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.

14 killed in lightning strikes in Tamil Nadu since onset of monsoon; tourists barred from hill station

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 26 (IANS) Fourteen people have died in lightning strikes across Tamil Nadu since the onset of the Northeast monsoon, Minister Sengottaiyan said after reviewing the heavy rain situation and rescue operations in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore districts with officials in Chennai. Speaking to reporters following a meeting at the Emergency Operations Centre, the minister said precautionary restrictions had been imposed in the Nilgiris, Kodaikanal and Yercaud. Tourists have been barred from visiting these hill destinations, with access permitted only for essential purposes. The review focused on the impact of continuing heavy rainfall in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, along with rescue work and measures taken to restore normal life in affected areas. Officials discussed the situation with the minister at the emergency centre. Sengottaiyan said water that had accumulated following heavy downpours in Coimbatore and the Nilgiris had been cleared. The removal of stagnant rainwater had helped restore normal life for residents in the affected areas, he told reporters. The minister also said financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh had been provided to the family of a driver who died after being caught in a landslide in the Nilgiris. He referred to the payment while outlining the governments response to the rains impact. On monsoon fatalities, Sengottaiyan said the 14 deaths reported since the season began were caused by thunderstorm-related lightning strikes. The figure he cited concerned lightning deaths and was not presented as a comprehensive count of fatalities from all rain-related incidents across the state. He said the government was providing clear information about the rainfall situation. His remarks came during the briefing on the review of conditions in the two western districts and the steps being taken in response to the downpour. The restrictions on travel to the hill regions form part of the precautionary measures announced by the authorities. Sengottaiyan said permission was being granted only for essential activities, while tourist visits to the Nilgiris, Kodaikanal and Yercaud remained prohibited. His briefing covered both the restoration of normal life in places where accumulated water had been removed and the continuing precautions in hill areas. While reporting improvement in the affected parts of Coimbatore and the Nilgiris, the minister made clear that restrictions on tourist access were among the measures in place as authorities responded to the heavy rainfall and its consequences.

Red alert for Theni, Dindigul, Madurai amid heavy rain forecast for TN

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) A red alert has been issued for Theni, Dindigul and Madurai districts, with the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasting extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places on Sunday as the northeast monsoon remains vigorous over Tamil Nadu. The three districts could receive more than 20 centimetres of rain at one or two locations, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds. The warning comes amid widespread rainfall across the state and the strengthening of a weather system over the Bay of Bengal. An orange alert has also been issued for Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukkottai, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Tiruchi, Karur, the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Sivaganga districts, besides the Karaikal region. These areas are likely to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall with thunder and lightning. The forecast places southern districts under particular scrutiny, while several central, delta, and western districts also face the prospect of intense rainfall. The alerts indicate that the severity of rain is expected to vary across the affected regions. According to the weather departments report, the Nilgiris recorded exceptionally heavy rainfall during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Saturday. Burliar registered the highest rainfall of 25 centimetres, followed by Lower Kotagiri Estate with 20 centimetres and Coonoor with 17 centimetres. The substantial rainfall in the hill district adds to concerns over the continuing monsoon spell, with further heavy rain forecast for the Nilgiris and neighbouring western districts covered by the orange alert. Meanwhile, the low-pressure area over the east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area on Saturday and subsequently developed into a depression, the department said. The system is expected to move west-northwestwards and strengthen into a deep depression on Sunday. It could intensify further into a cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by Monday morning. Thereafter, the weather system is likely to continue moving west-northwestwards and reach the west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast by the morning of October 28. The forecast describes the systems expected movement and intensification over the sea. It does not specify a landfall location or time. With the northeast monsoon active and the Bay of Bengal system gathering strength, the departments latest forecast points to another spell of intense rain across multiple parts of Tamil Nadu on Sunday.

Five-day fishing ban from today as TN braces for heavy rain

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) Fishermen have been prohibited from venturing into the sea for five days from Sunday following a warning about a possible cyclonic storm developing over the Bay of Bengal, while heavy rain and gusty winds are forecast across several parts of Tamil Nadu. The restriction will remain in force until October 29. The Chennai weather departments forecast indicates that rainfall will be widespread initially, with conditions expected to improve over much of the state towards the end of the period.

The bulletin also referred to an atmospheric circulation extending from the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining Lakshadweep region towards the northern Tamil Nadu coast through Kerala, at approximately 1.5 kilometres above sea level. Heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and winds reaching 40-50 kmph is likely at isolated places in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Perambalur, Ariyalur and Tiruchirappalli districts during the initial phase of the forecast. Several other interior and coastal districts, including Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Cuddalore, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam, could also receive rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Similar conditions are forecast for Puducherry and Karaikal. On Monday, isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram and Pudukkottai districts, along with thunderstorms, lightning and winds of 40-50 kmph. Heavy rainfall is also forecast at isolated places in several districts, including Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Erode, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Virudhunagar, Thoothukudi, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Kallakurichi, Cuddalore and Tiruvannamalai. Puducherry and Karaikal could experience similar weather. Other parts of Tamil Nadu may receive moderate rainfall at some places, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds. Rainfall is expected to ease on October 27, with isolated light to moderate showers likely in Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Ramanathapuram. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, isolated light rain is forecast. On October 28 and 29, isolated light to moderate rainfall is likely over the state's southern coastal districts. Generally, dry weather is expected across the remaining parts of the state and in Puducherry also during these two days.

Schools closed in six taluks of Nilgiris district in TN; Coimbatore bars special classes amid rain

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 24 (IANS) Schools in six taluks of the Nilgiris district were declared closed on Saturday following rain since Friday night, as wet weather continued across several parts of Tamil Nadu. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya issued the order covering all schools in Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Kotagiri, Kundah, Gudalur and Pandalur taluks. The holiday was announced in view of the continuing rainfall in these areas. In neighbouring Coimbatore district, the Collector announced a holiday for all categories of schools and directed managements against conducting special classes on Saturday. The instruction was issued amid forecasts of heavy rain, with schools told not to bring students in for additional teaching sessions. The directive applies to all types of schools across the district, the announcement said. The announcements came as rain affected the western districts and several central and southern parts of the State, bringing waterlogging to roads and disrupting travel in some localities. According to the weather information cited in the report, a low-pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal. The weather department indicated that the system could strengthen into a cyclone and move towards the Andhra PradeshOdisha coast, while Tamil Nadu could experience heavy rainfall. In Pudukkottai, heavy showers lashed urban areas for more than half an hour, bringing a marked change in the weather and cooler conditions. Tiruchirappalli city and its suburbs also received heavy rain. Water accumulated on several roads, making movement difficult for motorists and slowing traffic through affected stretches. The downpour left commuters negotiating waterlogged sections as rain continued across the region. Thanjavur witnessed a sudden spell of rain in the evening after a sunny morning. The showers brought relief to farmers, who welcomed the rainfall and its potential contribution to groundwater recharge. Rain in different parts of Karur Corporation similarly brought cooler conditions. However, overflowing rainwater on roads in Pallapatti caused inconvenience to residents and road users. In Theni district, widespread showers were reported from Andipatti, Bodinayakanur, Periyakulam and Cumbum. Thick fog covered the Bodimettu hill road, reducing visibility along the mountain stretch. Rain was also reported across the western belt, including the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, prompting the school-related announcements. The Nilgiris order specifically covered the six named taluks, while Coimbatores announcement included an express instruction that special classes should not be held during the holiday.
