Coimbatore prisoner who escaped custody twice questioned for second day
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 3 (IANS) A 25-year-old remand prisoner, who escaped from police custody twice within 24 hours before being arrested from the Sathyamangalam forest area in Erode district, was questioned by Coimbatore police for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The accused, Raghavan, also known as Kozikaran, is being interrogated by the Racecourse police to establish how he managed to evade security personnel and travel to the forest area after escaping from the premises of Coimbatore Central Prison. Police sources said investigators were examining whether Raghavan received assistance from anyone during his escape and subsequent movements. His statement has been recorded, and further questioning is underway to reconstruct the sequence of events. Raghavan was apprehended during a nighttime operation after a special police team located his hideout using drone surveillance. Following his escape, six special teams were constituted to trace him. The search extended across Erode and the Nilgiris districts, besides neighbouring Karnataka and Kerala. Acting on intelligence that he was hiding in the Sathyamangalam forest region, police intensified surveillance and deployed drone cameras to identify his location. The team surrounded the area and arrested him. Raghavan, a resident of the Sri Lankan Tamil Rehabilitation Centre at Bhavanisagar in Erode district, faces several criminal cases, including robbery and theft. The accused has a history of escaping from police custody. In June 2026, he reportedly escaped while being transported to Bengaluru. Police arrested him on October 30, but he managed to escape from Annur police station that evening. However, officers immediately pursued and apprehended him. Later that night, four police personnel, including a sub-inspector, escorted him to Coimbatore Central Prison for remand. While being taken into the prison premises, Raghavan allegedly assaulted the accompanying personnel and escaped once again, triggering a major security alert. The incident prompted authorities to suspend all four escorting police personnel for alleged negligence. A separate case was also registered in connection with the escape. Investigators are examining the circumstances that enabled the accused to repeatedly evade custody despite being under police escort. Police are expected to produce Raghavan before the jurisdictional court after completing the interrogation and make arrangements for his detention under enhanced security to prevent another escape.

TN reservoirs remain at 33.7 pc capacity despite widespread monsoon
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 3 (IANS) Despite widespread rainfall across Tamil Nadu following the intensification of the northeast monsoon, water levels in most reservoirs remain alarmingly low, raising concerns over water availability in the coming months. According to Water Resources Department officials, the state's 90 reservoirs collectively hold only 75.7 thousand-million cubic feet (TMC) of water, accounting for just 33.7 per cent of their combined storage capacity. Only three reservoirs have reached full capacity, while 43 have less than 25 per cent storage. Another 24 reservoirs reportedly have water levels below 50 per cent, highlighting the continuing impact of inadequate rainfall and prolonged heat. Although districts along the Western Ghats have received northeast monsoon showers over the past several days, rainfall has only recently become widespread across northern Tamil Nadu. However, the precipitation has yet to translate into a substantial improvement in reservoir storage. Water Resources Department officials attribute the situation primarily to prolonged dry weather and intense heat, which have left reservoir beds severely parched. An official associated with the Dam Protection Movement said the El Nio weather phenomenon had contributed to deficient southwest monsoon rainfall, resulting in a sharp decline in water levels across several reservoirs. As storage levels dropped, large stretches of reservoir beds became exposed. Persistent high temperatures subsequently dried the accumulated silt and soil, causing extensive cracks to develop. The rainfall currently being received is being absorbed rapidly by the dried-up reservoir beds. Consequently, there has been no significant increase in water storage, the official explained. He said sustained rainfall would be necessary to replenish moisture in the soil and improve groundwater conditions before substantial surface water accumulation could occur. Nevertheless, a few reservoirs have recorded encouraging storage levels. Reservoirs, including Gundar in Tenkasi, Mambazhathuraiyar in Kanniyakumari, Sothuparai in Theni, Sastha Koil and Kullursandai in Virudhunagar, and Varadhamanadhi in Dindigul, have reportedly crossed 95 per cent of their storage capacity. The Peruvaripallam reservoir, under the Coimbatore Water Resources Department's jurisdiction, has also recorded storage exceeding 95 per cent. Officials said the uneven distribution of reservoir storage underscores the need for sustained monsoon rainfall to restore water reserves across Tamil Nadu. With the northeast monsoon continuing, authorities are closely monitoring rainfall patterns and reservoir inflows to assess whether storage levels will improve in the coming weeks.

CM Vijay to distribute Rs 1,100 crore in welfare assistance to TN women self-help groups
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 3 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay will visit Perundurai in Erode district on Tuesday to distribute welfare assistance worth Rs 1,100 crore, including bank loans, to members of womens self-help groups (SHGs). Around 5,000 beneficiaries are expected to receive assistance during the programme. The Chief Minister will also inaugurate several development projects completed across Erode district as part of his visit, which comes amid the state governments efforts to strengthen womens economic empowerment and expand welfare initiatives. The event, originally scheduled to be held at a private engineering college in Perundurai, has been shifted to the Sri Lakshmi Narayana Marriage Hall near Kanchikovil division. District authorities have made elaborate arrangements for the programme, which is expected to attract a large gathering of beneficiaries, party workers and members of the public. Revenue Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan, Handlooms Minister M. Vijayabalaji, District Collector S. Kandasamy and Superintendent of Police Kiran Shruthi inspected the venue on Monday and reviewed preparations for the Chief Ministers visit. Speaking to reporters after the inspection, Sengottaiyan said CM Vijay would leave Chennai by air on Tuesday and arrive at Coimbatore airport before proceeding to Perundurai by road. He said the Chief Minister would distribute financial assistance under various welfare schemes, particularly benefiting women associated with self-help groups. The assistance package includes bank-linked loans intended to support livelihood activities and economic independence. MLAs Ananth Mohan (Erode West) and Shanmugam (Modakurichi), along with former Perundurai MLA Jayakumar, were among those present during the inspection. Meanwhile, extensive security arrangements have been made along the Chief Ministers travel route. Iron barricades have been erected on both sides of several roads to regulate crowds while allowing residents to greet CM Vijay during his journey. According to officials, the Chief Ministers convoy will pass through the Vijayamangalam toll plaza, SIPCOT entrance, Perundurai new bus stand, old bus stand, Kunnathur Four Roads and Anna Statue before reaching the venue. A large contingent of police personnel has been deployed across Perundurai and surrounding areas to ensure security, manage traffic and maintain order during the visit. District officials are coordinating with various departments to ensure the smooth conduct of the welfare distribution programme and the associated inauguration ceremonies.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 1 (IANS) In what turned out to be the race of the weekend, Chiranth Vishwanath, the 19-year-old from Bengaluru, held off his archrival and TVS Racing teammate, Sarthak Chavan of Pune, to complete a superb double in the premier Super Sport 301-400cc Open class as the third round of the Indian National Racing Challenge 2W 2026 concluded at the Madras International Circuit here on Sunday. The six-lap race, delayed by about 30 minutes following sharp showers in the afternoon, provided high drama and thrills as the countrys top riders battled it out. For a second day in succession, Chiranth held off Chavan to claim a memorable victory. Chiranth, winner of Race-1 on Saturday with a record lap time, Sarthak, and their younger teammate Rakshith Dave took turns to lead the pack. In fact, Rakshith looked set for a win when he led comfortably before almost slipping when negotiating a puddle of water, which cost him three spots, and he eventually finished fourth behind Thiruvallurs Mohamed Mikail (MadRabbit Racing). Up ahead, leader Sarthak and Chiranth were locked in a titanic fight. The decisive moment came in the closing stages when Chiranth roared past Sarthak, who had a 'moment' and lost position. The Bengaluru rider went on to register his second win of the weekend while Sarthak again had to be content with a P2 finish. Earlier, Bengalurus 19-year-old Savion Sabu delivered another strong performance as he led a maiden podium sweep for the MadRabbit Racing team besides achieving a double this weekend in the Pro-Stock 200cc Open class. Savion managed to stave off close attention from teammates Mohamed Mikail (Thiruvallur) and AS James (Bengaluru). Coimbatores Senthil Kumar (Rockers Racing) and Anandhu KK from Chennai (Veedol C2 Racing) completed a double apiece in the Super Stock 301-400cc Open and Super Stock 165cc Intermediate classes, respectively. Local challenger Venugopalan S. (Motul Sparks Racing) scored his first win in the extremely competitive Stock 301-400cc Novice class. The podium spots were up for grabs until the last lap when Venugopalan surged ahead, with Trichys Kavicholaiarasan (Speed Up Racing) and Shyam Sundar (M3 Torque Motorsports) finishing behind him in that order. Pothu Vignesh from Mancherial, Telangana, notched his third win in six starts to finish second and maintained his top position in the points tally in the Experts category. Bengalurus Dev Agastya Reddy finished second, ahead of Godwin Clarence from Coimbatore. The Indian National Racing Challenge 2W 2026 will take a two-month break and resume in January 2027.

Coimbatore prisoners escape triggers fresh row over Tamil Nadu jail security
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 31 (IANS ) An undertrial prisoner escaped from police custody while being escorted into Coimbatore Central Prison late on Friday night, triggering fresh criticism of Tamil Nadus prison security arrangements following similar incidents in Chennai and Theni. The prisoner, identified as Raghavan, had been arrested by Annur police in connection with a robbery case and sent to judicial custody by a local court. Police subsequently brought him to the Coimbatore prison complex to complete his admission. The escape occurred while officers were escorting him between the prisons two main security gates. His handcuffs were reportedly removed as he was being taken from the outer entrance towards the inner gate. Raghavan allegedly seized the opportunity to break away from his escorts and flee. Race Course police have registered a case and launched a search for him. The incident has brought the handling of prisoners during their transfer from police custody to prison authorities under scrutiny. This was reportedly Raghavans second attempt to evade custody. He had earlier escaped while being arrested in Annur but was caught shortly afterwards. His latest escape has intensified questions about the precautions taken by the personnel escorting him. The incident follows recent escapes at Puzhal Central Prison in Chennai and Thekkampatti Sub-Jail in Theni, prompting opposition leaders to demand accountability and stronger security measures across the states prisons. PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss condemned the repeated incidents and attributed the Coimbatore escape to negligence by security personnel. Describing such escapes as unacceptable, he demanded strict action against officials responsible for lapses. Ramadoss also urged the government to strengthen security arrangements at all prisons, citing the Chennai and Theni incidents as evidence of the need for corrective measures. AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticised the government in a post on X, comparing the succession of prisoner escapes to a television serial. He alleged that the administration had failed to prevent such incidents from recurring despite assurances about improved security. Palaniswami also questioned the effectiveness of official warnings, pointing out that the Coimbatore incident occurred just hours after the Chief Minister cautioned prison personnel against negligence. The opposition criticism centred on whether repeated warnings and promises were translating into effective safeguards. Both leaders pressed the government to address security failures, with Ramadoss specifically demanding disciplinary action and tighter measures statewide.

AIADMKs poll setbacks, internal rebellion loom over Nov 1 district secretaries meet
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 29 (IANS) AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has convened a meeting of district secretaries on November 1 amid mounting pressure over the partys defeat in the 2026 Assembly elections, fresh bypoll setbacks and an unresolved rebellion involving senior leaders. Although no agenda has been announced, the meeting assumes significance as the partys general council and executive committee must be convened by December. Discussions could indicate how the leadership intends to address demands for an organisational review and an assessment of successive electoral failures. The November 1 gathering will be the first meeting of district secretaries since the AIADMK finished third in the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly bypolls earlier this month. The losses were particularly damaging because the party had won both constituencies in the April Assembly elections. Those reverses compounded the disappointment of the Assembly polls, in which the AIADMK secured only 47 seats and failed to return to power. Its subsequent inability to retain the two constituencies has intensified dissent and renewed questions within the organisation about its electoral strategy and leadership. Senior functionaries, including former Ministers C.Ve. Shanmugam and S.P. Velumani, have been pressing for meetings of the partys decision-making bodies to discuss its continued defeats. Their demands have acquired greater significance following the latest results, with dissatisfied leaders stepping up consultations. The internal crisis erupted after the Assembly elections, when a group of 25 AIADMK legislators defied the leadership and supported the TVK government during the confidence vote in May. Palaniswami subsequently removed several dissenting leaders from organisational positions and appointed replacements to influential district posts. Although some senior leaders later received other responsibilities, their former district secretary positions were not restored. Velumani, for instance, was appointed deputy general secretary but did not regain control of the Coimbatore suburban south district unit. The changes left the dispute over district-level influence unresolved. The factional divide also surfaced during the bypoll campaign, with Shanmugam, Velumani and former minister P. Thangamani absent from the partys star-campaigner list. Their exclusion underscored the continuing differences between the leadership and dissident camp ahead of a crucial electoral test. Against this backdrop, attention will centre on whether Sundays meeting opens the way for a substantive review of the defeats and preparations for the general council. Any decisions on organisational responsibilities or reconciliation could shape the partys immediate response to its electoral and internal challenges.
