Vijay to chair meeting on site for new Tamil Nadu Secretariat today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 8 (IANS) Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay will chair a high-level meeting on Tuesday to consider locations for Tamil Nadus proposed integrated Legislative Assembly and Secretariat complex, a project intended to ease pressure on the governments administrative headquarters at Fort St George. Senior officials from the Public Works, Revenue and Municipal Administration departments and the Greater Chennai Corporation are expected to attend the meeting. Sites in Pattinapakkam, Guindy and Nandambakkam are reportedly among those being examined, and the deliberations could lead to a decision on the location. Vijay announced the project in the Assembly last week but did not identify the site. The proposed complex will have a built-up area of 20 lakh square feet and is estimated to cost Rs 1,200 crore. It is planned as a single administrative campus accommodating the Assembly and state government departments now functioning from different locations. The government has argued that a new complex has become necessary because Fort St George can no longer be expanded adequately to meet present and future administrative requirements. Although the historic campus extends over nearly 107 acres, the state government controls only about four acres. Much of the remaining land is under the Defence establishment and the Archaeological Survey of India, restricting new construction and extensive structural changes. The number of departments, employees and administrative responsibilities has also increased substantially over the past four decades. This has placed pressure on ageing buildings and resulted in several offices being dispersed outside the Secretariat, making coordination more difficult. Bringing departments together is expected to improve administrative efficiency and public access while providing sufficient space for future expansion. The Rs 1,200-crore estimate covers construction of the proposed 20-lakh-square-foot integrated facility. The campus is expected to incorporate modern fire-safety arrangements, barrier-free access for persons with disabilities, green-building standards, conference halls, public service centres, adequate parking, and improved facilities for employees. The plan would also allow Fort St George, one of Chennais most important heritage precincts, to be conserved without the pressure of repeated alterations to accommodate a growing government establishment. The historic buildings are expected to be preserved for future generations after the Assembly and Secretariat move. Once a site is finalised, the government is expected to proceed with detailed planning, design and implementation schedules for the new seat of administration.

TN Assembly Budget session to conclude today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 8 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly's budget session will conclude on Tuesday after completing the debate on the final set of demands for grants covering several key government departments. The state's general Budget for the 2026-27 financial year was presented in the Assembly on August 5, followed by the Agriculture Budget on August 6. Legislators debated the two Budgets on August 7, 10 and 11. Finance Minister Maria Wilson and Agriculture Minister Vinod delivered their replies to the discussions on August 12, outlining the government's fiscal priorities and responding to issues raised by members of the ruling and opposition parties. Department-wise debates on demands for grants began on August 17. During these proceedings, ministers presented the policies and programmes of their respective departments, answered questions from legislators and announced new projects and administrative measures. On Monday, the Assembly took up the demands for grants relating to the Police and Fire and Rescue Services departments. Chief Minister Vijay replied to questions and observations made by members during the discussion. His address witnessed sharp political exchanges after he publicly accused former Chief Minister and DMK leader M.K. Stalin and Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin over issues connected with the receipt of funds by their party. CM Vijay's strongly worded remarks triggered heated reactions and added to the political tension in the House. The final day's business includes debates on demands for grants relating to the Transport, Public Works, Finance, Planning and Development, State Legislature, pensions and other retirement benefits departments. Ministers in charge of these portfolios are expected to reply to the debate, address the concerns raised by the MLAs and make fresh announcements relating to departmental projects and welfare initiatives. The government is also likely to provide details of proposed expenditure and the implementation schedule for major schemes. The grant discussions are expected to be completed by Tuesday afternoon. The House will subsequently take up other listed business, including the consideration and passage of pending measures, before the session is formally brought to a close. The Budget session, which began with the presentation of the state's financial plans, has featured detailed debates on departmental allocations, governance, welfare programmes, infrastructure development and law and order. It has also witnessed intense exchanges between the government and the opposition on political and administrative issues.

Karnataka cuts Cauvery water release to Tamil Nadu by 57 pc amid rainfall dip
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 8 (IANS) The quantity of Cauvery water being released to Tamil Nadu from Karnataka's Krishnaraja Sagar and Kabini reservoirs has been reduced sharply to 5,200 cubic feet per second following a decline in rainfall and inflows across the upper catchment areas. The combined discharge had stood at 11,983 cusecs the previous day. It has now fallen by 6,783 cusecs, representing a reduction of nearly 57 per cent within a day. The decline is significant for Tamil Nadu, which closely monitors releases from Karnataka's Cauvery basin reservoirs. The water flowing downstream contributes to the storage at the Mettur Dam and supports irrigation in the Cauvery delta, where farmers rely on timely supplies for standing crops and seasonal cultivation. Of the total quantity released towards Tamil Nadu, 4,800 cusecs were being discharged from the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir, commonly known as KRS. The remaining 1,200 cusecs were being released from the Kabini reservoir. KRS is situated at Srirangapatna in Karnataka's Mandya district. Its catchment area includes Kodagu district and parts of Wayanad in Kerala. Rain has completely stopped in Kodagu, leading to a steady reduction in the volume of water entering the reservoir. By Monday morning, the water level at KRS stood at 106.84 feet against its full reservoir level of 124.80 feet. The inflow was recorded at 2,511 cusecs, while outflow remained higher at 4,800 cusecs. As discharge exceeded the inflow, the reservoir's stored water continued to decline. A similar situation was reported at the Kabini reservoir in Mysuru district. Its water level was recorded at 2,268.50 feet above sea level, compared with the full reservoir level of 2,284 feet. The inflow into Kabini stood at 2,514 cusecs, while 1,200 cusecs were being discharged downstream. The releases from Kabini and KRS together accounted for the 5,200 cusecs flowing towards Tamil Nadu. Reservoir discharges are normally regulated after considering rainfall, inflows, available storage and downstream requirements. With rainfall weakening across the upper Cauvery catchments, the authorities are expected to closely monitor reservoir levels before making further changes. The reduction has renewed attention on water availability for Tamil Nadu's Cauvery delta. Any fresh spell of rain in Kodagu and Wayanad could improve inflows into KRS, Kabini and other reservoirs in the basin.
