Airfares soar as Ayudha Puja holiday rush builds in Chennai
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 17 (IANS) A sharp rise in airfares ahead of the Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami holidays has left passengers travelling from Chennai facing higher expenses, as demand surges for journeys to hometowns and tourist destinations. With Ayudha Puja falling on October 19 and Vijayadashami on October 20, the adjoining weekend offers a four-day holiday break for many travellers. The extended holiday has prompted a rush out of the city, putting pressure on flights, trains and buses. Air ticket prices from Chennai to several destinations have increased manifold amid the holiday demand. Passengers heading to cities within Tamil Nadu, neighbouring states and major metropolitan centres are among those affected by the steep fares. Routes witnessing the increase include ChennaiThoothukudi, ChennaiCoimbatore and ChennaiSalem. Fares have also risen for flights to Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Vijayawada, affecting passengers travelling across southern India during the festive break. The surge extends to longer routes, with tickets from Chennai to Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata also becoming considerably more expensive. The increase across multiple destinations has added to the financial burden of passengers planning festive visits or short holidays. The holiday rush is visible across other modes of transport as well. Trains and buses leaving Chennai are experiencing heavy crowds, as large numbers of residents seek to reach their destinations ahead of the celebrations. For passengers considering air travel amid the crowded surface transport services, the higher ticket prices have made the journey more costly. The demand for flights coincides with the broader movement of people leaving Chennai for the extended break. The convergence of festival travel and weekend leisure trips has intensified the outward rush. While many passengers are returning to their native places to celebrate with relatives, others are using the consecutive holidays to visit tourist destinations. The fare increases affect both short domestic journeys and travel to distant cities, leaving passengers on a wide range of routes facing substantially higher ticket costs during the same holiday period. With crowds building on trains and buses and airfares climbing across several sectors, travellers leaving Chennai face a difficult combination of busy services and expensive flight tickets. The four-day break has concentrated demand into a short travel window, making the festive getaway a costly exercise for many passengers seeking to spend the holidays away from the city with family or friends.

CM Satheesan unveils land for equity plan to attract port investments
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 14 (IANS) Kerala plans to use government land as equity to attract investment in port development, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan told the Assembly on Wednesday. The proposal is part of Mission Samudra, a plan to develop the states ports and expand its maritime economy. The government also proposes to allow port concessions for up to 45 years to attract investors. Satheesan was speaking while introducing the Kerala Maritime Board (Amendment) Bill, 2026, which seeks to strengthen the Board and speed up decisions on port development. The proposed changes would bring the Chief Minister to the helm of the Board. Representatives of key departments, including Finance, Industries, Fisheries, Revenue and Law, would work together to resolve issues related to port projects. The government plans to mobilise funds through private investors, public sector companies, government-to-government partnerships, and transparent bidding. It hopes to use government land as its contribution to projects instead of meeting the entire investment cost from the state budget. The Bill also proposes a maritime land bank and the restoration of Port Area Development Authorities to plan and develop areas around ports. It seeks to provide a clearer legal framework for public-private partnership projects. The government wants to expand coastal shipping to carry goods such as oil, gas, chemicals, and other cargo. Satheesan said sea transport could cost around one-third of road transport, making it an attractive alternative for moving goods. The plan also includes cruise terminals at Kochi and Kozhikode, with possible passenger services connecting Kerala to destinations such as Goa, as well as Dubai, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. River cruises linking the states 44 rivers are envisaged in a later phase. Mission Samudra also aims to revive seafood exports, promote industries linked to ports and develop logistics parks, container stations, and warehouses. The government hopes these projects will create jobs and strengthen local businesses. The Chief Minister said Kerala would also encourage courses in logistics, maritime law and maritime history to prepare young people for jobs in the sector. The plan includes a proposed Rs 3,200 crore ring road linked to the development of Vizhinjam port. The government expects Mission Samudra to attract investment and turn Keralas coastline and ports into major centres of trade and economic activity.

Foreign links, crypto payments under scanner in Kerala synagogue arson case
Digital Desk | Kochi, Oct 14 (IANS) The arson attack near a Jewish synagogue in Kerala's Ernakulam is being investigated for possible international terror links after police found suspicious messages, foreign-linked communications and references to attacks in different Indian cities on the arrested accuseds mobile phone. Ebin Paul, 32, a native of Puthencruz, was arrested within hours of the October 12 incident in which a fire was set at Blossom Nursery, near the Kadavumbhagam Synagogue in Ernakulam Market. Police suspect that the accused acted on the instructions of a person he referred to as his boss. Preliminary investigations indicate that he was allegedly assigned targets, asked to carry out attacks and send video footage in return for payment. Investigators are examining information that he may have received money through cryptocurrency. The phone reportedly contained messages referring to Jewish places of worship and possible attacks in different cities. Communications with individuals having foreign links were also found, prompting Central agencies to examine whether the incident was part of a wider conspiracy. The accused allegedly arrived at the nursery in a blue car around 2.30 a.m., poured petrol and set fire to the premises. He recorded the act on his mobile phone before fleeing, investigators found. Kochi City Police launched an intensive investigation, treating the location near a Jewish place of worship as a matter of security concern. CCTV cameras at most shops in the market were not functioning at night, posing an initial challenge. However, investigators examined available footage from the market and nearby areas and gathered information from around 150 people. With the help of the cyber wing, police traced the blue car despite being unable to clearly establish its registration number. The trail led them to a rented house in Puthencruz, where Ebin was arrested. Investigators also linked him to an earlier arson incident involving a used car showroom in Muvattupuzha. Police said he admitted his involvement in that case during questioning. Suspicious communications relating to drug transactions were also found on his digital devices. The information has been handed over to Ernakulam Rural Police for further investigation. The police are examining the messages, financial transactions and possible links of the accused to establish the full extent of the alleged conspiracy. The accuseds mental condition is also being examined.
