Stalin to visit Coimbatore today for Periyar library felicitation

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 4 (IANS) DMK president and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will visit Coimbatore on Wednesday to participate in a felicitation programme organised by the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) in recognition of his contribution to establishing the Rs 300-crore Periyar Arivulagam Library and Science Centre. The visit, his first to Coimbatore since the DMK's defeat in the 2026 Assembly elections, comes as the party attempts to rebuild its organisational strength following a major electoral setback that ended its tenure in government. The DMK suffered a significant reversal in the elections, losing power to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led alliance headed by actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay. Stalin himself suffered a major personal setback, losing the Kolathur Assembly constituency in Chennai, a seat he had represented since 2011. His defeat added to the political challenges confronting the DMK leadership following the election. During Wednesday's visit, Stalin will lay the foundation stone for a new integrated DMK district office on a 50-cent plot at Neelambur along Avinashi Road in Coimbatore. The foundation-stone ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. and is expected to be attended by senior party functionaries and district-level leaders. The Periyar Arivulagam Library and Science Centre, constructed on Nanjappa Road in Gandhipuram at an estimated cost of Rs 300 crore during the previous DMK administration, was recently inaugurated by Chief Minister Vijay. The Dravidar Kazhagam has organised the felicitation to acknowledge Stalin's role in developing the institution and naming it after social reformer E.V. Ramasamy, popularly known as Periyar. Stalin is scheduled to address the gathering at VOC Grounds in Coimbatore on Wednesday evening. Elaborate arrangements are underway at the venue, where a large stage and pavilion are being erected. DMK and Dravidar Kazhagam flags have been installed along major stretches of Avinashi Road. Thousands of DMK workers and supporters are expected to attend the programme, with party leaders planning a reception for Stalin. He is expected to arrive in Coimbatore from Chennai in the morning and return by air around 8.30 p.m. The visit is politically significant as the DMK seeks to consolidate its cadre base and regain momentum after losing the 2026 Assembly elections.

TN: Heavy rain forecast for Theni, Coimbatore

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 4 (IANS) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall in Theni and Coimbatore districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, as the severe cyclonic storm 'Murasu' weakened after crossing the southern Andhra Pradesh coast near Ongole. According to the weather department, the severe cyclonic storm, which was positioned over the west-central Bay of Bengal on November 2, moved north-northwestwards before making landfall between Nellore and Narsapur, close to Ongole, between 3.30 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. on November 3. Following landfall, the system continued moving north-northwestwards and gradually lost intensity. It weakened into a cyclonic storm and subsequently into a deep depression as it moved further inland. Although the cyclone has weakened considerably, its associated atmospheric conditions are expected to influence rainfall activity across several parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days. The IMD has predicted heavy rainfall at isolated places in Theni and Coimbatore districts on Wednesday, while several other parts of the state are likely to receive light to moderate showers. In Chennai, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy, with moderate rainfall likely in certain parts of the city. The weather department has indicated that rainfall activity may vary across different localities depending on prevailing atmospheric conditions. For Thursday, the IMD has forecast heavy rainfall in Madurai, Theni and Dindigul districts. Other parts of Tamil Nadu are expected to experience moderate rainfall. The latest forecast indicates that rainfall activity will remain concentrated in parts of western and southern Tamil Nadu, particularly districts adjoining the Western Ghats, where local weather conditions could contribute to heavier showers. The weakening of Murasu marks a significant change in the weather system that had earlier posed a threat to the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. However, meteorological officials have cautioned that the dissipation of a cyclonic storm does not necessarily mean an immediate end to rainfall associated with the system. Residents in areas forecast to receive heavy rainfall have been advised to remain alert to subsequent weather bulletins, particularly in vulnerable low-lying locations. The IMD is expected to continue monitoring atmospheric conditions and issuing district-specific rainfall forecasts as the system weakens further over land.

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 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.

National Racing Challenge 2W: Double delight for Sabu, Senthil, Anandhu; Chiranth roars to another win

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.

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.
