Heavy rain forecast for Nilgiris, Coimbatore; showers likely across Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 3 (IANS) Moderate rain accompanied by strong winds is likely across Tamil Nadus Western Ghats districts and several southern and central districts on Saturday and Sunday, the Meteorological Department has forecast. The weather conditions are being influenced by a cyclonic circulation over the southeastern Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast. The department said the system could bring rainfall to parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days. Besides districts along the Western Ghats, moderate rain is expected in Madurai, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga. Pudukkottai, Tiruchi, Ariyalur and Perambalur are also likely to receive moderate rainfall during the same period, with strong winds accompanying the showers. The forecast indicates that rainfall will vary across the State, with heavier showers expected in some hill districts and areas adjoining the Western Ghats. Other districts covered by the forecast are expected to receive moderate rain. The Meteorological Centre has predicted heavy rain in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Dindigul and Theni districts on Sunday, October 4. The warning places these four districts among the areas likely to experience the most intense rainfall during the weekend. For Salem, Erode, Namakkal, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri, the department has forecast moderate rain on Sunday. These districts are expected to receive showers as the prevailing weather system continues to influence conditions across western and adjoining parts of Tamil Nadu. Nilgiris and Coimbatore are likely to see a longer spell of heavy rainfall. According to the Meteorological Centre, heavy rain in these two districts could continue until October 6, extending beyond the weekend forecast issued for other areas. The outlook, therefore, points to sustained wet weather in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, while Dindigul and Theni have been specifically identified for heavy rain on Sunday. The forecast for the remaining named districts is for moderate rainfall. In Chennai, the department has predicted light rain on Saturday evening or during the night. The capitals forecast is for lighter showers compared with the heavy rainfall expected in parts of western Tamil Nadu. The latest forecast covers both the weekend rainfall outlook and the possibility of continuing heavy showers in two western districts through Tuesday. Strong winds are also expected alongside moderate rain in the Western Ghats districts and the southern and central districts identified in the departments forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

TN: Heavy rain forecast in Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Erode today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 1 (IANS) Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds is likely in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode districts on Thursday, the Meteorological Department said, as a trough extending across Tamil Nadu is expected to bring rainfall to several parts of the state. The trough runs from south interior of Karnataka to the Gulf of Mannar through Tamil Nadu. Under its influence, the three western districts could receive heavy showers, while several other districts are likely to experience moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. The forecast places Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode among the areas expected to receive the heaviest rainfall. Strong winds could accompany the showers in these districts, according to the department. Moderate rain with thunderstorms is likely in Tiruchirappalli, Namakkal, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirupattur, Dindigul, Madurai and Virudhunagar. Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts could also receive moderate showers accompanied by thunder and lightning. The forecast indicates that rainfall will extend beyond the western districts, covering parts of central and southern Tamil Nadu. However, the intensity is expected to vary, with heavy rain predicted for the three western districts and moderate showers for the other districts mentioned by the department. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, light to moderate rain is likely at a few places. Similar conditions are expected in Puducherry and Karaikal, where the department has forecast light to moderate showers. For Chennai, the forecast points to a chance of light rain during the evening or night. The city is therefore expected to see milder rainfall than the heavy showers predicted in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode. The departments outlook for the capital is limited to the possibility of light showers later in the day. It has not indicated heavy rainfall for Chennai in the forecast provided. Thursdays weather outlook highlights differing conditions across the region, ranging from heavy rain with strong winds in western Tamil Nadu to thunderstorms in several inland and southern districts and lighter showers elsewhere. The trough passing through the state is the weather feature associated with the expected rainfall. The department has linked the likelihood of heavy rain in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Erode to its influence. While rain is possible across several districts, the forecast does not suggest uniform rainfall throughout Tamil Nadu. It identifies particular districts for heavier or thunderstorm activity and predicts scattered light to moderate showers in the remaining areas.

Heavy rain forecast for 11 TN districts today; temperatures likely to rise
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 30 (IANS) Heavy rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds, is likely at isolated places in 11 Tamil Nadu districts and Karaikal on Wednesday, the Meteorological Department said, as atmospheric systems influence weather across the region. The districts identified for heavy rainfall are Nilgiris, Erode, Salem, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukkottai and Tiruchirappalli. Wind speeds could reach 40 to 50 kilometres per hour during thunderstorms, according to the forecast. Despite the rain outlook, the department said maximum temperatures in Tamil Nadu could rise above normal on Wednesday, with departures of up to four degrees Celsius. The forecast thus points to hotter daytime conditions alongside spells of rain in parts of the state. Moderate rain with thunder, lightning and gusty winds is expected at some places in other districts along the Western Ghats and across several northern, central and southern districts. These include Tirupattur, Vellore, Ranipet, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Karur, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi. Puducherry is also likely to receive moderate showers accompanied by thunderstorms. Winds in these areas could reach 40 to 50 kilometres per hour. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, light rain with thunder and lightning is possible at a few places. For Thursday, October 1, the department has forecast heavy rain at isolated locations in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore districts. Thunderstorms and gusty winds reaching 40 to 50 kilometres per hour are also likely in these areas. Parts of the rest of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal could receive light to moderate rain on Thursday, with thunder, lightning and strong winds accompanying some showers. The department attributed the weather conditions to an atmospheric circulation over northern Tamil Nadu and adjoining southern coastal Andhra Pradesh, extending to around 1.5 kilometres above sea level. A trough also extends from southern Telangana to the Gulf of Mannar through Rayalaseema, northern Tamil Nadu and adjoining southern coastal Andhra Pradesh at an altitude of about 0.9 kilometres. Meanwhile, a deep depression that had been over the northern Andaman Sea and adjoining Myanmar coast on September 28 moved north-northwestwards and crossed the Myanmar coast east of Kyaikto between 7.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. The rainfall forecast indicates that heavier showers will be confined to isolated locations, while other areas may experience lighter rainfall or moderate thunderstorms over two days.

Gaurav Gogoi seeks records on transfer of 5 Assam elephants to TN
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 29 (IANS) Assam Congress President and Lok Sabha member Gaurav Gogoi on Monday sought detailed records from the state government regarding the transfer of five elephants from Assam to Tamil Nadu, raising questions over their ownership, provenance, approvals and welfare safeguards during transit. In a post on X, Gogoi questioned the circumstances surrounding the movement of the elephants and alleged that the transfer was marked by hypocrisy and secrecy. He said wildlife experts and animal welfare organisations had also raised concerns over the matter. Gogoi sought clarification on whether the elephants were donated, purchased or acquired through any other arrangement. If any financial transaction was involved, he asked the government to disclose the amount paid and the identities of the parties involved. The Congress leader also questioned who initiated the transfer process and the criteria used to select the five elephants. Referring specifically to two elephants, 'Durga' and 'Bijuli', Gogoi said they were around five years old and sought details of their mothers and the documented chain of custody establishing their lawful provenance. He also questioned the Assam government's assertion before the court that all necessary clearances for the transfer had been secured. Gogoi demanded that the relevant permissions and clearances be placed in the public domain and asked whether the transfers had been examined by the High-Powered Committee. The Congress MP further raised questions over the reported inspection of a facility in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on the same day that the transfer was recommended, asking whether adequate scrutiny of the destination facility had been conducted before the elephants were moved. He also sought details of the veterinary checks and animal welfare measures followed before and during transportation, including whether all prescribed safeguards were complied with. Referring to allegations of abuse involving an elephant named 'Joymala', Gogoi questioned whether the authorities had incorporated lessons from the controversy into their handling of elephant transfers. Elephants are woven into Assams culture and heritage. Their movement out of the state must not be shrouded in unanswered questions, he said. Gogoi called for the five elephants to be returned to Assam and demanded public disclosure of records concerning their ownership, age, provenance, permits, clearances, approvals and any payments linked to their transfer.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 28 (IANS) Clarifying that actor Sivakarthikeyan would always remain a dear friend/brother to him, ace director Venkat Prabhu on Monday explained that his film with Sivakarthikeyan could not take off for a number of reasons but that he had no hard feelings as a result of the development. Taking to his X timeline to pen a lengthy clarification in the wake of an interview given by his father, music director, director and actor Gangai Amaren, Venkat Prabhu, looking to defend his father, said, SK (Sivakarthikeyan) is always a dear friend/brother to me. A lot of speculations and controversies are going around. As a father, when a film involving your own son gets delayed, the frustration is natural. He probably doesnt know the complete picture, and I cant blame him for that. The ace director went on to say, Im a very quiet person when it comes to my work and dont discuss my professional matters in detail with anyone, including him. The project couldnt take off due to various reasons. Thats it. No hard feelings. If the time comes and a good script comes my way, I would love to work with SK again. So please, lets put a full stop to all this, Venkat Prabhu said and added, Im busy with my next. My best wishes to my brothers Seyon.

It wrote, # (The second stage of courage's victorious journey has now been completed #Seyon) #VetrivelVeeravel #Varendi #KamalHaasan #Sivakarthikeyan. It may be recalled that Sivakarthikeyan had taken a short break in Ooty ahead of the gruelling second schedule in Madurai. The actor had a few days ago posted pictures of himself seated alone on a jeep and enjoying the serenity offered by the mist-surrounded mountains in Ooty. Posting the pictures on Instagram, he had said, A pause. A breeze. A little peace. The makers of the film had on June 10 this year announced that the unit had wrapped up the first schedule of shooting. The film officially went on floors in Madurai with a grand pooja ceremony that was graced by several celebrities including actor Kamal Haasan on May 18 this year. Produced by Kamal Haasan's RaajKamal Films International and Turmeric Media, the film features actress Baghyashrii Borse as the female lead.

DMDK flags crimes, farm distress and civic concerns in TN
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 20 (IANS) DMDK general secretary and Vriddhachalam MLA Premalatha Vijayakant on Sunday sought urgent intervention by the TVK government on several issues, ranging from violent crimes and farmers welfare to dengue, electricity disruptions, and paddy procurement. Expressing concern over the states law-and-order situation, she referred to the Sivaganga double murder and killings reported in Madurai and Krishnagiri. Such incidents, she said, required swift investigation and firm action to restore a sense of security among residents. Premalatha urged the police to identify and arrest those responsible and ensure stringent punishment through legal proceedings. She also asked the government to take preventive steps to curb similar incidents. She called for stronger measures to prevent dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. Local bodies must intensify mosquito-control operations, while government hospitals should have adequate beds, medicines, and diagnostic facilities. Premalatha expressed concern over reports of dengue infections among Anna University students and sought urgent preventive action on campus. Highlighting the farmers protest at Samayapuram, she demanded a complete waiver of agricultural loans. Referring to reports that crop loans amounting to Rs 247.15 crore had been waived for 50,779 farmers in Tiruchy district, she sought similar relief for eligible farmers across Tamil Nadu. The DMDK leader also urged the government to resolve concerns raised by fishermen in Pattinapakkam and ensure adequate security during Vinayaka Chaturthi processions. She asked the state to exert pressure on Karnataka to secure Tamil Nadus legitimate share of Cauvery water. On the power situation, Premalatha said the government must address complaints of unannounced outages in different parts of Tamil Nadu immediately. She also called for faster procurement of rain-exposed paddy in Tirunelveli and Vriddhachalam to prevent farmers from suffering avoidable financial losses. Premalatha said the government must treat these concerns as priorities and announce time-bound measures to resolve them. Its credibility, she added, would depend on how quickly it protected public safety, supported farmers, and ensured uninterrupted delivery of essential services.
