Killing at least 13 persons, a high intensity bomb blast in a slow moving car near the Red Fort in New Delhi has rocked the country and a terror angle is being probed. About 27 years ago, 60 kg of gelatin explosives planted in an abandoned car at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu were removed after four nerve-wracking days and detonated.
DMKs protest against SIR only to divert people from its failures, says Nirmala Sitharaman
COIMBATORE (Tamil Nadu), Nov 11: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday lashed out at the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu for staging protests against SIR, and claimed this was meant only to divert peoples attention from its failures. Chief Minister M K Stalin was giving the impression that the Special Intensive Revision was new and a conspiracy by the BJP government. But SIR was conducted ten times before 2000 and thrice after 2000, she said. Why this agitation now, [] The post DMKs protest against SIR only to divert people from its failures, says Nirmala Sitharaman appeared first on Daily Excelsior .

Palakkad man weaves a new trend for looming election season in Kerala
PALAKKAD: Its all about making a political style statement! Every election in Kerala comes with its own share of colour, creativity, and conversation. From catchy slogans to quirky campaigns, the states political theatre has always had room for idiosyncracies. And with this seasons poll fever catching on, a 40-year-old handloom entrepreneur from Palakkad has pieced together a stitch for democracy. Meet Gireesh Ayyathodi, a resident of Marayamangalam, whose latest creation handloom mundu (traditional Kerala dhoti) bordered with the emblems of political parties has taken both the online and offline worlds by storm. What began as a playful experiment has turned into a viral sensation, with his videos garnering over 1.4 million views across Facebook and Instagram over just a couple of days and orders pouring in from across the country. I never imagined it would become such a hit, says Gireesh, his voice still carrying the excitement of unexpected success. There are people who wear dhotis with borders featuring religious deities. I thought why not bring politics into it this time? Elections are like festivals here, and I wanted to weave that spirit into our attire. Gireeshs journey from a Gulf expatriate in Kuwait to a trend-setting handloom innovator is the kind of story that resonates deeply on Keralas socio-economic fabric. Having returned home during the pandemic with no job in hand, he opened a small handloom shop near his home a venture powered by family support, local goodwill, and quiet determination. The business did not extinguish the dairy farmer in Gireesh, a reminder that resilience often finds its roots in rural enterprise. The idea for the mundu hit as the state set the stage of the upcoming election season. The first batch, featuring CPM, Congress, BJP, and IUML emblems, flew off the shelves within days. Now, people are calling from different parts of the country. I have received orders from CPI supporters and even a few independent candidates. These are single mundu priced at Rs 200 apiece. I sell my normal single mundu for Rs 150. The printing is done at a unit in Coimbatore, ensuring that each piece maintains both the quality of traditional handloom and modern flair, Gireesh added. As political fervour gathers momentum, Gireeshs creation has already turned into a fashionable form of political expression a fusion of identity, ideology, and style. In a state that takes both its politics and its aesthetics seriously, his colourful pieces of mundu have become much more than mere clothing.
AIADMK moves Supreme Court in support of SIR of Tamil Nadu electoral rolls
NEW DELHI: A day before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a plea of the DMK challenging the decision of the Election Commission (EC) to conduct the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK has filed a plea in the apex court supporting the exercise, which was confirmed by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday while speaking to the media in Coimbatore. The AIADMK has petitioned the top court seeking to be impleaded in the DMKs plea challenging the SIR in TN, said Palaniswami. In the petition, the AIADMK termed the SIR as a legitimate, valid and necessary exercise to uphold the sanctity of elections and prevent voter fraud. This is to ensure the rule of law is upheld in the electoral process, it stated. Meanwhile, the CPI(M) too has moved the apex court against the SIR in TN. A two-judge bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi is likely to hear the petitions on Tuesday. Notably, the AIADMK is the first political party to approach the top court in support of the SIR. The AIADMK in its petition submitted that TN has 234 assembly constituencies, each of which reportedly has thousands of duplicate or ineligible entries in the voters list. The AIADMK stated that as one of the two major political parties in TN, it would be at the receiving end if the revision is not conducted properly in its true letter and spirit since the continuance of inaccurate, inflated, or manipulated electoral rolls disproportionately affects electoral outcomes and undermines the level playing field essential to democratic elections. The AIADMK plea further stated that the failure to conduct the SIR would distort the representative mandate of the electorate, alleging that thousands of ineligible or duplicate entries continue to exist on electoral rolls. It stated that such defects also result in the exclusion of genuine voters, thereby violating the constitutional principle of electoral equality. CPM approaches top court The CPI(M) petition, filed by party state secretary P Shanmugam, sought quashing of the ECIs order (October 27, 2025), which mandated completion of the SIR exercise within a month. The EC move is arbitrary, illegal, and unconstitutional, the petition alleged. In Coimbatore, Palaniswami also told reporters that they have moved the SC to convey the truth to the people of TN to implement SIR as the DMK leaders would purposefully register false information in the court. Why is the DMK government scared of implementing SIR in TN, and the DMK is purposefully creating confusion, as if voters rights will be lost if SIR is implemented. It is condemnable. SIR was conducted eight times in the state, but DMK leader M K Stalin was not scared at that time. The reason why Stalin fears SIR is that the party cant register fake votes due to various reasons, including voters who have already died, and thats why he repeatedly spreads false information about it, said EPS.

Ekm-Bengaluru Vande Bharat, Keralas 3rd, chugs off today
KOCHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the new Vande Bharat Express to Kerala -- between Ernakulam Junction and KSR Bengaluru -- through videoconferencing on Saturday. The main event will be held at the Banaras railway station in Uttar Pradesh, from where the Prime Minister will flag off four Vande Bharat services -- Banaras-Khajuraho, Lucknow Jn-Saharanpur, and Firozpur Cantt-Delhi, besides the Ernakulam-Bengaluru train. This will be the third Vande Bharat service for Kerala and the first inter-state Vande Bharat service linking Kerala with Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, a Railways spokesperson said. With the introduction of the service, 12 pairs of Vande Bharat trains will serve the Southern Railway jurisdiction. The new Vande Bharat Express will provide seamless connectivity between Bengaluru and Ernakulam. This train traverses major cities of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, including Thrissur, Palakkad, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Erode, and Salem, before reaching Krishnarajapuram and KSR Bengaluru. The service will greatly benefit IT professionals, businessmen, and students, among others, the spokesperson said. The function at Varanasi will be live-streamed at the Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Erode, and Salem stations. Elected representatives, other dignitaries, students, passengers, and the general public will participate in the event. The train will be accorded a warm reception at all the stations, the spokesperson added.

Laptop and mobile phone among 39 items prohibited in KSRTC courier service
KOCHI: As many as 39 items, including common electronic items like mobile phone and laptop, have been included in the list of prohibited items in the KSRTC courier service after the corporation recently entrusted the operations to an Andhra Pradesh-based company. Though consumers argue that there is no logic in prohibiting such items, KSRTC has said that the changes are part of heightened safety measures and an effort to prevent fraudulent practices. The changes are being incorporated as part of a new software being introduced to manage courier operations, based on the requirements put forth by the company, a senior KSRTC official said. Singhu Solutions is also running the courier service of APSRTC, which enjoys an annual turnover of Rs 200 crore from the service. Launched in mid-2023, the KSRTC courier operations were fully managed by the state entity until a couple of months ago. The venture turned highly profitable as the corporation promised delivery anywhere in Kerala within 16 hours. There was no restriction on couriering items, though the management stopped accepting perishable goods like fish and vegetables after some time. While we agree with the inclusion of many of the prohibited, theres little logic in avoiding laptops and mobile phones. Many, especially those working in IT hubs like Infopark, depended on the fast service to retrieve such items that are at times left behind, rued Raghunandan R, a techie working at Infopark and a native of Thodupuzha. Unlike in the past, the new software now mandates that customers provide details like the items value and sign documents at the counter. Recipients must also produce proper identity cards, with an additional option for staff to photograph them to prevent fraud. The official noted that the ban on mobile phones was specifically included after it came to their attention that the service was being used to ship imported items, such as iPhones from Dubai, to evade GST. If formal complaints are received regarding the ban on items like laptops, the corporation would pursue the matter with the AP-based company, he said. KSRTC eyeing rise in revenue Meanwhile, sources indicated that the revenue from the courier service has witnessed a fall since the handover, but KSRTC authorities remain confident in a rebound within three to six months. They attribute the initial decline to the companys inexperience in the region. The corporation is eyeing a three-fold increase in revenue overall from the parcel and courier venture by entrusting the operations to the private party. Currently, the service generates an average monthly revenue of I50 lakh, with the Vyttila Mobility Hub counter being the top performer at I30 lakh per month. The corporation pays a commission of 19.85% to Singhu Solutions, which remits the entire revenue to the former. We previously spent 35 to 40% of the revenue on expenses, including staff salaries. Now, the new company will be responsible for meeting all those expenses. To ensure accountability, the contractor faces penalties of I50 for misdirected parcels and I500 plus the items shipment value for damaged or missing parcels, the official said. As part of its plan to increase efficiency and revenue, Singhu Solutions aims to introduce pick-up and door-delivery services, a long-standing customer demand. Initially, they plan to make deliveries within a 10-km radius of the collection centres. The KSRTC, which currently has 46 dedicated parcel counters in the state and an outstation centre in Coimbatore, also has plans to expand the service by starting courier counters in Karnataka.

Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat launch likely on November 7; Railway Board announces timings
KOCHI: In happy news for hundreds of students, techies, and businesspersons based in Bengaluru, the new Vande Bharat Express train between Ernakulam Junction and KSR Bengaluru will begin services next week, with the official inauguration tentatively slated for November 7. According to the schedule announced by the Railway Board on October 31, train no 26651 Bengaluru-Ernakulam Vande Bharat Express will depart from KSR Bengaluru at 5.10am and reach Ernakulam Junction at 1.50pm. In the return direction, train no 26652 will leave Ernakulam Junction at 2.20pm to reach KSR Bengaluru at 11pm. The daily train, which will take eight-and-a-half hours to cover the distance, will have only two stops in Kerala -- Thrissur and Palakkad. The Vande Bharat from Bengaluru will arrive at Palakkad at 11.28am and Thrissur at 12.28pm. En route to Bengaluru, the train will reach Thrissur at 3.17pm and Palakkad at 4.35pm. The train will also stop at Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Erode, Salem and Jolarpettai in Tamil Nadu and at Krishnarajapuram in Karnataka. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is tentatively slated to inaugurate the four new Vande Bharat trains virtually, including the Bengaluru-Ernakulam train, on November 7. A special service for VIPs and dignitaries will be conducted from Ernakulam to Bengaluru on the day. The date of commencement of regular commercial operations will be announced later, a senior railway official said. This will be the third Vande Bharat Express operating through Kerala and the fourth to be operated by the Thiruvananthapuram division, the official added. The new Vande Bharat train will have an operating speed of 160km per hour, subject to track conditions. The fare will be lower than that of the Special Vande Bharat service briefly operated in the section last year. The Vande Bharat from Bengaluru will arrive at Palakkad at 11.28am and Thrissur at 12.28pm. Slight change in timing sought Earlier, the special Vande Bharat tri-weekly service on the route ran to almost full capacity, but the Railways discontinued the same reportedly due to the development work at Cantonment and KSR Bengaluru stations. Ernakulam-Bengaluru is a premium, high-demand route. In future, the journey time is set to be reduced further with the introduction of the automatic signalling system in the section. Plenty of technology professionals and students from Kerala are based in Bengaluru. And now, with most of the companies extending the work from home facility, their travelling needs have increased hugely, having to report at the office two or three days a week. At the same time, demands have risen to tweak the timing of the service to ensure metro connectivity. The train is scheduled to reach Bengaluru at 11pm, when the last metro would have left. Similarly, the passengers will find it difficult to reach the station so early (5.10am) to catch the train to Ernakulam. The Railways should consider these aspects too, said P Krishna Kumar of the Thrissur Railway Passengers Association.

GUWAHATI: Fans could not hold back their tears, both inside and outside theatre halls, after watching Roi Roi Binale , the last film featuring music icon Zubeen Garg, who died under mysterious circumstances while swimming in the sea in Singapore on September 19. The movie, directed by Rajesh Bhuyan and released on Friday, ran to packed houses across Assam and broke all opening day records, with most theatre halls scheduling up to five shows a day. The screening started as early as 4.25 am at several theatres. Tickets for all shows for the first week were sold out, and fans had booked the first three days tickets within an hour last week. The state is still grieving Gargs untimely demise, and there was an outpouring of emotion as fans thronged single-screen and multiplex theatres. In viral videos, some were seen seated long after shows were over, sobbing. As a mark of silent tribute, several theatre halls kept one seat reserved for Garg, 52. Roi Roi Binale was his dream project. For the first time in the history of Assamese films, a movie is being released in different parts of the country. It was screened in Patna, Ranchi, Dhanbad, Darjeeling, Gangtok, Mysore, Vellore, Visakhapatnam, Coimbatore, Dehradun, Lucknow, Jaipur, Vapi (Gujarat), Indore, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Raniganj, Maldah, Siliguri, Agartala, Dharmanagar, Cooch Behar, Raipur and Nagpur, said Siddharth Goenka, the films distributor. As a mark of silent tribute, several theatre halls kept one seat reserved for Garg, 52. Roi Roi Binale was his dream project. In cities like Bengaluru, Assamese films were earlier screened in only one or two theatres, but this time, it premiered in 17 theatres simultaneously. There will be 600 shows daily in Assam and the rest of the Northeast alone, which is unprecedented. Outside the Northeast, 96 halls would screen the movie with 170 shows daily, Goenka added. The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), a constituent of Assams ruling coalition, booked all 218 seats for a show at a multiplex in Guwahati. AGP ministers Atul Bora and Keshab Mahanta watched the film along with party leaders and workers. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said he would watch it privately. If I go to a cinema hall, it will cause inconvenience to people as I will be accompanied by my security personnel, he said. Garg plays the lead role of a blind musician in Roi Roi Binale , a musical love story that recounts the life and struggle of a visually impaired artist who experiences the world through sound, imagination and love. The film features 11 songs, all composed by Garg himself.
