Farmers to stop BPCL pipeline works from today
COIMBATORE: The members of the Tamil Nadu Farmers Protection Association have decided to stop oil pipeline works carried out by BPCL at Sulur on Monday. Members took a decision at the marriage hall in Sulur on Saturday, where the police kept them after arrest for staging a road roko since Friday night, by refusing to leave the hall. Eesan Murugasamy, founder president of the association who led the protest, said, We had requested the district administration to stop works for one more week in order to to meet the industry minister and industry secretary in Chennai, however, our demand was not accepted. Therefore, we have decided to stop works on Monday. According to Eesan, their demand is to lay the pipeline along the roadside and not through the agricultural land. The pipeline is being laid for 340 km up to Bengaluru from Coimbatore. Out of 340 km, the pipeline will be laid for 270 km along the roadside. However, the remaining 70 km pipeline from Irugur (Coimbatore) to Muthur (Tirupur district) is planned to be laid within agricultural land. The company is again laying the pipeline, similar to the works carried out on agricultural lands between Sulur and Karur 30 years ago. The company claims they are using the area covered by existing lines to lay the new pipeline. However, we will not allow this, and the existing lines too will be shifted to the roadside, as we face setbacks in land valuation. Government agencies refuse to provide loans and land gets fragmented, affecting cultivation, said Eesan.

Vettaiyan First Day Collection Prediction
Bollywood superstars Rajinikanth and Vettaiyan will grace screens from 10th October on the year 2024 Many will know that it was a light touch with regards to the promotion and pre-booking figures of Lyca production, which is why the pre-booking numbers give rise to optimisms. However, it has been observed that the trailer of the movie did not elicit the kind of responses that are associated with any Rajinikanth film, especially since it brings back the superstar with his mentor Amitabh Bachchan after 33 years, the last time they worked together in a film being Hum in 1991. With Vettaiyan coming hot on the heels of the blockbuster Jailer, the question lingers: will it be able to reproduce the phenomenal success at the box office earned by Jailer. Some industry experts have differing opinions about the movie. Tirupur Subramaniam, who is considered a former President of the Tamilnadu theatre owners Association expressed that Vettaiyan succeeded above all Jailer in the theatres. Recently, he stood up for his followers saying Rajinikanth remains handsome and young. He would be likened to a horse that comes back to form quickly, so why should one be worrying about his health? Subramanian thinks that even though the initial promotional activities have been unimpressive, Vettaiyan could set new records. On the other hand, film trade analyst Raja Shekar offers a more cautious view. Seen in relation to the promotion of Vettaiyan, the promotion of Jailer definitely does not match Sun Pictures heavy promotion of Jailer that contributed to its terrific first-day collection. While the ticket pre-booking for Vettaiyan has been really good, especially for Tamil Nadu, the region does not have that level of thrill or traction, especially in Gulf countries and the northern states, explained Shekar. Shekar Rao expects the film to collect around Rs 70 crore on its first day while Jailer had debuted with Rs 80 crore in earnings in the global market. Much of the fear rests with the very awkward and unexciting trailer for the movie Vettaiyan and to the music score by Anirudh Ravichander, which some felt did not have that kick to catch the audiences imagination. The Tamil film, directed by TJ Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame, could adopt more of its narrative than being a Rajinikanth commercial film, and this may affect its penetration in the non-Tamil speaking areas. It could just probably feel like a mix of jailer and jai bhim while it is expected outside Tamil Nadu, Shekar said, forecasting a much lower punch beyond Tamil Nadu. Despite these contradictory forecasts, the enthusiasm for Vettaiyan, particularly among Rajinikanth's large circle of admiring supporters, is rather promising. The action-packed thriller showcases the superstar as a hard-hitting cop who does not believe in the rule of law and is pitted against Amitabh Bachchan's character, giving it a good premise. Other films made by Sudhakar are largely supported by an ensemble cast with appreciable emphasis on Ritika Singh, Dhushara, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier and more. Difficult as it may be to state right now, it looks like a Rs 100 crore opening day would not be possible for Vettaiyan either, especially if one tries to look at it with optimism within one's narrow parameters, in comparison to how much The Greatest of All Time that features Vijay grossed on day one grossing Rs 126.32 crores.
TN readymade garment exporters' profit may rise by 8-10% in FY25: CRISIL
Readymade garment exporters from Tamil Nadu are likely to see 8-10 per cent growth in revenue to Rs 43,000 crore in this financial year on healthy order flow amid rising demand conditions, a report said on Friday. The industry has seen signs of recovery in Tamil Nadu after two years of subdued demand and muted realisations and is expected to fare better than the national level where revenue growth is expected to be 3-5 per cent this fiscal. Operating profitability will improve 25-30 basis points (bps) on better operating leverage, marginal increase in realisations and stable yarn prices, Crisil Ratings said in a report. Tamil Nadu readymade garment industry, which accounts for over 30 per cent of readymade garment exports from India, will see volume grow 6-7 per cent in the current fiscal. Growth will be driven by the Tirupur region, the knitwear hub of India, supported by improving demand from the US and Europe. The government's plan to review the Production-Linked Incentive (PL
