Bus fares, airfares soar in TN ahead of Ayudha Puja holiday rush
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 15 (IANS) Passengers travelling out of Chennai for the Ayudha Puja holidays face sharply higher transport costs, with private omni bus fares rising several times above normal levels and airfares surging on several routes. The four-day holiday stretch begins with the weekend on October 17 and 18, followed by Ayudha Puja on October 19 and Vijayadashami on October 20. With train reservations already full, many residents heading to their hometowns are seeking seats on buses and flights. Passengers complained that the omni bus fares from Chennai to southern districts and other destinations had increased substantially ahead of the festive rush, making travel increasingly expensive for those yet to book tickets. On the Chennai-Kanyakumari route, tickets normally priced between Rs 800 and Rs 1,200 are now being quoted at Rs 3,420. Fares to Tirunelveli have risen from around Rs 1,300 to Rs 3,000, while those to Madurai have increased from Rs 800 to Rs 2,500. For Chennai-Coimbatore services, fares usually ranging between Rs 600 and Rs 1,000 have climbed to Rs 3,500, adding to the financial burden on holiday travellers. Air passengers are also facing steep increases, particularly for departures on October 16 and 17, when demand is building ahead of the extended break. Chennai-Madurai flight tickets available at approximately Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,500 for October 16 are being quoted between Rs 12,026 and Rs 18,626 for October 17. Fares on the Chennai-Coimbatore route, normally around Rs 3,500 to Rs 4,500, have reached approximately Rs 11,000 for October 16 and 17. Tickets to Thoothukudi, usually costing between Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,500, are now priced from Rs 11,736 to Rs 13,626. Chennai-Kolkata fares have increased from the usual Rs 6,000-Rs 7,000 range to Rs 14,117. The increase extends to shorter routes within Tamil Nadu. Chennai-Tiruchirappalli tickets, normally priced between Rs 2,300 and Rs 3,500, are being quoted at Rs 6,500 to Rs 9,500 for October 16 and 17. On the Chennai-Salem route, fares have risen from approximately Rs 1,900-Rs 3,800 to between Rs 5,600 and Rs 12,000. ' The simultaneous increase in bus and flight prices has left passengers with limited affordable options, particularly as the full train bookings reduce alternatives for families planning to travel together during the consecutive holidays and festival celebrations across Tamil Nadu and other popular destinations.

AI skills redraw entry-level jobs map
Indias IT-BPM sector is set to revive fresher hiring after a sharp contraction, but the recovery is rewiring the skills companies seek in graduates.Fresher hiring in the sector is projected to rise to up to 2.1 lakh in FY27, after falling to an estimated 1.75 lakh in FY26 from 4 lakh in FY22, according to technology consulting and talent advisory firm HAN Digitals IT-BPM Graduate Hiring Outlook 2027.However, demand is increasingly shifting towards artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data engineering, cybersecurity and other specialised technology roles, away from conventional entry-level coding and business process outsourcing jobs.IT Services players will remain the largest employers of the sectors freshers, accounting for about 60% of hires, though growth now will be concentrated in AI-adjacent and specialised roles.GCCs are the fastest-growing channel, expected to recruit 28% of talent as they expand intake into Tier II/III cities. Pure-play BPOs share keeps shrinking, mirroring the shift from routine execution to specialised, AI-adjacent work.The rise in fresher hiring reflects a structural reset in how IT services firms are building their talent pyramid, said Saravanan Balasundaram, CEO, HAN Digital Solution.As system integrators and IT Service providers sign more AI, data engineering and AI-enabled deals with existing and new clients, the bench capacity reduced by layoffs over the last few years can no longer absorb the demand, he said. At the same time, new AI roles in data engineering, AI testing, annotation and model operations are opening up at the base of the pyramid, where AI-ready graduates can be skilled and deployed at scale, while mid-level hiring in the four+ years band remains under cost and productivity pressure.The shift is changing expectations from new recruits. As AI tools take over parts of routine coding, testing and repetitive tasks, employers increasingly want graduates who can work with AI systems, validate their outputs and apply technology to business problems.The skillsets that companies are hiring for are definitely changing, said Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP, Nasscom. Its much more focused on AI capabilities there are new jobs that are also opening up with data centres coming up.The traditional model of bulk hiring, six months of training and deployment is also changing. The new kind of freshers companies need are AI-native, she said.This change is also visible in salaries. Freshers with AI-allied skills can command significantly higher pay, indicating that employers are increasingly paying for specialised skills rather than graduate headcount alone.Indias Tier-1 IT Services players 2027 fresher model offers Rs 1222 lakh for select specialised engineers in AI, data engineering, cybersecurity and enterprise tech as the premium shifts toward specialised technology capability, found the report.This would never happen in the past, said Gupta, citing Infosys plan to offer up to Rs 21 lakh for certain specialised tech roles. Entry-level salaries across ITeS meanwhile have largely stagnated at Rs 3-4 lakh for years.Recruitment geography is widening too. Bengaluru remains the leading fresher destination, accounting for an estimated 25% of onboarding, followed by Delhi-NCR at 17%, Hyderabad at 16%, Chennai at 15% and Mumbai and Pune at 10% each. Yet, Tier 2/3 corridors are outpacing metro growth, albeit on a smaller base, at 35% year-on-year.Coimbatore, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Ahmedabad, and Visakhapatnam are attracting freshers via local GCC centres and IT services players seeking lower-cost talent pools beyond major metros.
Heavy rain forecast for four TN districts today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 14 (IANS) Heavy rain is likely in four southern districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, the Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai said, as a low-pressure system persists over the southwest Bay of Bengal. Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari are expected to receive heavy rainfall during the day. The weather system, described in the bulletin as extending from the central Bay of Bengal towards the southwest Bay, is influencing rainfall across parts of the state. The forecast also indicates moderate rain in several northern, coastal, central and western districts on Wednesday, with Chennai among the areas likely to receive showers. Some parts of the capital could experience moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. Chennais maximum temperature is expected to reach around 34 degrees Celsius. The forecast points to rainfall in some localities rather than uniform conditions across the city, with thunderstorms possible alongside the showers throughout the day, according to the weather centre. Other districts identified for moderate rainfall include Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam and Pudukkottai. Rain is also expected in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Theni, Dindigul, Virudhunagar, Tenkasi, Perambalur and Ariyalur. The rainfall outlook for Thursday covers a wider geographical area, with heavy showers forecast in parts of southern Tamil Nadu, the western belt and several districts in the central region.

Kanyakumari, Madurai, Dindigul, Tiruppur, Coimbatore and the Nilgiris are also included in Thursdays heavy-rain forecast. Further inland, the districts of Erode, Salem, Namakkal and Karur could receive heavy showers, according to the outlook. The forecast extends to Tiruchirappalli, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Pudukkottai and Nagapattinam, indicating that rainfall activity could affect both inland districts and sections of the coastal belt on Thursday. The two-day outlook shows a shift from heavy rainfall concentrated in four southern districts on Wednesday to a broader spread of heavy showers on Thursday. Meanwhile, moderate rainfall is expected across several other parts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday. For Chennai, the immediate forecast remains moderate rain with possible thunder and lightning in some areas. Elsewhere, the intensity of rainfall is expected to vary by district, with the southern districts facing the principal heavy-rain spell on Wednesday and a larger group of districts included in the following days weather outlook.

Rain, gusty winds forecast in TN; Northeast monsoon likely to begin around October 15
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 12 (IANS) Moderate rain is likely in parts of Tamil Nadu on Monday, with the weather department forecasting thunderstorms and gusty winds across several districts, even as northern interior areas may experience temperatures above normal. The Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Erode, Madurai and Salem are among the districts where moderate rainfall is expected during the day. A weather department bulletin also indicated the possibility of light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder, lightning and strong winds at one or two places across a wider belt of the State. The districts covered by this forecast are the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Erode, Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi, Madurai, Sivaganga, Salem and Tiruppur. Wind speeds in affected areas could reach 40 to 50 kilometres per hour, according to the bulletin. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, as well as in Puducherry and Karaikal, light rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is likely at some places. The forecast points to varying rainfall conditions across the region, with moderate showers expected in selected districts and lighter rainfall in other areas. Despite the prospect of showers, maximum temperatures at some locations in northern interior Tamil Nadu could remain two to three degrees Celsius above normal. Temperatures elsewhere in the state, Puducherry and Karaikal are expected to stay close to their usual levels, the department said. Chennai is likely to have partly cloudy skies. The citys maximum temperature is expected to range between 35 and 36 degrees Celsius, while the minimum could settle between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, weather observer Pradeep John, a member of the El Nino Impact Study Group, has indicated that the northeast monsoon could begin next Thursday. His prediction comes as attention turns to the development of atmospheric conditions that could support the seasonal rains over Tamil Nadu. In a post on X, John said an atmospheric circulation moving towards the region adjoining Tamil Nadu was likely to create favourable conditions for the monsoons onset. His assessment concerns the possible arrival of the northeast monsoon, while the weather departments bulletin outlines the immediate outlook for rainfall, winds and temperatures. The Thursday onset remains a prediction rather than an officially confirmed onset date. For Monday, the main forecast is for scattered thunderstorms, gusty winds and differing rainfall intensity, alongside warmer conditions in parts of the northern interior.

Vijay urges PM Modi to review Madurai, Coimbatore Metro projects, expedite funding
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 11 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the Madurai and Coimbatore Metro rail proposals and expedite funding for transport infrastructure, while stressing that cooperation between the Centre and the State must deliver tangible benefits to people. Speaking at a function in Chennai where development projects worth Rs 13,000 crore were inaugurated and foundation stones laid, Vijay also sought priority for the proposed CauveryGodavari river-linking project. The Chief Minister welcomed PM Modi on behalf of the people of Tamil Nadu and thanked him for inaugurating the Chennai Metro rail project. He sought early Central funding for Chennai Metro Phase III, the HosurBengaluru Metro link and the Coimbatore and Madurai Metro projects. Vijay also referred to Rs 5,110 crore in funds for Tamil Nadu and called for action on the States infrastructure requirements. He urged the Prime Minister to facilitate interstate Metro connectivity, highlighting its importance to future development. Outlining his governments economic ambitions, Vijay said Tamil Nadu was working towards becoming a $1.5 trillion economy by 2036. Agriculture and information technology initiatives, alongside investment, innovation and infrastructure development, would help create opportunities and take the States growth to the next level, he said. The governments approach, he added, was to ensure that development extended beyond Chennai and reached every district. Describing young people as Tamil Nadus greatest strength, Vijay said the government wanted to combine their skills, technological knowledge and innovative thinking with a global outlook. Projects inaugurated and launched at the function should serve as investments for future generations, he said. The Chief Minister described Tamil Nadu as a State distinguished by its ancient culture, rich history, literature, arts and architecture. Its people continued to preserve a civilisation spanning thousands of years, with Tamil among the worlds oldest languages, he said. Vijay said his governments commitment to inclusive development covered education, healthcare, agriculture, fishermens welfare and broader economic progress. Welfare programmes were being implemented with the needs of children, women, transgender people, farmers, weavers and other sections of society in mind, he added. Recalling Tamil Nadus contributions to Indias advancement in industry, science, arts and literature, Vijay said cooperation between the Union and State governments should be measured by improvements in peoples lives, with economic growth translating into opportunities and welfare across the State.

TN: Leopard video sparks fear near Kotagiri in Nilgiris; residents seek action
Digital Desk | Nilgiris, Oct 11 (IANS) A leopard filmed walking through a residential neighbourhood in Orasolai village near Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district has triggered alarm among residents, who have appealed to the Forest Department to intervene and drive the animal back into the forest. The surveillance footage shows the leopard moving along a road in front of a house and continuing through the settlement. Its circulation on social media has heightened anxiety in the village, where residents say leopards and bears frequently venture into inhabited areas. Residents have sought action to prevent a dangerous encounter, pointing to the animals movement close to homes. The account of the latest sighting does not mention any injuries or an attack on people. The concern comes against the backdrop of fatal leopard attacks in Tamil Nadus plantation belts, particularly in the Nilgiris and Valparai, where several victims have been children from families of estate workers. In the Nilgiris, three-year-old Nancy was killed on January 6, 2024, at a tea estate in the Bitherkad forest range near Pandalur. She was returning home with her mother when the leopard attacked. The incident followed the death of Saritha, who suffered injuries in an attack at Elamanna on December 21, 2023, and died on December 29. Forest personnel subsequently captured a leopard linked to the Pandalur attacks and transferred it to the rescue centre at Arignar Anna Zoological Park near Chennai. Valparai in Coimbatore district has also witnessed fatal attacks. A girl identified as Apsara was killed at a tea estate in October 2024. In June 2025, four-year-old Roshini Kumari was taken by a leopard near her home at Pachamalai estate; her body was recovered the following morning after an extensive search. Another child, five-year-old Saiful Alam, was killed at Iyerpadi tea estate near Valparai in December 2025 while playing outside workers quarters. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, leopard attacks have affected livestock. In July 2025, a leopard killed two calves and injured another near Hasanur in Erode district, close to the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve. These incidents provide a troubling backdrop to the Orasolai sighting, although there is no evidence connecting the leopard in the video to any previous attack. The villagers appeal is for the Forest Department to address the animals presence near their homes and prevent an encounter that could endanger residents or the leopard.

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.
