Nearly 5 lakh board buses from Chennai ahead of I-Day; 18 omnibuses fined
CHENNAI: More than five lakh people travelled from Chennai to various parts of Tamil Nadu on government buses between Wednesday and Friday, ahead of the weekend and extended holidays. According to officials from the state transport department, between Wednesday and 3 am on Friday, 3.13 lakh commuters travelled from Chennai on 5,780 buses, including 1,596 special services. On Friday alone, around 1.6 lakh people travelled from KCBT, Madhavaram, and CMBT, said an official. To meet the surge in demand for destinations such as Tiruvannamalai, Tindivanam, Cuddalore, and other northern districts, the Villupuram division of TNSTC hired private buses. These buses, operated from KCBT, were deployed to handle high-traffic routes. Based on reservation patterns, private operators were kept on standby and ran services at government fares, the official added. Major routes, including GST Road, Chennai Bypass, ECR, and OMR, saw heavy congestion from Thursday, with vehicle queues stretching up to two kilometres on GST Road during peak hours in both directions. Meanwhile, omni buses ferried around 1.3 lakh commuters on Thursday and Friday. With demand soaring, ticket prices on several routes including Chennai - Madurai, Chennai - Coimbatore and others touched Rs 4,000. Following passenger complaints, Meenambakkam RTO officials inspected omni buses at Kilambakkam, imposing fines totalling Rs 1.26 lakh on 18 vehicles for violations such as expired insurance, unauthorised luggage transport, lack of pollution certificates, and permit breaches. Excess fares collected from passengers were retrieved from the operators and refunded on the spot.

Nagaland Governor La Ganesan passes away at 80
CHENNAI: Governor of Nagaland and former MP and State president of Tamil Nadu BJP La Ganesan passed away here at a private hospital on Friday evening. He was 80. Ganesan has been in the hospital since August 8 after he reportedly sustained a head injury at his residence in T Nagar. He was rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state, following which he underwent a surgery as well. His mortal remains will be placed at his T Nagar residence for the political leaders and others to pay their last respects. Born on February 16, 1945, in Thanjavur, Ganesan was attracted at an early age by the ideologies of the Rashtriya Swayam Sangh (RSS) since his father and brothers were associated with the RSS. In 1970, Ganesan became a full-time Pracharak of the RSS, and for about 20 years, Ganesan served the Sangh in various capacities in Nagercoil, Madurai and other places. He joined the BJP in 1991 and became an organising secretary of the State unit. Through this position, he played a key role in shaping the affairs of the Tamil Nadu BJP. After 10 years, Ganesan was elevated as the national secretary of the BJP. Besides, he also served as one of the national vice presidents for two years. Between 2006 and 2009, Ganesan served as the president of the Tamil Nadu BJP. For nearly two decades, Ganesan has been heading Portramarai, a literary and cultural organisation which organises speeches by well-known personalities on literary topics. In 2016, Ganesan was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh. He was appointed as the Governor of Manipur on August 27, 2021 and served in the post till February 19, 2023. He was also given an additional charge as the Governor of West Bengal between July 2022 and November 2022. From February 2023, Ganesan has been serving as the 21st Governor Governor of Nagaland. Although deeply rooted in the ideologies of the BJP and RSS, Ganesan was known for maintaining cordial and friendly relationships with leaders across the political spectrum, including both the Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu. Due to his literary leanings, he maintained a close relationship with late Chief Minister and DMK president M Karunanidhi in particular
Illegal betting app: ED freezes Rs 110 crore worth bank funds; seizes 1,200 credit cards
NEW DELHI: Funds worth Rs 110 crore kept in mule bank accounts have been frozen and 1,200 mule credit cards were seized following recent searches against the Indian operations of a Cyprus-based illegal online betting platform named Parimatch, the Enforcement Directorate said on Thursday. Parimatch app, as per the federal probe agency, gained visibility in the country through aggressive marketing, including sponsorship of sports tournaments and partnerships with well-known celebrities. It is alleged to have cheated investors luring them with high returns and generating more than Rs 3,000 crore in a year. They also set up Indian entities to run surrogate advertisements under the names 'Parimatch Sports' and 'Parimatch News'. Payments to these agencies were made via foreign inward remittances, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said in a statement. The agency had conducted searches at 17 locations in Mumbai, Noida, Jaipur, Surat, Madurai, Kanpur and Hyderabad on August 12 as part of a case registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against the operations of Parimatch. The ED case stems from an FIR filed by the cyber police station of Mumbai Police against parimatch.com for duping users through online betting. The agency said funds worth about Rs 110 crore kept in various bank accounts belonging to persons/entities used as mule accounts (bank accounts used for money laundering and similar criminal activities) and/or for layering purposes were frozen. More than 1,200 mule credit cards, found in a single premises during the searches, have also been seized, it said. Describing the alleged modus operandi deployed by the betting platform, the ED said it routed users' fund through mule accounts using different strategies across the country. In one case, it said, funds deposited by users into mule accounts were withdrawn in cash in a specific locality in Tamil Nadu. This cash was handed over to hawala operators, who used it to recharge virtual wallets of a UK-based company. These wallets were used to buy cryptocurrency in the name of mule crypto accounts, which were actually operated by Parimatch agents, it alleged. In western India, the ED said, Parimatch engaged services of domestic money transfer (DMT) agents. Funds collected in mule accounts controlled by these DMT agents were sent to Parimatch agents through payments made by mule credit cards. The ED said it found that payment companies whose application for payment aggregator licences were rejected by the RBI offered their services to Parimatch in garb of technology service providers (TSPs) and offered their API (application programming interface) to facilitate user fund collections. These TSPs offered the API to Parimatch agents who onboarded mule accounts opened in the name of e-commerce companies and payment solution provider companies for collection of funds from users, the ED probe found. The money so collected through UPI transfers was layered and transferred out in the garb of e-commerce refunds, chargebacks, vendor payments etc effectively concealing the actual flow and purpose of funds, it said.

Supreme Court upholds Madras HC order to remove political flagpoles from public places
NEW DELHI: In an important decision, the Supreme Court has rejected an appeal and upheld the order of the Madras High Court directing political parties and other organisations to remove permanent flagpoles erected by them in public places, including national highways and government lands. A bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi pronounced the order recently after hearing an appeal filed by Kathiravan challenging the HCs judgment. The petitioners counsel challenged the direction and argued that the HC had passed a variety of directions, though the relief sought in the underlying case was limited. After hearing his submission, Justice Maheshwari asked, How can you use government land for political benefits? The court also stressed that the scope of High Court jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution is wide in nature, and dismissed the appeal. The root of the litigation is the order passed by Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan of the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on January 27, 2025, to remove flagpoles installed by political parties, communal organisations and others in public places within 12 weeks. After removal of flagpoles, the authorities concerned are directed to recover the cost of removal of flagpoles from the respective political parties, the judge had said. An appeal filed against the order was rejected by a division bench headed by Justice J Nisha Banu in March. The HC had held that any public place such as corner of the street, pavement, junction of the road, junction, bus stop and other public-use places are meant for the usage of general public. Therefore, no one has any right to erect any flagpoles by obstructing public users . Erection of flagpole rank encroachment The high court had held therefore, the erection of flagpole in such spaces is nothing but rank encroachment. The HC had passed the orders on a plea filed by Kathiravan challenging an order of the Assistant Divisional Engineer rejecting his request to erect a flag pole of the AIADMK at Palanganatham in Madurai city. 12-week deadline set by hc The Madurai Bench of the Madras HC on January 27, 2025 ordered removal of flagpoles installed by political parties, communal organisations and others in public places within 12 weeks. The court had also asked the state to frame rules for erection of flagpoles on private land
Inside the working women's world
Close your eyes. What do you imagine when you think of a working girl? Thats how Working Girls begins. And with that, filmmaker Paromita Vohra cracks open the polished office door and walks us straight into the unseen, underpaid, and often unspoken world of womens labour in India from sex work to surrogacy, erotic dance to domestic care. The documentary film crafts a moving, irreverent, and deeply political portrait of the women who keep the country running yet remain invisible in policy, pay, and prestige. Paromita is a filmmaker and writer whose work focuses on gender, feminism, urban life, love, desire, and popular culture. Her films include Q2P , Wheres Sandra , Partners in Crime, Morality TV and the Loving Jehad . Directed by Paromita in collaboration with the Laws of Social Reproduction project, Working Girls is a genre-defying, visually layered documentary. It has been criss-crossing the country with recent screenings in Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai, and upcoming ones in Hyderabad and Kolkata. When you think of a working girl, you do not think of Kaushalya? she asks, referring to the Karagattam dancer from Madurai in the films opening sequence. This absence is the films central provocation: to expand our collective imagination of what it means to work and who gets to be called a worker. Behind the title While Working Women may evoke white collar respectability, Paromita went with Working Girls as a title to smuggle in cheekiness, discomfort, and resistance. This mischievous undertone permeates the films language, visuals, music, and intertextual references. Aadal Paadal dancers in Tamil Nadu getting ready backstage The filmmaker, for instance, avoids the kind of music documentaries often use to stir sympathy or emotion. Instead, the soundtrack is cheeky and upbeat, giving the scenes an energy that frames the women, not as passive subjects in need of pity, but as active agents confident, resourceful, and working the system to their advantage. At the same time, the tone subtly reminds the viewer of the inequitable society they are forced to navigate. The filmmakers signature playfulness, drawing from her years of creating Agents of Ishq , her award-winning multimedia platform for sex, love and desire in India, shines through the upbeat soundtrack and animated sequences. She also credits the platform and says, I think I got a lot of practice in the last 10 years because many people shared their personal essays about their intimate lives on Agents of Ishq and it really showed me how one person can tell a very big story. It helped me understand that in just two scenes, one can evoke a whole world of emotions. Unlimited lives To understand Working Girls is also to trace it back to Unlimited Girls , Paromitas landmark 2002 documentary on feminism in urban India. That film upended the documentary form with a feminist chatroom, big ads and cool music. I was young, 30 years old, growing up in a post-liberalisation world of the 90s as someone who was also deeply engaged with feminism, she recalls. But something was missing in public discourse: Love, desire, sex, just what it is to be an individual woman roaming around in the world living this feminist life. Unlimited Girls brought that inner, personal terrain into the public realm. I never saw it as going against what came before me, rather it was about adding to it, she says. Feminism, for Paromita, is always in the making. Its always imperfect, always becoming. Politics by nature is imperfect. That openness, where feminist thought could be funny, complex, even romantic, has laid the foundation for her latest work. If the former foregrounded the feminist self, the latter roots that self in a web of economic, legal, and caste realities. Individual journeys exist in political context, Paromita remarks, about how the journey from Unlimited Girls to Working Girls is a political one with unflinching gazes, collective spirit, spontaneous laughter and moments of solitude. The larger context in her work, she describes, is that of great hardship and adversity. That, she also says, often made her feel a bit heavy. When I would come back from a shoot, I would feel that this is so tough and question, How is it going to get any better?. Because we dont see, in our own experiences with the system and of peoples social attitude, the compassion that is necessary. We dont see the change we need to see to make this society more equitable. I used to find that disheartening but at the same time, to stay disheartened is not a political option, she says adding, I have realised that I have to find it in myself to hold on to belief, faith, and hope. I have to keep pushing, thinking, and finding ways to engage with worlds which are wider than mine and practice a certain level of solidarity with other realities. Collaborating with The Laws of Social Reproduction project and their research was a chance to do so. Law, labour, respectability Paromita is keenly aware that legal frameworks shape how we value womens work and how we judge it. People always think law is automatically progressive. But if we have more laws, do we have more freedom? she asks. Kaushalyas work as a Karagattam performer is often labelled vulgar or obscene. Paromita notes that these judgements are rooted in colonial morality. Behind the scenes of an interview with Sister Lissy, Telangana convener of the National Platform for Domestic Workers The sex worker also became outlawed at the same time as homosexuality, she points out. Weve fought to overturn Article 377. But who is fighting for the erotic dancers or sex workers? Nobody, right? This intersectional critique runs throughout the film, from ASHA workers demanding fair pay, to domestic workers whose care work is essential but rarely recognised. The films animated segments are a running thread laced with humour that only makes the history of law sting all the more helping us understand how these prejudices began with colonial law and continue to this day. Feminism minus hashtags To think about care work, Paromita reminds us, is really a way of thinking about class and gender and especially of thinking about caste. She expresses her frustration with the flabby conversations on social media in the last 10 years, wherein feminism has been strongly appropriated by corporate communication and packaged as only being about the individual womans ambition. She stresses the importance of class consciousness and a connection with on-ground activists, citing the example of the successful ASHA workers strike in Kerala, which received little to no coverage online or in the news. The film is an opportunity to reintegrate these complex conversations and celebrate the multiplicity of being a working girl. After all, she reminds, Thinking about the world in more complex ways can make all of us feel less lonely, because finding solidarity with people very different from ourselves can be transformative. When you encounter many different ways of seeing and being, it is very humane about the experience and its humane to yourself. (Inputs from Nidharshana Raju)

Centre releases Rs 3,000 crore for CMRL Phase 2 in 2025-26
CHENNAI: The union government has released Rs 3,000 crore so far this financial year towards Chennai Metro Rails Phase 2 project, according to a Right to Information (RTI) response accessed by TNIE. The funds, disbursed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as of July 28, form part of a total outlay of Rs 8,445.8 crore earmarked for the project in 2025-26 the single-largest allocation for any metro project across the country this year. The release includes the full equity contribution of Rs 1,841.2 crore, Rs 158.8 crore in subordinate debt, and Rs 1,000 crore in pass-through assistance (PTA) from external agencies, according to the ministrys reply to RTI petitioner Dayanand Krishnan. A senior official with Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) said the centre had already released approximately Rs 5,400 crore before March 2025, following the formal approval of Phase 2 as a central sector scheme in October 2024. The Rs 3,000 crore includes funds received during April and May. In total, Tamil Nadu has received around Rs 8,400 crore so far. Its not disbursed in tranches funds are released as and when needed, the official said. Spanning 118.9 km across three corridors, Phase 2 is one of Indias largest ongoing urban mobility investments. Its reclassification as a central sector scheme last year has unlocked direct funding from the union government, after years of procedural delays. The steady flow of funds is expected to ease financial pressure on the Tamil Nadu government, which has been seeking continued central support for its expanding mass transit infrastructure. The large allocation also signals the strategic and political significance of the project, with Chennai emerging as a key node in Indias urban transport agenda. RTI activist Krishnan, who has closely tracked metro funding in Tamil Nadu, urged the union government to expedite approvals and funding for three pending proposals from the state: A new corridor linking Chennai Airport to Kilambakkam, and greenfield metro projects in Madurai and Coimbatore. Concrete moves Release includes equity of Rs 1,841 cr, Rs 158 cr subordinate debt, Rs 1K c assistance from external agencies In total, Tamil Nadu has received around Rs 8,400 crore so far, says official 118.9 km across 3 corridors; Phase 2 is one of Indias largest urban mobility projects

New Delhi: Air Indias Flight AI176 from San Francisco to Bengaluru via Kolkata on July 21 turned into a nightmare for nearly 160 passengers, as the Boeing 777 aircraft took off eight hours behind schedule due to a malfunctioning door in the Business Class section. Passengers were allegedly misinformed for hours that the delay was due to aircraft cleaning. Passengers reported that the Business and Premium Economy sections were cordoned off with tape before the flight finally departed at 5:45 am on July 22. According to sources, five Business Class passengers who refused to travel in Economy were left behind, while 25 others were reassigned to Economy seating. The flight, primarily carrying senior citizens returning from visits to their children in Silicon Valley, was marked by confusion and a lack of communication. Sangeetha Krishnan (name changed), a passenger traveling with her three young children, recounted, The SFO-India flight is usually packed at this time of year, and we had booked our Economy tickets eight months in advance at 75,000 each. Our scheduled departure was 9 pm (US time) on July 21. First, we were told it would be delayed to 11 pm, then to midnight. The only explanation provided was that cleaning was taking longer than expected. It wasnt until just before 5 am on July 22 that passengers were informed of a technical issue with a door located near the Business and Premium Economy section. Only Economy Class passengers were allowed to board. There was a lot of anxiety once the technical issue was announced, especially given recent aviation incidents in India. Many elderly passengers were in wheelchairs, unsure of what to do. A toddler cried non-stop the entire time, she said. The flight finally took off at 5:45 am. The affected seats were sealed off with tape to prevent access. We missed our connecting flight from Bengaluru to Chennai and couldnt be with my elderly father on his birthday. My parents ended up waiting at Chennai airport for eight hours, Krishnan added. Other passengers also missed connecting flights to destinations such as Coimbatore, Chennai, and Madurai. A senior citizen couple traveling to Sivakasi had to book a cab from Bengaluru to Madurai to continue their journey. According to a senior pilot, the aircraft was leased from Delta Airlines and typically has around 50 seats in Business and Premium Economy, along with 270 seats in Economy Class. Air India confirmed the incident in a statement. They said, Flight AI176 operating from San Francisco to Bengaluru on July 21 experienced a technical issue related to one of the aircraft doors. As the fault could not be immediately rectified, the door was declared inoperative. In accordance with regulatory safety protocols, some passengers were shifted to Economy Class. The reason for the change was communicated to all affected passengers. Alternative travel or full refunds were offered to five passengers who chose not to travel with the newly assigned seats. The airline added,The flight made a scheduled technical stopover at Kolkata for refuelling due to airspace closures over Pakistan and parts of the Middle East. Our ground staff in San Francisco made every possible effort to minimise inconvenience caused to passengers. This route, originally launched with much fanfare on January 9, 2021, featured an all-women cockpit crew on its inaugural direct non-stop flight from San Francisco to Bengaluru. Operations were temporarily suspended last month when the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) mandated extensive checks on all Boeing aircraft following the Ahmedabad runway incident.
