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.

Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Oct 13 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay offered prayers at the Kanaka Durga Temple here. After his arrival at Gannavaram Airport by a special aircraft from Chennai, Vijay drove to the famous hill shrine and offered prayers on the eve of Dasara. The temple priests and officials accorded a warm welcome to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister as per the temple traditions. Following the darshan, the priests rendered Veda Ashirvachanam and presented him the sacred offering. Vijay later left for his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidus official residence in Amaravati for talks on water sharing. Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh warmly welcomed Chief Minister Vijay on his arrival at the Chief Ministers residence. During the meeting, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu introduced Ministers P. Narayana and Nimmala Ramanaidu, along with MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, to his Tamil Nadu counterpart. The bilateral discussions are likely to focus on inter-state water management, specifically expediting the release of Krishna River water to Chennai under the Telugu Ganga Project. They are also likely to discuss the proposed interlinking of Godavari and Cauvery rivers. The discussions come amid concern over the limited quantity of water received under the Telugu Ganga project. Andhra Pradesh is required to supply 12 tmc annually to meet Chennais drinking water needs, but Tamil Nadu had received only 2.251 tmc by the beginning of October this year. CM Vijay is expected to raise the shortfall with CM Naidu and discuss measures to improve supplies. Vijay, along with Chandrababu Naidu, will also participate in Vijayawada Utsav 2.0. Earlier, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was received by Municipal Administration P. Narayana and senior officials at Gannavaram Airport. A large number of the actor-politicians fans had gathered outside the airport to welcome him. Vijay waved at the crowd before getting into the car. Police had made tight security arrangements at the airport and along the route from the airport to Kanaka Durga Temple. Some overenthusiastic fans were seen running behind Vijays convoy to catch a glimpse. This is Vijays first visit to Andhra Pradesh after assuming office as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Andhra SEC to announce local body polls schedule after gazette notifications
Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Oct 13 (IANS) The schedule for local body elections in Andhra Pradesh will be announced after the departments concerned issue gazette notifications, State Election Commissioner (SEC) Anil Chandra Punetha said on Tuesday. The SEC added that the poll schedule will be announced once the state government communicates its readiness for the elections. Punetha said the elections would be conducted in an effective manner. He assured all security measures in the sensitive and hyper sensitive areas. He held a meeting with representatives of 20 political parties here on Tuesday. He told media after the meeting that the political parties sought security for the contesting candidates. They also submitted various suggestions to the SEC, including timely issuance of caste certificates. The state government on Monday announced reservation for Scheduled Tribes (STs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), Backward Classes (BCs) and women for the posts of Mayors in 17 municipal corporations and chairpersons in 106 municipalities and nagar panchayats. The state government has earmarked one Mayoral seat for STs (Mangalagiri Tadepalli), two seats for SCs (Kurnool Women and Rajamahendravaram General), five seats for BCs (Kakinada Women, Machilipatnam Women, Eluru General, Anantapuram General, and Chittoor General). Five Mayoral seats have been reserved under Women (General) for Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Guntur, Kadapa, and the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC). Mayor seats in Tirupati, Vijayawada, Ongole, and Nellore remained unreserved. Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration, P. Sampath Kumar, issued an official notification determining and finalising the ward-wise reservation of seats for STs, SCs, BCs and women across 13 major municipal corporations in the state. The state government has capped overall reservation for all categories at 50 per cent after the High Court struck down its order for 34 per cent reservation for BCs. The Supreme Court on October 9 dismissed its plea challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The apex court questioned the legal basis of the data relied upon by the state government to justify the enhanced BC quota, particularly the findings of a Unified Family Survey. On October 1, the Andhra Pradesh High Court struck down two government orders providing 34 per cent reservation for BCs in local body elections, saying that the quota breached the 50 per cent ceiling on total reservations. The High Court said that the aggregate reservation for all categories in local bodies should not exceed 50 per cent in accordance with the Supreme Court's guidelines. The court judgment came as a setback to the N. Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government, as increasing BC reservation in local bodies from 20 per cent to 34 per cent was one of its key promises during the 2024 Assembly elections. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had announced the enhanced quota on August 18, saying that BCs would get 34 per cent reservation in rural local bodies and 33.33 per cent in urban local bodies.
