Pak terror handlers revive old playbook, target cash-strapped recruits
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) The busting of the Faridabad terror module, which allegedly carried out the car bomb blast near Delhis Red Fort in November last year, exposed how white-collar professionals were operating dangerous terror cells in India. It also indicated growing interest among similar youth in establishing terror cells and engaging in anti-national activities. These terror cells have emerged independently, with minimal interference from outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Such modules draw inspiration from the ideology of these terror groups but maintain limited contact with operatives based in Pakistan during their formation and subsequent operations. An official said the pattern of picking educated and well-to-do youth was part of a changed strategy. Such persons are more lethal, require very little guidance and are capable of planning and executing high-value attacks while also raising funds on their own, the official said. While such modules are likely to continue emerging, agencies have noticed a significant change in their recruitment patterns. Over the past six to eight months, there has been a shift in the profile of those being recruited. Greater emphasis is now being placed on daily wage workers, less educated persons and those in financial distress. These recruits are not driven by ideology but are willing to work for small sums ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000, the official said. These are the persons who are being picked up by the likes of Shahzad Bhatti to run surveillance rackets, drug smuggling and short-time hits. Take the case of Maqsood Ali, a 21-year-old daily wager arrested in Coimbatore, in Tamil Nadu. He was picked up to run a surveillance racket and also recruit more persons into this network. He had managed to recruit persons from Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Another official said none of these persons were highly educated, and neither were they high profile. Most of them bit the bait for the sake of money. Even in the recent arrests made across the country by the various state police units, the recruits were all in for the money and were not driven by ideology, the official added. Counter-terror analysts say that such recruits are not as lethal as the high-profile white-collar terrorists. They need to be hand-held, and their operations may not be top-notch or high-profile. However, they can create a lot of damage to the security apparatus of the country. Such recruits, especially the daily wagers, do not come under scrutiny. They come across as any other person going about his work. The recruit uses this profile to enter crowded areas such as railway stations or bus stands and install CCTV cameras that provide a live feed to handlers based out of Pakistan. Even the people who see them do not suspect them as they look like genuine individuals who have been called in to either repair or install a camera, the official said. The Pakistan-based networks appear to be going back to the old style of recruitment when it comes to such operations. Several years back, the terror handlers would exploit the financial condition of a youth and then rope him in. In those days, these persons were assigned to collect material to prepare bombs, and once the same was ready, they would plant them at the specified location. Several bomb blasts took place in many parts of the country as the execution of the task never came under the eye, and none raised any suspicion about them. Officials say that this indicates that the Pakistan-based networks are not only focusing on self-radicalised modules comprising white-collar recruits. They are going back to the old style of recruitment where economic status is the tool to recruit and get the job done, an official said.

Rain likely across TN today; heavy showers forecast in western districts
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 7 (IANS) Moderate rain is likely in several districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, while heavier rainfall is forecast in Coimbatore, the Nilgiris and Theni over the next two days, according to the weather department. Chennai could receive light to moderate rain during the evening or night. However, the prospect of rainfall will coincide with above-normal daytime temperatures across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, where maximum temperatures are expected to remain two to three degrees Celsius higher than usual. The districts named in Wednesdays moderate rainfall forecast include the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Dindigul, Tiruppur, Tenkasi, Virudhunagar, Kanniyakumari and Tirunelveli. Rain is also likely in Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, Madurai, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram. The forecast thus covers districts across western and southern Tamil Nadu, as well as parts of the Cauvery delta. Moderate rainfall is expected in these areas on Wednesday, with a separate forecast indicating the possibility of heavier rain in some western districts in the following days. Coimbatore and the Nilgiris are likely to receive heavy rain on Thursday and Friday. Theni is expected to receive heavy rainfall on Friday, extending the outlook for heavier showers to another district along the states western belt. For Chennai, the weather department has indicated that rain is more likely later in the day. The forecast for the city specifies light to moderate showers during the evening or night, rather than the heavy rainfall predicted for Coimbatore, the Nilgiris and Theni. Despite the rain forecast, temperatures are expected to stay above normal on Wednesday. The departments temperature outlook applies to both Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, with maximum readings likely to exceed the usual level by two to three degrees Celsius. The rainfall and temperature forecasts point to a day when showers may occur in several districts while daytime conditions remain warmer than normal. The anticipated rain does not alter the departments projection of elevated maximum temperatures across the state and the neighbouring union territory during the course of Wednesday. The outlook for the next two days places particular attention on Coimbatore and the Nilgiris, where heavy rain is forecast on both days, and Theni, where the heavier rainfall is expected on Friday. Wednesdays forecast, meanwhile, indicates moderate rain across the named districts and lighter to moderate showers in Chennai later in the day.

Campaigning ends for Madurantakam, Dharapuram bypolls; TN CM Vijay holds final roadshow
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) Campaigning for the October 6 Assembly bypolls in Madurantakam and Dharapuram ended at 6 p.m. on Sunday, bringing an intensive contest to a close after roadshows and public meetings by leaders of Tamil Nadu's major political parties. Both Assembly constituencies face five-way contests, with party leaders camping in the two seats to mobilise support. Dharapuram, a reserved constituency in Tiruppur district, has 22 candidates, including nominees of political parties and independents. Chief Minister and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay marked the final day with a roadshow supporting his party's Dharapuram candidate, P. Sathyabama. Thousands of party workers and residents gathered along the route, while elaborate security arrangements were made for his visit. CM Vijay flew from Chennai to Coimbatore on Sunday morning and then travelled by helicopter to a helipad at Maruthi Nagar in Dharapuram, arriving around 11 a.m. He proceeded in a campaign vehicle to the Udumalai roundabout junction, about two kilometres away, before passing through the Periyar statue junction, Five Roads junction and Meenakshipuram. The roadshow continued through Kulathupalayam, Karaiyur, Mulanur and Vanchi Amman temple, covering around 40 kilometre between Dharapuram and Mulanur. Sathyabama accompanied CM Vijay in the campaign vehicle as he sought votes for her. After returning to Maruthi Nagar along the same route, CM Vijay left by helicopter for Coimbatore and subsequently flew back to Chennai. This was his second campaign visit in support of Sathyabama. CM Vijay had also held a roadshow in Madurantakam to campaign for TVK candidate Maragatham Kumaravel. DMK President M.K. Stalin campaigned in Dharapuram on Saturday, holding a roadshow from the Amaravathi statue in support of party candidate S. Sukanya. At a campaign meeting for DMK's Madurantakam candidate Paranthaman, Stalin sharply criticized CM Vijay's political rhetoric. Referring to CM Vijay's assertion that a five-minute speech could shake the world, Stalin accused the Chief Minister of making a spectacle of himself to secure votes in a single Assembly constituency. AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) campaigned for Bhanumathi in Dharapuram and Ganitha Sampath in Madurantakam. Addressing a gathering after campaigning in Acharapakkam, EPS questioned CM Vijay's contribution to farmers. What have you done for farmers? Driving a tractor does not make you a farmer, Palaniswami said. Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin also canvassed for Sukanya in Dharapuram on Saturday, urging voters to teach the TVK-led state government a lesson for failing to control rising prices. Candidates, party functionaries and alliance leaders had stepped up campaigning across both Assembly constituencies in the closing days, seeking support through meetings, roadshows and extensive voter outreach ahead of October 6 polling in the two seats.

TN ministerial team to visit Kerala on Monday for Anamalayar-Nallaru project talks
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) A delegation of Tamil Nadu ministers is expected to travel to Kerala on Monday to continue discussions on the Anamalayar-Nallaru project, a longstanding demand of farmers seeking improved irrigation facilities in Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts. According to reports, the delegation will comprise state Water Resources Minister Anand, Revenue Minister Sengottaiyan, Public Welfare Minister Arunraj and Tourism Minister Rajesh Kumar. The ministers are expected to meet Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and the states Irrigation Minister to discuss the proposed project and its implementation. The visit, scheduled for October 5, is intended to carry forward discussions between the two states. However, the report does not specify the meeting venue, the detailed agenda or whether any formal agreement is expected during the talks. Farmers in the three western Tamil Nadu districts have long sought implementation of the Anamalayar-Nallaru project to strengthen irrigation facilities. Their demand forms the central backdrop to the proposed ministerial visit, which will bring the issue before Keralas political leadership. The delegations discussions are expected to focus on the projects implementation. The available information does not indicate whether the ministers will present a revised proposal, seek specific clearances or discuss a timetable for further negotiations. With the Water Resources Minister forming part of the delegation, the proposed meeting will provide an opportunity for direct discussions on the irrigation initiative. The participation of three other ministers also places the visit within a broader ministerial engagement between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. For farmers awaiting progress, the immediate significance of the visit lies in the continuation of discussions on a demand that has remained pending for years. The outcome will depend on what the two sides agree to take forward after their meeting. No details have been provided on the projects estimated cost, funding arrangements, construction schedule or the envisaged irrigation coverage. The report also does not mention any decision already reached between the two governments on these aspects. The planned visit, therefore, represents another round of discussions on the proposal. Whether it produces a concrete decision, a further meeting or additional examination of the project will become clear only after the talks. The focus now turns to Mondays expected meeting with CM Satheesan and the Irrigation Minister, as Tamil Nadu seeks to advance discussions on the farmers longstanding irrigation demand.

Heavy rain forecast for Nilgiris, Coimbatore; showers likely across Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 3 (IANS) Moderate rain accompanied by strong winds is likely across Tamil Nadus Western Ghats districts and several southern and central districts on Saturday and Sunday, the Meteorological Department has forecast. The weather conditions are being influenced by a cyclonic circulation over the southeastern Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast. The department said the system could bring rainfall to parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days. Besides districts along the Western Ghats, moderate rain is expected in Madurai, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga. Pudukkottai, Tiruchi, Ariyalur and Perambalur are also likely to receive moderate rainfall during the same period, with strong winds accompanying the showers. The forecast indicates that rainfall will vary across the State, with heavier showers expected in some hill districts and areas adjoining the Western Ghats. Other districts covered by the forecast are expected to receive moderate rain. The Meteorological Centre has predicted heavy rain in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Dindigul and Theni districts on Sunday, October 4. The warning places these four districts among the areas likely to experience the most intense rainfall during the weekend. For Salem, Erode, Namakkal, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri, the department has forecast moderate rain on Sunday. These districts are expected to receive showers as the prevailing weather system continues to influence conditions across western and adjoining parts of Tamil Nadu. Nilgiris and Coimbatore are likely to see a longer spell of heavy rainfall. According to the Meteorological Centre, heavy rain in these two districts could continue until October 6, extending beyond the weekend forecast issued for other areas. The outlook, therefore, points to sustained wet weather in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, while Dindigul and Theni have been specifically identified for heavy rain on Sunday. The forecast for the remaining named districts is for moderate rainfall. In Chennai, the department has predicted light rain on Saturday evening or during the night. The capitals forecast is for lighter showers compared with the heavy rainfall expected in parts of western Tamil Nadu. The latest forecast covers both the weekend rainfall outlook and the possibility of continuing heavy showers in two western districts through Tuesday. Strong winds are also expected alongside moderate rain in the Western Ghats districts and the southern and central districts identified in the departments forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

TN: Heavy rain forecast in Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Erode today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 1 (IANS) Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds is likely in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode districts on Thursday, the Meteorological Department said, as a trough extending across Tamil Nadu is expected to bring rainfall to several parts of the state. The trough runs from south interior of Karnataka to the Gulf of Mannar through Tamil Nadu. Under its influence, the three western districts could receive heavy showers, while several other districts are likely to experience moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. The forecast places Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode among the areas expected to receive the heaviest rainfall. Strong winds could accompany the showers in these districts, according to the department. Moderate rain with thunderstorms is likely in Tiruchirappalli, Namakkal, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirupattur, Dindigul, Madurai and Virudhunagar. Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts could also receive moderate showers accompanied by thunder and lightning. The forecast indicates that rainfall will extend beyond the western districts, covering parts of central and southern Tamil Nadu. However, the intensity is expected to vary, with heavy rain predicted for the three western districts and moderate showers for the other districts mentioned by the department. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, light to moderate rain is likely at a few places. Similar conditions are expected in Puducherry and Karaikal, where the department has forecast light to moderate showers. For Chennai, the forecast points to a chance of light rain during the evening or night. The city is therefore expected to see milder rainfall than the heavy showers predicted in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode. The departments outlook for the capital is limited to the possibility of light showers later in the day. It has not indicated heavy rainfall for Chennai in the forecast provided. Thursdays weather outlook highlights differing conditions across the region, ranging from heavy rain with strong winds in western Tamil Nadu to thunderstorms in several inland and southern districts and lighter showers elsewhere. The trough passing through the state is the weather feature associated with the expected rainfall. The department has linked the likelihood of heavy rain in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode to its influence. While rain is possible across several districts, the forecast does not suggest uniform rainfall throughout Tamil Nadu. It identifies particular districts for heavier or thunderstorm activity and predicts scattered light to moderate showers in the remaining areas.
