TN govt considering rice sales at Rs 40-50 a kg through cooperative stores
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 14 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu government is considering selling rice at Rs 40 to Rs 50 per kg through cooperative stores to provide relief to consumers as retail prices rise. The proposal involves procuring rice from the Food Corporation of India and other states for distribution through cooperative outlets. Officials are gathering information on availability and procurement costs before deciding whether the programme can be implemented. Rice that sold for Rs 50 to Rs 60 per kg in August now costs between Rs 70 and Rs 80, putting additional pressure on household budgets. Prices of other essential commodities, including pulses and cooking oil, have also increased, prompting the government to review measures to contain the rise. Food Minister Venkataramanan chaired a meeting of the price monitoring committee at the Secretariat in Chennai on Tuesday to discuss the situation and possible interventions. Chief Secretary Saikumar, Food Secretary Amudha, Finance Secretary Siddique and other officials attended. The discussions focused on steps to control essential commodity prices and make supplies available to consumers at more affordable rates. The proposed rice sales through cooperative stores were among the measures considered during the review. An official from the Cooperation and Food Department said the government was examining the possibility of purchasing fine rice from the Food Corporation of India and suppliers in other states. The aim, the official said, was to offer rice through cooperative stores at prices ranging from Rs 40 to Rs 50 a kg. Officials are identifying states with rice available for sale and assessing the rates at which supplies could be purchased. These details will help determine whether sufficient quantities can be secured for the proposed intervention. The official said the government would take steps to launch the lower-priced sales once the availability of one lakh tonnes of rice was confirmed. Securing that quantity is therefore a key requirement before the proposal moves forward. The plan remains under consideration, with procurement arrangements yet to be finalised. No date for the start of sales was specified. If implemented at the proposed rates, the initiative would offer consumers rice at prices below the current retail range cited by officials. Its rollout will depend on confirmation of supplies and the completion of the governments assessment of procurement options and costs.

TN govt announces special buses for festival rush, temporary terminals to be set up
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 14 (IANS) Tamil Nadus transport department will operate 6,199 special bus services from Chennai for the puja holidays and 9,086 additional trips for Diwali to meet the festival rush, Transport Minister A. Vijay Tamilan Parthiban said in a statement. The puja special services will run from October 15 to 18, while the additional Diwali services will operate from November 5 to 7. Temporary bus stands will be set up at Maraimalai Nagar and on vacant land near Climate Park in Kilambakkam to accommodate passengers and facilitate departures. With 2,191 buses operating daily from Chennai, the department will provide 8,764 regular trips during the four-day puja holiday period. Combined with the special services, the total number of trips will reach 14,963, the minister said. For Diwali, the department has planned 6,573 regular trips over three days. The addition of 9,086 special services will bring the total to 15,659 trips, providing capacity for passengers travelling from the city to their hometowns. Services will be distributed among the terminals and temporary facilities. Buses bound for Kumbakonam, Thanjavur and Nagapattinam will depart from Maraimalai Nagar. Those heading to Puducherry, Erode, Dindigul and Tiruvannamalai will operate from the temporary bus stand near Kilambakkam. Buses serving the southern districts will continue to depart from the Kilambakkam bus terminus. Operations at Koyambedu and Madhavaram will continue as usual, Parthiban said. The department will also make arrangements for passengers returning to Chennai after the festival holidays. The minister said a meeting would be held with omnibus operators to regulate fares and streamline services during the festival season. The discussions will address operations during a period when demand for travel rises sharply as passengers leave Chennai for the holidays. The Southern Railway has been requested to run additional unreserved trains to other cities to support the increased passenger movement. The department has also sought additional suburban train services to help travellers reach Kilambakkam and connect with buses departing from the terminus and nearby temporary facilities. MTC managing director Jayaseelan said free shuttle services would operate between Kilambakkam and the temporary bus stand at Madhavaram. The shuttle arrangement, alongside the proposed additional train services, forms part of the transport measures announced for the festival period, when regular services will be supplemented by thousands of additional departures from Chennai across holiday schedules.

Heavy rain forecast for four TN districts today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 14 (IANS) Heavy rain is likely in four southern districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, the Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai said, as a low-pressure system persists over the southwest Bay of Bengal. Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari are expected to receive heavy rainfall during the day. The weather system, described in the bulletin as extending from the central Bay of Bengal towards the southwest Bay, is influencing rainfall across parts of the state. The forecast also indicates moderate rain in several northern, coastal, central and western districts on Wednesday, with Chennai among the areas likely to receive showers. Some parts of the capital could experience moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. Chennais maximum temperature is expected to reach around 34 degrees Celsius. The forecast points to rainfall in some localities rather than uniform conditions across the city, with thunderstorms possible alongside the showers throughout the day, according to the weather centre. Other districts identified for moderate rainfall include Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam and Pudukkottai. Rain is also expected in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Theni, Dindigul, Virudhunagar, Tenkasi, Perambalur and Ariyalur. The rainfall outlook for Thursday covers a wider geographical area, with heavy showers forecast in parts of southern Tamil Nadu, the western belt and several districts in the central region. The hilly areas of Tenkasi and Tirunelveli are among the locations expected to receive heavy rain. Kanyakumari, Madurai, Dindigul, Tiruppur, Coimbatore and the Nilgiris are also included in Thursdays heavy-rain forecast. Further inland, the districts of Erode, Salem, Namakkal and Karur could receive heavy showers, according to the outlook. The forecast extends to Tiruchirappalli, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Pudukkottai and Nagapattinam, indicating that rainfall activity could affect both inland districts and sections of the coastal belt on Thursday. The two-day outlook shows a shift from heavy rainfall concentrated in four southern districts on Wednesday to a broader spread of heavy showers on Thursday. Meanwhile, moderate rainfall is expected across several other parts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday. For Chennai, the immediate forecast remains moderate rain with possible thunder and lightning in some areas. Elsewhere, the intensity of rainfall is expected to vary by district, with the southern districts facing the principal heavy-rain spell on Wednesday and a larger group of districts included in the following days weather outlook.

New Delhi, Oct 13: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to introspect over his partys electoral setbacks instead of blaming the Election Commission (EC) or the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to The Times of India, Amit Shah cited the BJPs victories in recent Assembly bypolls in West Bengal and the Lok Sabha by-election in Assam, along with the Congresss defeat in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation polls, to question the oppositions allegations against the poll body. I also wish to ask Rahul ji: is this the result of an SIR? You dismiss the popularity of the BJP and Modi ji by attributing it to an SIR. You need to introspect, Amit Shah said. Referring to Gujarat, where the BJP has been in power for several years, the Home Minister said the Congress had repeatedly failed to secure electoral victories in the state. In a major state (Gujarat) where you once held power, you have failed to win a single election in 41 years. This is a matter that demands serious introspection on their part, he said. Amit Shah also cited the results of recent by-elections in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, claiming that the Congress had failed to win a single seat. In Nagaon, the BJP candidate won by a margin of 1,42,000 votes, wresting the seat from the Congress. In Nandigram, the BJP candidate won with 76% of the vote, securing a massive lead of 1,22,000 votes. In Rejinagar, the BJP won by over 75,000 votes, snatching the seat from the Trinamool, while in Puducherry, the NDA candidate from ally AINRC won by 8,482 votes. The Congress secured only 22% of the votes, Amit Shah said. Amit Shahs remarks came shortly after leaders of the Congress-led INDIA bloc held a joint press conference at Rahul Gandhis residence in New Delhi and vowed to continue their campaign seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and the invalidation of the SIR exercise over alleged irregularities. Rahul Gandhi had said the oppositions political resistance would continue, but declined to disclose its next course of action, saying he did not want to spoil the surprise.
