them, police said. The eldest of the two women is a private company employee, while her sister is a second-year private college student, according to police. Currently their parents are living together, but due to differences, they had initiated the process of applying for a divorce, they added.

Respite for Tamil Nadu as rain likely from April 2 to 4
CHENNAI: After a spell of intense heat, Tamil Nadu may see rains and thunderstorms in the coming days. The Regional Meteorological Centre has forecast light to moderate showers in the state, with thunderstorms and lightning expected in isolated places between April 2 and 4. The shift in weather is attributed to multiple meteorological factors, including a cyclonic circulation over the southwest Bay of Bengal and wind discontinuity over peninsular India. These systems are likely to trigger rain in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, bringing much-needed relief from the scorching temperatures. Over the past week, temperatures soared across the state, with Vellore and Madurai recording 40C, making them the hottest locations in TN this year. However, meteorologists predict a gradual dip in temperatures by 2C-3C as rain activity increases. While interior and western TN are expected to benefit the most from these showers, coastal areas, including Chennai, would see cloudy skies or at best light rain.
Film crews barred from Ooty parks for three months
NILGIRIS: The horticulture department has temporarily banned film shootings at eight parks, including Government Botanical Garden (GBG) and Government Rose Garden (GRG) for the next three months starting from April. The ban will come into force from today. The decision was taken as hundreds and thousands of tourist will visit these parks to enjoy their holidays. Due to its greenery, mountain views, the parks owned by the horticulture department remained the most sought after destinations for Kollywood, Bollywood and Mollywood film industries. The horticulture department felt that allowing film shoots would be a disturbance to the tourists during the summer. An official from the horticulture department said, We were allowing the film crews only after getting proper permission from our horticulture department director in Chennai, and they had to pay a minimum of Rs 25,000 to a maximum of Rs 1 lakh for a day of shooting. However, we have temporarily banned all the film shootings in the GBG in Ooty and Sims Park in Coonoor as the number of tourists visiting these places would be more than usual since colleges and schools have shut down for summer vacations. He added, We have also planned to conduct summer festivals starting from the vegetable show on May 3 at Nehru Park in Kotagiri and conclude with the plantation crops show on May 30 to June 1 at Katteri Park. Spices, flower, rose and fruit shows have also been planned. In this regard, the workers were also actively engaged in trimming and planting the saplings. We want to carry out the work peacefully and successfully conduct the festival. So we are going to fully concentrate only on these festivals.

Consider citizenship plea of Sri Lankan refugees daughter: Madras HC
CHENNAI: Noting that the case of a 37-year-old woman, born in India to Sri Lankan refugee parents and married to an Indian citizen, presents a unique circumstance and holding that she cannot be considered an illegal immigrant, the Madras High Court has ordered the union government to consider her application for Indian citizenship on its own merits in accordance with the law, without deporting her from India. The court also directed the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to treat her application as a special case to exempt her from applying through online portal, as the portal does not accept applications filed by persons with Sri Lankan background. The Indian citizenship and passport granted to the woman (S Ramya), an employee of a private firm in Coimbatore, were revoked earlier by authorities, who insisted that she should go back to Sri Lanka and re-enter India legally with a valid visa before submitting an application. The revocation came after authorities found her case to be in contravention of the provisions of the Citizenship Act. The authorities found that she was born on December 24, 1987, while the Citizenship Act, as per a 1986 amendment, states that any person born in the country after July 1, 1987, cannot claim citizenship solely by birth if both the parents are not Indian nationals. The order was passed by Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy recently while disposing of a petition filed by Ramya, who got married to D Purushothaman, an Indian citizen, in 2014. The couple has a nine-year-old child, studying in a private school in Coimbatore. Petitioner not an illegal immigrant as she was born in India: Madras HC Ramya approached the court after Union government authorities concerned had initiated action to revoke her citizenship. According to the petitioner, her grandfather hailed from Pudukkottai district in Tamil Nadu and later moved to Sri Lanka. After the ethnic violence in the island nation intensified in 1983, Ramyas parents Saravanamuthu and Tamilselvi returned to India by air and stayed in Coimbatore, where she was born on December 24, 1987. As she was born in India, she was given a birth certificate by the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation and was treated as an Indian citizen. Ramya studied at a local school and later completed her graduation from a college in the district. She was issued a passport and other identity documents, including voter ID, by the respective authorities. When her parents applied for extension of their registration to continue their stay in India, the officials, during scrutiny, found that Ramya was born after July 1, 1987, and took action to revoke her citizenship. The authorities noticed that according to the Citizenship Act, any person born in India after July 1, 1987, cannot claim Indian citizenship solely by virtue of birth; at least one of the parents must be a citizen of India at the time of birth. Therefore, suddenly, realising the mistake, the authorities have begun taking action, the judge noted in the order. When she was ordered to surrender her passport, Ramya approached the authorities in the MHA and the Ministry of External Affairs with an application on February 10, 2025, for citizenship, as the online portal was not accepting her application due to the peculiar facts involved in her case. Ramya said that she should be given the citizenship under Section 5 (1) (c) of the Citizenship Act, as she was married to an Indian citizen and has lived for seven years after marriage in the country. But it was rejected by the authorities, who said they would consider her application on these grounds only if she went to Sri Lanka and came back as a legal entrant with a valid Indian visa. The judge held that she cannot be considered an illegal immigrant because she was born in India. Therefore, given the unique facts and circumstances of the case, the sole requirement of her return to Sri Lanka and reentry into India as a legal migrant need not be considered, but other parameters can be taken into account.
After two years, temple in Tamil Nadu's Melpathi all set to reopen
CHENNAI/VILLUPURAM: Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR & CE) minister P K Sekarbabu on Monday said the Shri Dharmaraja Draupadi Amman temple in Melpathi in Villupuram district will be reopened for public worship in a week. The temple has remained shut for public worship for nearly two years since June 2023, after Dalits were denied entry by caste Hindus. Last month, the Madras High Court ordered the temple be reopened for public worship. Addressing reporters in Chennai after inspecting various ongoing project works, including the renovation of Victoria Public Hall, the minister said the government is taking all measures to reopen on temple and poojas are being performed there. The situation is ripe for the reopening because of the efforts being made by the government, he said. Sekarbabu was responding to a question about NTK leader Seemans recent announcement of staging a temple entry protest in this regard. The minister, without mentioning the leader, claimed that some people were doing politics with the intention of taking credit just when the governments efforts are about to bear fruit. Earlier, Seeman had accused the government of not taking adequate action despite the Madras High Courts order. Min: Govt has reopened 40 temples across TN closed for various issues Stating that the people are aware of Chief Minister M K Stalins efforts towards building unity, HR&CE minister P K Sekarbabu said the people would not buy into such fake protest announcements. He said the incumbent government has reopened around 40 temples across the state that had remained closed due to various issues. Similarly, the Draupadi Amman temple will also be opened for devotees to offer worship. On April 7, 2023, members of the Vanniyar community barred the Dalits in the village entry to the temple and did not allow them to offer worship. After seven rounds of peace talks between the two communities failed, the revenue divisional officer of Villupuram on June 7, 2023, sealed the temple. In March 2024, the HC passed interim orders, directing the authorities to keep the temple open only for the priest to enter and perform poojas. Last month, the court ordered the temple to be reopened for public worship and asked authorities to take action if anyone caused law and order problems. Revenue officials in the district said efforts, including the installation of CCTV cameras, are under way, so that the temple can be reopened soon.

TN notifies minimum standards for de-addiction, rehabilitation centres
CHENNAI: The state government earlier in March notified the Tamil Nadu State Mental Healthcare Minimum Standards for De-addiction Centres Regulations 2025, with elaborate guidelines for the functioning of the centres. The regulations framed under the Mental Health Care Act have classified the centres into two categories as Comprehensive De-addiction Centres (CDC) and Rehabilitation Centres (RC) for persons with substance abuse disorders (SUD) based on the services they offered.

Admission to the centre should be done by a medical practitioner. The regulations broadly classifies de-addiction services as detoxification treatment, which primarily referred to medical intervention needed for managing a person through acute withdrawal and rehabilitation treatment, which could involve a constellation therapeutic services to promote and sustain recovery. While CDCs can provide detoxification and rehabilitation care, the RCs will mainly offer psychosocial intervention after detoxification. Minimum standards have been defined for both the CDCs and RDCs. Human resources requirement for both can mildly vary while the presence of a psychiatrist and a qualified doctor is required in both. In CDCs, one staff nurse should be available for every 30 beds while an attendant should be there for every 20 beds. Psychologists and social workers should be available for every 50 beds in both types of centres. The regulations lay stress on respecting human dignity and rights, prohibiting violence of any kind. Moreover, physical restraint should be used only to prevent harm to oneself or others after recommendation from the psychiatrist. Common requirements for both CDCs and RCs include separate accommodation for female and male patients, separate cots, nursing station, safekeeping of patient records etc, adequate number of bathrooms and toilets for every 10 patients and facilities for recreation The facilities also should have CCTV installed at entrance, exit, in shared areas, dining hall and common wards.
TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai announces statewide black flag protest during PM Modi visit
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K Selvaperunthagai on Monday announced a statewide black flag protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Tamil Nadu on April 6. In a release, Selvaperunthagai accused the union government of repeatedly undermining the states interests and discriminating against Tamil Nadu and its people through various policies. He cited several issues such as the imposition of Hindi, three-language policy, denial of disaster relief funds for cyclone and flood-affected districts, withholding of school education funds, and the imposition of NEET. Selvaperunthagai alleged that the centre has shown bias in fund allocation for state schemes, delayed GST revenue payments, and put undue pressure on elected governments through governors in non-BJP-ruled states.

All in a days work: making dead flowers bloom again, consistently
Sustainability is not just for the professionals in the environment space or for the diehard green enthusiasts. It is for everyone to pursue in their daily walk. Zero Waste Day was observed recently on March 30, and here are two residents of Chennai who have woven green thinking into their workaday lives, balancing a busy work schedule with composting of floral waste
Most families, today, cannot imagine living without their pets, they are the most cherished member of the family. Though pets bring us immense happiness and add a sense of tranquillity to our days, you dont want them to take over your interiors while also wanting them to live their best life. Designing a pet-friendly yet stylish and aesthetic home is tricky, but there is nothing impossible with Design Story! Here are afew areas you need to focus on to get this space right! Free-flowing layout All pets have their natural movements, and a free-flowing layout ensures they can enjoy the space just as much. Furniture strategically placed and a clutter-free space ensure unrestricted movement, allowing their movement to be comfortable. This is crucial for them to play and relax without difficulties. Private space Pets, like any other member of the family, enjoy time to themselves. Designing their spaces well willmake them live their best life, and thats the absolute least a pet-parent can do. Corners of the house that are usually underutilised, like space below the staircase, can make for a good pet house. Keeping them within view also helps to keep an eye on them while them having time alone, too. Dedicated wash areas, meal areas in the kitchen can be elegantly used to cohesively uplift the overall aesthetics. Flooring Hardwood floors are the most preferred option to enhance the visual look of a space. However, they arent suitable for homes with pets as they arent scratch- and water-resistant. Ceramic tiles, on the other hand, are stain-resistant, scratch- and water-resistant, making them the most durable pick for pet-friendly homes. There is a large variety of options to choose from for these, making it suitable for all spaces, including living rooms and kitchens. Less and heavy dcor items Placing heavier and fewer dcor pieces throughout the house keeps pets from dropping and breaking them while playing. Metal and stone accents are alternative material options for dcor instead of glass and ceramic, giving the pet uninterrupted playtime and the parent breakage-free styling. Restricting the number of dcor items is a game-changer. Fabrics For spaces shared with pets, the choice of fabric is really important. Their durability and stain resistance will keep you at bay, rather than having to worry about paw marks on the fabrics. Choose easy-to-clean fabrics like microfiber and micro-suede to cover your main pieces. With the growing percentage of families living with pets, the variability of such fabrics has drastically increased, too. Toxic plants Poisoning incidents in pets from plants are far from uncommon. Many plants are not safe for pets, and even the well-trained ones, at times, could sample a houseplant. For pet-friendly and tropical, lush interiors, plants like spider plant, bamboo, Chinese money plant, money tree, rattlesnake plant, and baby rubber plant are most suited. Aloe vera, babys breath, and daffodils are a few of the most common unsafe options. Pets are the life of a household. They give love unconditionally and dont judge you by your achievements or flaws. The least we can do for them is give them a space that feels like home. Happy pet-parenting!
History can be unreliable. When we refuse to document, and risk erasing all the people and their stories, then truly history can be unreliable. Writer Bell Hooks says that true understanding comes when we move beyond the centre and look at the margins, where the unheard voices lie. Thirunar Archives is a reclamation a powerful collection of the stories and art of trans communities, preserving what history (or rather historians who pick and choose) would once rather forget. Contributing to this idea, Poongodi Mathiarasu and Akshara Sanal, MMF PARI Fellows (20232024), have taken it upon themselves to document the livelihoods, art, and socio-economic realities of rural transgender folk artistes in Tamil Nadu. They ensure these voices, long overlooked, are finally given the space they deserve in the historical narrative. Through visual storytelling and oral histories, the project not only documents but also fights back against the erasure of trans lives and their contributions. Pieced histories A broken mirror. Shattered into a web of reflections. The eyeshadow palette beside it, smudged and worn, shared story of the hands that had traced their own beauty. A powder brush lay abandoned on the black wooden pedestal, its bristles holding the residue of colour, as if waiting for a final touch-up before stepping into the light. This was the first image one saw at We Trans, Have Always Been Here, a photo exhibition curated as part of the Thirunar Archives. The display set the tone for what lay ahead a history often fragmented, often erased, but pieced together with resilience. The first photograph was of Karumbukadai MP Selvi, known to many as Selvi Amma . Captured mid-motion, she stirred an enormous cauldron of biryani. A community leader as much as a chef, she employed sixty-five people, including fifteen transgender individuals. Another frame featured Iswaraya in a black sari, her head held high. A stage manager, playwright, costume designer, and director, she led Ashok Nataka Mandram, a troupe of ten trans women artistes whose performances served as a living archive of folk theatre. Then there was Ammu, painting her lips, looking at herself in the mirror, preparing for Karakattam. She had performed the traditional folk dance since she was seventeen, balancing the Thavalai Karagam on her head while raising bulls for Jallikattu and tending to crops. Art and sustenance, hand in hand. One wall was reserved for Bhai Amma , a transgender Muslim priest at the Putru Poonkavanathu Amman Temple, where devotees of all genders sought blessings. Nearby, a frame captured Sharmi, a Therukoothu performer whose journey had begun in street dance. Her body, painted in folklores colours, danced in decade-long devotion to Tamil Nadus oldest art form. Beside her stood Shyamala, who founded a dance company to secure fair pay for trans performers. The body as an archive Agni Pradeeps collection showcased her poetry, academic pursuits, and journey through medical procedures. Her surgery images moved inside a box, set in motion by a rolling mechanism outside. The weight of endurance was not just displayed but felt in the moving frame. Agni captured the necessity of this work. She says, As a trans person, this exhibition is crucial for both the community and society. We are trying to prove our existence within society. The work didnt just preserve, it demanded a confrontation with privilege the kind that dictates who gets archived, who gets remembered, even within the marginalised communities. From societys viewpoint, they often only recognise trans people as sex workers or beggars. They are unaware of the many trans artistes working in the folk art field. There is also a significant economic gap between privileged trans women and these artistes. The privileges start from something as simple as lipstick or makeup products they use. This lifestyle and livelihood need to be sensitised to the public, she explains. For Mathiarasu, this project was a responsibility. He says, I am a folk artiste, and I have been practising folk art forms for the past seven years. Some of the trans artistes who were my teachers greatly inspired me. I felt it was my responsibility to document a community that has contributed immensely to our culture through their cultural labour. This term, cultural labour, refers to the role the trans community has played in shaping the culture and art forms we speak of in India. His aim was not just visibility but correction. I wanted to document that this community is not just begging or performing menial work. They are deeply engaged in art forms, and this is not just about earning money its more than that. Its part of their lives, and they value it immensely. I wanted to capture the trans communitys love for art. Thats the essence of the project. Beyond stereotypes The project spanned three-and-a-half years, beginning with research before delving into photography, installations, and oral histories. The findings were staggering. Mathiarasu says, The majority of trans people, about eight or nine out of ten, had dropped out of school due to bullying. Theres a clear connection between bullying, dropping out, and choosing to take up folk forms as a profession. This shift in their lives often began during their school years. Education was often the first casualty of trans identity. For many, art became both sanctuary and rebellion. Akshara Sanals journey into this documentation was unplanned. My journey began when I was working with a Tamil news daily. I started by covering protests and attending book release events. This gave me the chance to work in the field and collaborate with people, gaining valuable experience. Later, Mathi and I received a fellowship, and together we initiated this project. The MMF Pari fellowship (2023-24) became the backbone of their work, leading them to rural trans folk artistes who had never been documented before. The documentation was displayed in Alliance Francaise Chennai from March 25-30. We were particular about ensuring the pictures didnt just have beautiful frames, colours, or angles; each photo had to tell a story. There were some photos we chose not to display, even though they were aesthetically pleasing, as they didnt convey the story we wanted to tell. By the end of the exhibit, a collection of mirrors were displayed on the wall. Akshara says, The large picture at the entrance shows a woman holding a broken mirror. This broken mirror symbolises how they use it to prepare themselves. The mirror is broken, but it reflects their reality. At the end of the exhibition, they face a full mirror, symbolising a complete reflection of themselves. Its a representation of their journey how their perspective can change, and how they can see themselves in a different light.
In a fight for love and legitimacy
Valliamma was never one to shy away from supporting her daughter P Srija, a trans woman. Instead, she moved forward with her daughter, taking the road of acceptance and growth. Initially, I had a fear of what everyone would say but then I knew. Ennaku nee than thevai, mattavangal thevai illai (I dont want anyone else but you), Valliamma from Thoothukudi says about her daughter. This grit is the theme of Ammas Pride, a 20-minute documentary that takes viewers through the struggles of a trans woman navigating societys deep-seated prejudices. The film screened at Alliance Francaise Madras, showcased the bond between the incomparable mother-daughter duo. After her education came to an abrupt end, Srija and her longtime friend-turned-partner, B Arun Kumar, decided to start a life together. Their love defied social norms, and their marriage the first legal one in Tamil Nadu between a trans woman and a cisgender man became a battle against bureaucracy, prejudice, and even their own families. It was only after our marriage that people realised we were a queer couple, says Arun. They assumed we were just friends. Many people support the trans community in theory, but when it comes to their own families, acceptance disappears. Despite legal recognition, their battles didnt end. The couple faced relentless scrutiny the media sensationalised their relationship, often portraying their love as a spectacle. Aruns mother opposed the marriage, pressuring him for a separation. Verbal abuse, emotional manipulation, and social ostracisation followed. An important story For decades mainstream media has portrayed trans people as comic relief or symbols of tragedy. But as conversations around gender are evolving, there are more spaces to tell stories that centre real experiences, narratives that people can own. Hence, director Shiva Krish wanted to shift the narrative from controversy to compassion. I first heard about Srijas marriage registration in 2019. I was in Chennai and didnt know much about her at the time, he says. The media coverage was insensitive, and I wanted to tell her story differently. When I spoke to her, I realised that her mothers unwavering support was a story that had never been told. That became my focus. Naveen, volunteer, Nirangal Bullying and harassment often start in schools. If teachers dont understand gender identity, they cant create a safe learning environment for trans students. Systemic change is essential. Siva, co-founder of Nirangal, joined the conversation and shared that it is important to shift narratives. Siva says, We engage with children in schools, talking about gender in an age-appropriate way. For those above 18, we introduce conversations about sexuality. We also work with parents and offer them access to mental health professionals and legal experts. It is not a disease to be cured. Weve seen acceptance grow through these efforts. For Srija, her marriage was never just about love it was about paving the way for others like her. The officials eventually arranged for us to marry under the Hindu Marriage Act. But many of my friends have taken their own lives because of the opportunities they were denied. Love and marriage are still out of reach for many trans people. Not everyone has the strength to fight these legal battles. So, I wanted to fight for them. The couple still continue to fight their battles, but love and acceptance like that of Valliamma fuels their lives.

Tamil Nadu should explore non-lethal solutions over hunting in wild pig conflict
CHENNAI: While the Tamil Nadu forest department has procured weapons and begun the preparations for hunting wild pigs , conservationists warn that the move might disturb the predator-prey ratio and cause more adverse impacts. A new study by the Advanced Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) has also suggested exploring non-lethal methods to manage the escalating human-wild pig conflict before resorting to hunting. The report, detailing 3,331 conflict incidents, reveals that wild pigs are a growing challenge, with 94.4% (3,117) of cases tied to crop damage, 0.39% (13) to human deaths, 4.9% (161) to injuries, 0.1% (4) to livestock losses, and 0.2% (6) to property damage. However, the AIWC warns that hunting could disrupt ecosystems and urges sustainable alternatives. The study shows wild pigs target crops like groundnut (23%) and paddy (19.9%), with moderate damage to sugarcane (10%), maize (9.5%), tapioca (7.82%), banana (4.6%), and corn (6%). Analyzing 50 forest divisions, 40 reported conflicts, with Dharmapuri leading at 20.8%, followed by Thiruvallur (16.7%). Moderate incidents occurred in KMTR Ambasamudram (8.3%), Tiruvannamalai (7.4%), and Tiruppur (5.1%), while Trichy (0.6%) and Kanyakumari (0.4%) saw the least. December marked the peak conflict month, followed by November and September, with April recording the fewest cases. Tamil Nadus response includes the Wild Pig Hunting Guidelines, zoning areas near forests: Zone-A (up to 1 km) bans hunting, Zone-B (1-3 km) requires capture and release, and Zone-C (beyond 3 km) allows hunting. A special farmers-wildlife conflict resolution committee with officials and experts was constituted to study the impact of wild animals such as elephants and wild pigs on agricultural crop raiding in Tamil Nadu and to find a solution and make recommendations. The committee in its report recommended hunting beyond 5 km from forest boundary, but the State government in its own wisdom reduced it to 3 km. In the research document, the AIWC opined the most efficient strategy to reduce wild pig abundance involves reducing supplementary anthropogenic food resources and selectively removing juvenile and yearling wild pigs. It proposes non-lethal mitigationlike habitat restoration, crop diversification, and eco-friendly fencingbacked by incentive programmes. Dr J Pandiyan, associate professor, Department of Zoology and Wildlife Biology, said biofencing was one of the potential mitigation measures for farmers who are facing intensive conflicts with wildlife. About 45 non-browsing plants have been identified and details will be published in a book shortly. The government can supply these plants free of cost to farmers for cultivation. Species like Dendrocnide sinuata (Anaisoriyan), Acacia concinna (Sigaikkai), Allium cepa (Vengayam), Allium sativam (Vellai poondu), Citrus lemon and Aloe vera (Katrazhai) are known to yield good results. Coimbatore-based environmentalist Mac Mohan said the government is succumbing to pressure without conducting any scientific assessment. There is no predator-prey ratio study, wild pig population assessment is not done, and we don't even have leopard population data. Removal of wild pigs, an important prey base especially for leopards, in large numbers will push big cats into human areas, which can lead to fatalities. Let the government compensate the poor farmers adequately. Kerala has failed to contain the wild pig conflict problem, although rampant culling was carried out. A senior forest official said adequate precautions will be taken before giving hunting permission in a specific division. As per the G.O., local committees will be constituted which will inspect the conflict area for assessing crop damages and recommend for either the release of compensation to farmers or recommend for hunting to jurisdictional forest ranger officers. Permission to shoot the wild pigs will be granted only in most problematic divisions. Centre again rejects Keralas plea to declare wild pig as vermin

IPL 2025: Too Nervous To Eat, Debutant Ashwani Kumar Gobbles Up 4-24 On Debut
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians proved once again that dreams do come true as they uncorked another cricketing gem, pushing into the forefront an unknown bowler from Punjab in their first home match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium here on Monday. A few days after they introduced Vignesh Puthur to the world, against the fellow five-time winners Chennai Super Kings in Chennai, the Mumbai Indians on Monday gave the first cap to Ashwani Kumar, an unknown 23-year-old left-arm seamer from Jhanjeri town near Mohali (Chandigarh). Ashwani grabbed the opportunity with both hands and claimed 4-24 in three overs, making use of the conditions and slight assistance provided by the fresh Wankhede pitch. Ashwani thus became the first Indian bowler to claim four wickets on IPL debut, ending up with the best figures by a debutant bowler. It was a surprising decision by Mumbai as Ashwani has only played four senior T20 matches prior to his IPL debut. He has figured in two Ranji Trophy matches and four List A matches, but has not set the stage on fire in any of those matches. Ashwani, who was informed of his debut on Sunday itself, came empty stomach to the Wankhede, his jingling nerves making it impossible to eat anything. I am feeling very good. I was feeling pressure early on, but the team environment did not make me feel that way. I just had a banana because there was pressure, so I was not feeling very hungry. I had planned a little, but they told me to enjoy myself on debut and bowl what I have been bowling, Ashwani told the broadcasters in the mid-innings interview. The shy, lanky 23-year-old proved a tiger when given the ball as he struck with his first ball, dismissing KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane. He claimed three more wickets, setting up experienced batters Manish Pandey and Andre Russell like a seasoned pro, keeping the ball short and wide and enticing them to take their chances. And they mostly failed to get the better of him. He cramped Pandey for space, getting him to play onto his stumps while Russell was bowled when Ashwani sent in a fullish delivery after two short ones. Rinku Singh was sent back by a delivery that was banged in short, enticing him to hit against the line. Elated by his performance, Ashwani gave credit to skipper Hardik Pandya for helping him plan Russell's dismissal. Hardik bhai told me to bowl short and to bowl at the body, and that led to a wicket. In my village, everyone would be watching. They were just waiting for my debut, and by God's grace, I got an opportunity tonight and did well, said the young pacer. Monday was the first time that Ashwani had picked 4 wickets in a match. His previous best was 3-37 in List A cricket and 1/19 in T20s. He grabbed a catch and also dropped two in the field, but that did not matter as his heroics helped Mumbai Indians bowl out KKR for 116 in 16.2 overs. Ashwani, the latest in the line of young pacers to make a mark in IPL and following in the footsteps of Mayank Yadav and Umran Malik, had an opportunity to claim a maiden fifer but did not get a chance to complete his quota of four overs. Monday was the first time that Ashwani had picked 4 wickets in a match. His previous best was 3-37 in List A cricket and 1/19 in T20s.
