Veeramani Files Unravel: A Arun, N Kannan Removed From Posts
Shanti and her husband Mahendra Simhan, arrested in connection with the POCSO case involving Gem Granites chairman R Veeramani, have approached the Chennai Special POCSO Court seeking bail. The couple, arrested on August 28 and remanded in Puzhal prison the following day, has argued that there are serious questions surrounding the case and that there is no possibility of them tampering with evidence. The case was registered on October 7, 2025, during the previous DMK government, after police received a pen drive containing the purported video. The arrests, however, came nearly 11 months later, on August 29, 2026, after the TVK government took office and after the Special POCSO Court rejected the police closure report and ordered further investigation.

Tribal students from Hasanur to visit Chennai for educational exposure
Aditi Rao Hydari has been receiving attention for her performance in the recently released Lust Stories 3, in which she plays Saira, a woman navigating desire, intimacy and female pleasure while also dealing with the emotional dynamics within her family. One of the important relationships in her story is the bond she shares with her father-in-law, played by Gajraj Rao. Speaking about the relationship portrayed in the film, Hydari said the father-in-law character stood out to her because of the understanding and support he extends to Saira. She also credited director R. Balkis interpretation and Raos presence for adding emotional depth to their scenes. What was written on paper was very beautiful. But obviously, when the director comes in and peppers it with their understanding of what it is, and you have an actor like Gajraj Rao in front of you - I think for me, it was very tender. I think what really struck me in the story was the progressive nature of that family, where the father-in-law is an ally to this girl. Because everybody says, , . But to actually feel like you have a confidant in a father-in-law in 1987, I think that's absolutely wonderful. Like I always say, this is yesterday actually it struck me that this is kind of almost like an ideal love story, where there are unfulfilled desires, but they're all unfulfilled with a lot of love, she explained simply. Hydari also spoke about the role of creativity in helping women find their voice. She said she appreciated the way Saira receives support from both her husband and father-in-law as she explores her artistic side through different forms of expression. For a girl to be able to find their courage through artistry, I find that very incredible as well. For both the husband and the father-in-law to be allies in this is so beautiful, whether it's through dance, music, writing, poetry, literature. Even for girls and for all of us, that is our voice. And that really gives us a wholesomeness that is ours. I find that very wonderful generally in life. So I really liked that that scene was really so tender. My father passed away much earlier than he should have. He was not well. And for me, any scene between a parent and a child then becomes very... very... it just means so much more. So it was very, very moving. It was very beautiful, she added. Through Saira, Hydari explores different facets of womanhood, including desire, intimacy and self-expression. The relationship between Saira and her father-in-law adds another emotional layer to the story, while Hydaris personal experience with the loss of her father made the parent-child moments particularly meaningful for her. The film also looks at how family relationships can offer support as individuals navigate their personal identities and aspirations. For Hydari, the emotional connection attached to these scenes made her experience of portraying them especially personal.

TN schools warned against special classes during quarterly exam break
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu School Education Department has instructed headteachers not to hold special classes during the quarterly examination holidays, warning that they will be held responsible if the directive is breached and an untoward incident occurs. Students following the state syllabus are taking their quarterly examinations from September 16 to 25. Schools of all categories have been granted a break from September 26 to October 4. The departments instruction is aimed at ensuring that students get time away from regular classes after the examinations, rather than spending the holiday back at school for additional lessons. The warning is particularly relevant to students in Classes 10 and 12, for whom schools have held special classes during quarterly breaks in the past. Headteachers have now been told not to arrange such sessions during the announced holiday period. The department has made clear that a headteacher would bear full responsibility if classes are conducted in violation of the instructions and any untoward incident takes place. The circular also sets out what teachers should do before the break. Subject teachers have been asked to advise students to write answers to assignment question papers during the holidays. They have also been told to guide students to study one subject each day. These directions allow pupils to continue their preparation at home without being called to school for special classes. The department has also stated that students should not undertake trips during the break, according to the instructions. The quarterly examinations and the subsequent holiday follow a set schedule this year: the last examination is due on September 25, with the break beginning the following day and continuing until October 4. For examination classes, instruction means that revision during the break is to be guided through assignments and daily study advice, rather than classroom sessions arranged by schools. Headteachers must ensure that staff follow the holiday directive, while subject teachers can give students a plan for independent study. The department said the order at government schools is intended to ease the pressure on pupils after their examinations. The warning to headteachers underlines that the declared holiday must be observed even where schools would ordinarily schedule extra coaching for board examination students.
Nivin Pauly plays a man who is 8,822 years old in Ram's 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai'
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) The makers of acclaimed Tamil film director Ram's eagerly-awaited 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai', featuring actors Nivin Pauly, Soori and Anjali in the lead, have now put out a release trailer of the film, which shows that Nivin Pauly plays a man who is 8,822 years old in the film. Producer Suresh Kamatchi, whose production house V House Productions is producing the film, took to his social media timelines to share the newly released trailer's link. He wrote, OUT NOW! Release Trailer of Director Ram's #YezhuKadalYezhuMalai is here! In theatres from October 1, 2026. Written and Directed by #DirectorRam. Starring @NivinOfficial @yoursanjali @sooriofficial. A @thisisysr musical. Produced by @vhouseofficial. The trailer begins with Soori, who is travelling in a train calling a friend and speaking to him over phone. He says, As soon as I reach the next station, I have to go to the first reserved compartment. When the friend asks him what had happened, Soori replies that he has seen someone who looks strange and that he is even scared to look at him. The trailer then shows a conversation between Nivin Pauly and Soori. Nivin Pauly's character asks Soori, How old are you? To this, Soori says, I'm 32 years old, sir. Nivin Pauly then replies, I'm 8,822 years old. The trailer then shows Nivin Pauly's character several hundred years ago. A conversation between a woman and a child is then heard. The woman is heard saying, When 50 to 60 years of memories itself can burden a human, imagine how a man who has lived for 8000 years will feel. The trailer also shows that the film has quite a generous dose of humour added to it. The closing sequence of the trailer shows Soori challenging Nivin Pauly to a duel. He says, Come on. Let's see who wins. Eventually, Nivin Pauly gets the better of him. Soon after, Nivin Pauly asks him, Where were you in 1441? Which 1441, sir?, replies Soori. Nivin Pauly then rephrases, In the year 1441. To this, Soori asks, Is it 1441 BC or 1441 AD?' Another funny conversation is heard. With a person asking Soori in a threatening tone, Were you or were you not there in the Amazon forests? Soori replies, Sir, I haven't even ordered anything from Amazon. The film, which has been waiting to hit screens for quite some time now, is to finally hit screens on October 1 this year. For the unaware, one of Tamil cinema's most respected directors, Ram, started work on this film in Rameshwaram's Dhanushkodi in 2021 and completed shooting in April 2022. From then, the film has been awaiting a release date. The film has visuals by cinematographer Ekhambharam and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

TN reviews Pattinapakam secretariat plan amid fishermens opposition
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu government is reviewing its proposal to build a new Secretariat at Pattinapakkam, Minister Nirmal Kumar said on Thursday, amid reports that the site could be changed following objections from fishing communities and opposition parties. Asked whether the government had withdrawn its decision to build the complex at Pattinapakkam, Kumar did not confirm that the project had been scrapped. Work on the proposed Secretariat was under review, he told reporters in Chennai, adding that the minister concerned would make an official announcement. The government was studying possible locations within the city for the Secretariat, Kumar said. His remarks leave open both the future of the Pattinapakkam proposal and the question of where the building will eventually be constructed. The original plan envisaged a 15-storey Secretariat on 25 acres at Pattinapakkam, with an estimated cost of Rs 1,200 crore. The government had approved the initial stage of land acquisition, and the Public Works Department was preparing a detailed project report for the development. The choice of site, however, drew opposition from parties that said construction would threaten the livelihoods of fishermen who have long lived in the area. Fishermen also raised objections to the proposed complex, making the project a contentious issue even before construction began. There had been an expectation that the government would seek to address the fishing communitys concerns before proceeding with work at Pattinapakkam. The continuing opposition has since fuelled speculation that the administration is reconsidering the location. Reports suggested that the Public Works Department had dropped the Pattinapakkam plan and that a different site would be announced soon. Kumars comments did not confirm either claim. Instead, he described an ongoing review and said an official decision would be communicated by the minister responsible. The distinction matters for residents who have sought clarity on whether their homes and livelihoods could be affected. It also leaves the government to explain how it will choose a site and respond to objections raised over the coastal location. For now, the proposed Secretariat has neither a confirmed new address nor a publicly announced cancellation of the Pattinapakkam site. Further details on the project, including its location and next steps, are expected only after the government completes its review, following discussions with relevant stakeholders, and makes a formal announcement.
Three TN police officers summoned over closure of granite baron Veeramanis POCSO case
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has summoned three police officers who handled an earlier investigation into a child sexual abuse case against Gem Granites businessman R Veeramani, seeking an explanation for the decision to close the case after a complaint was filed last October. Assistant Commissioner Yasmin, who served in the anti-vice unit, and inspectors Mahesh Kumar and Rajalakshmi have been asked to appear for questioning. Investigators are expected to examine how the complaint was assessed, what evidence was collected and why the previous team submitted a closure report. Veeramani was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act over allegations of sexually abusing minors and was lodged in Puzhal prison. Police also arrested Shanthi and her husband, Mahendra Simhan, on allegations that they facilitated the abuse. Veeramanis former aide Ganesan has been arrested and remanded in custody. The summons mark a further stage in an investigation that reopened after judicial scrutiny of the initial police findings. A complaint against Veeramani was registered in October 2025, but the police subsequently sought to close the matter. The court declined to accept that conclusion and directed a fresh investigation. The renewed enquiry led to the arrests and has now turned to the conduct of the officers who dealt with the original complaint. Investigators are also examining allegations concerning Veeramanis conduct over a much longer period. Claims that the abuse began as early as 2003 and continued for about 23 years, remain allegations under investigation; the duration and details have not been established by a court. Police have not publicly set out how many alleged victims or incidents are covered by those claims. The officers questioning could clarify whether investigators overlooked material evidence, failed to pursue relevant leads or had grounds for recommending closure. Being summoned for questioning does not, by itself, establish misconduct by any of the three officers. No findings against those officers have been announced. The case has drawn attention because the courts refusal to accept the closure report changed the course of the investigation. The CCB will have to establish both the facts behind the allegations against Veeramani and the reasons the earlier enquiry ended as it did. Those arrested face allegations at this stage, and the case remains subject to investigation and court proceedings.
TN health officials urge people to use masks in hospitals amid respiratory infections
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) Public health officials in Tamil Nadu have urged patients and visitors to wear masks in hospitals, warning that respiratory infections can spread even though masking is not compulsory. The appeal comes amid concern over illnesses reported in the state, including dengue, scrub typhus, Covid-19, chickenpox and measles. Officials said respiratory infections appeared to be affecting more people than dengue, and expressed concern that many people seeking treatment in government and private hospitals were arriving without masks. Respiratory infections are spreading more than dengue in Tamil Nadu. Such infections can easily pass from one person to another. Yet patients and their relatives coming to hospitals are not wearing masks, public health officials said. They advised everyone entering a hospital to take precautions, especially in areas where patients gather. Although there is no general requirement to wear a mask, officials said people should not dismiss the possibility of infection spreading during a hospital visit. The warning concerns respiratory illnesses and should not be confused with the way all the other diseases mentioned spread. Dengue is transmitted through infected mosquito bites, while scrub typhus is linked to bites from infected mites. Masks do not prevent either disease through its usual route of transmission. Measles and some other viral illnesses can spread through the air, making precautions around people with symptoms relevant. Chickenpox can also spread through respiratory secretions and contact with fluid from blisters. Different illnesses require different preventive measures, even when patients are being treated in the same hospital. Officials focused their appeal on the risk posed by close contact between people with respiratory symptoms and others waiting for care. A person accompanying a patient may spend time in registration areas, corridors and outpatient departments, where it can be difficult to avoid contact with those who are ill. Health guidance recommends that people with coughs or other respiratory symptoms wear a mask while in a healthcare facility. Hospitals can provide masks and hand hygiene supplies, and identify patients who may need to be separated from others. Public health officials urged patients and attendants to act responsibly when visiting hospitals. Their message was that masks could potentially help reduce the risk of respiratory infections spreading among patients, visitors and healthcare workers.

Vishnu Vishal, Mamitha Baiju's Irandu Vaanam to hit screens on October 23
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) The makers of director Ramkumars upcoming film 'Irandu Vaanam', featuring actors Vishnu Vishal and Mamitha Baiju in the lead, have now announced that their film will hit screens worldwide on October 23 this year. Taking to its X timeline to make the announcement, production house Sathya Jyothi Films wrote, Love in its most purest, intense form. #IranduVaanam in theatres worldwide from 23rd October 2026. A film by @dir_ramkumar. Starring @TheVishnuVishal @_mamithabaiju. A @dhibuofficial musical. The film, the shooting of which was wrapped up on June 10 last year, has triggered huge expectations among fans and film buffs. Taking to his X timeline to put out the update, Vishnu Vishal, on June 10 last year had said,Last day of #IranduVaanam... 150th day of shoot...It's been a journey that you also will get to feel on the big screen soon.... @dir_ramkumar has cooked something unique and interesting again...Thank you @SathyaJyothi. The film has raised huge expectations as director Ramkumar is joining hands with Vishnu Vishal for the third film after delivering two superhits in 'Mundasupatti' and 'Ratsasan'. Well known production house, Sathya Jyothi films is producing this film. It may be recalled that the first look poster of the film, which was released a few months ago, was quite unique. The first look poster had two parts to it, both connected by a sky. On one side of the sky, Vishnu Vishal was seen seated on a cloud. Likewise, Mamitha Baiju appeared to be seated on a cloud but in the opposite direction. The title Irandu Vaanam means Two Skies. It is hard to guess what the film is about except for the fact that the lead characters are from two identical worlds that need not necessarily be the same. While the film has music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas, cinematography for the film is by Dinesh K Babu. San Lokesh is in-charge of editing the film, which has art direction by Gopi Anand. Stunts for the film have been choreographed by Vicky while costumes are by Keerthivasan. Dances for the film have been choreographed by Leelavathi and VFX has been handled by Harihara Suthen of Lorven Studios. The film has been produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan and co-produced by G Saravanan and Sai Siddharth.

TN govt plans QR-coded permits to track mineral transport, check fake passes
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 24 (IANS) Vehicles transporting sand and other minerals across Tamil Nadu will soon need QR-coded online permits, replacing paper transit documents. The system aims to prevent illegal shipments using forged passes, including those involving minerals classified as major and minor. Natural Resources Minister D.K. Prabhu said permits would be generated through the Mineral Management System (MIMAS) portal, with manual passes discontinued upon launch. The department has yet to announce a launch date. Each digital pass will carry details that can be checked against the quantity transported and the quarry from which the minerals were obtained. Officials expect better oversight of shipments, royalty revenue and GST collections across the state. Weighbridges will also be connected to MIMAS so loads can be compared with the amounts recorded on permits. Officials plan to use a control room to monitor transportation and flag overloaded vehicles. Weighbridges serving some limestone quarry leases are already linked to the portal, and the department is working to include sites producing minor minerals. The measures form part of a broader effort to digitise mining administration from extraction to transportation. Trucks carrying minerals have been given until September 30 to install GPS devices, adding another means of tracking their journeys. Sand lorry operators have welcomed the move towards online documentation but raised concerns about liability when contractors supply fraudulent papers. In a case in Thiruvallur district, about 14 trucks carrying soil were detained over allegedly fake transit passes and permits, and cases were registered against drivers and vehicle owners. The operators want electronic transport documents to carry confirmation from a government official so drivers and owners can verify their validity before accepting a load. They have also sought closer oversight at crusher units to ensure that minerals dispatched from those sites comply with the rules. Lorry operators have also asked the department to speed up the connection of stone quarry weighbridges to the portal. They argue that digital permits will have limited value if shipments leave extraction sites without reliable weighing and verification. They say illegal stone quarries continue to operate and have proposed that the government run quarries and supply manufactured sand and plastering sand directly. The planned systems main test will be whether authorities can verify permits and loads consistently, from the quarry gate to the vehicles destination.

CM Vijay supervising Veeramani case: TN Minister
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 23 (IANS) School Education Minister Rajmohan said Wednesday that Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and promised that everyone found to be involved would face action. Rajmohan accused the previous DMK government of failing to act despite evidence and said the TVK administration had taken up the case within months of coming to power. The investigation was comprehensive, he told reporters after inaugurating a renovated pond on the Government Museum campus in Egmore. The minister asked why the case had remained out of public view for a year and questioned whether DMK functionaries were protecting anyone connected to it. He also asked who directed that the case be closed. He directed his questions at the previous government, including former minister S. Regupathy, whose remarks on the matter he criticised. The Veeramani case is under the direct supervision of the Chief Minister. No one can escape, Rajmohan said. He added that the government would examine other cases it believed had been kept under wraps and bring their details to light. His comments came amid a dispute between the ruling TVK and the DMK over how the earlier investigation was handled. Turning to the proposed Secretariat-cum-Assembly complex, Rajmohan said the government had not settled on Pattinapakkam as its location. Vijay would make the final decision and announce it soon, he said. The project has prompted discussion over where the states new administrative complex should be built. Rajmohan also called for the early release of findings from studies at Keezhadi. Describing the archaeological site as an identity of civilisation as a whole, beyond its importance to Tamil history, he urged the Union government to make the research findings public without delay. Asked about the Assembly by-elections in Dharapuram and Madurantakam, he expressed confidence in the ruling partys prospects. Conditions were favourable for TVK to win both seats, Rajmohan said, as the party prepared for the contests. The remarks covered three matters facing the government alongside the Veeramani investigation: the location of its proposed headquarters, the publication of archaeological findings and the partys first tests in the two by-elections.
