CM Vijay to present Rs 17 cr reward to honour Tamil Nadu's para athletes on Thursday

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 28 (IANS) Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will present prizes worth Rs 17 crore to winners of the Chief Ministers Trophy competitions on Thursday at a ceremony that will also honour Tamil Nadus medal-winning athletes from the Para Asian Games in Japan. The event, scheduled from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, will bring together sporting achievers from the state-level competitions and the international arena. Sports Development Minister Aadhav Arjuna announced that the Chief Minister would meet and congratulate the para-athletes during the felicitation programme at the Nehru Indoor Stadium complex. Their recognition will form part of the ceremony alongside the distribution of prizes to the trophy winners. Tamil Nadus contingent returned from Japan with 15 medals, comprising three gold, five silver and seven bronze. Of the 13 athletes who represented the state at the Games, nine finished among the medallists, giving the contingent a strong showing at the competition. The medal tally reflects success across all three podium positions. Bronze medals accounted for the largest share of Tamil Nadus haul, followed by silver and gold. With nine athletes contributing to the total, more than two-thirds of the state's participants secured medals. Thursdays programme will recognise these performances while also celebrating the achievements of athletes competing closer to home. The ceremony places the states para-sport medallists alongside winners emerging from the Chief Ministers Trophy competitions. The trophy competitions began on October 15 and are being conducted across Tamil Nadu in 45 sports. Around 32,000 athletes are participating, highlighting the scale of the sporting programme and its reach across a wide range of disciplines. The Rs 17 crore in prizes will be distributed to winners of these competitions. The presentation will mark an occasion for the state to acknowledge their performances and encourage sporting talent through recognition of competitive achievement. By including both sets of achievers in the programme, the government is bringing attention to participation in State competitions as well as medal-winning performances overseas. The ceremony forms part of Tamil Nadus efforts to promote sporting talent and recognise excellence across disciplines. For the para-athletes who competed in Japan, the event will provide an opportunity to meet the chief minister and receive recognition for their contribution to the states 15-medal tally at the Games.

DMK councillor arrested for threatening remarks against CM Vijay; party functionary held for sheltering him

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 28 (IANS) Vellore DMK councillor Teeta Saravanan was arrested by Puzhal police in Tamil Nadu's Villupuram on Wednesday for allegedly making threatening remarks against Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, while referring to the 2025 Karur stampede. A special police team apprehended him at the residence of ACK Premkumar, deputy organiser of the DMKs Central District Youth Wing in Villupuram. Premkumar was also arrested for allegedly sheltering the councillor, who had been the subject of a police search following his remarks. The arrests followed the circulation of a video purportedly showing Saravanan making the comments outside Puzhal Central Prison. His reference to the Karur tragedy, in remarks directed at the Chief Minister, drew widespread criticism and prompted police to identify him and initiate action. The incident occurred when former School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi was brought to the prison after his arrest in a case involving bribery allegations. DMK supporters had gathered outside the prison and were raising slogans against the Tamil Nadu government. During the gathering, Saravanan allegedly said: If only we had finished him off back in Karur, would things have reached this state? He reportedly repeated the remark to another person standing nearby. The comments were subsequently circulated on social media, bringing the Councillors conduct under scrutiny. Puzhal police registered a case against Saravanan under four sections, including provisions relating to obstructing public servants from discharging their duties, intimidation and disturbing public peace. Three special teams were constituted to locate him after he allegedly went into hiding. According to the report, Saravanan attempted to mislead the authorities by claiming that he was travelling to Bengaluru. However, police eventually traced him to Premkumars residence in Villupuram, where the special team took him into custody. Premkumars arrest was linked to the allegation that he had provided shelter to Saravanan during the search. The report identified him as a functionary of the partys youth wing in Villupurams Central District. The police action centres on Saravanans alleged remarks outside the prison and the offences registered in connection with them. The video formed the backdrop to the subsequent police search.

PMK leader Anbumani seeks advance funding for free bus travel scheme, warns of crisis for transporters

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 28 (IANS) PMK leader Dr Anbumani Ramadoss has urged the Tamil Nadu government to release funds in advance every month for the Vettri Payanam free bus travel scheme, warning that transport corporations are struggling to meet essential operating expenses. In a statement, he alleged that delayed compensation for the expanded scheme had left the corporations facing a revenue shortfall of about Rs 25 crore, affecting purchases of diesel, tyres and spare parts. Anbumani said daily operating receipts, excluding government subsidies, had fallen from an average of Rs 21 crore to between Rs 7 crore and Rs 8 crore. Citing trade unions, he said total daily income, including subsidies for other schemes, had declined from Rs 47 crore to Rs 22 crore. The expanded Vettri Payanam scheme was launched on October 2, widening the free travel facility previously offered under the DMK governments Vidiyal Payanam programme. According to figures cited by Anbumani, the earlier programme covered 7,714 city buses, while the expanded scheme now enables about 84.32 lakh women to travel daily on 12,695 buses. He said the corporations operated 19,283 buses across the state. Compensation for the earlier scheme was estimated at Rs 3,599 crore last year and increased to Rs 3,999 crore this year, he said. The expansion had raised the estimated daily revenue foregone from around Rs 10 crore to Rs 25 crore, he added. Highlighting the immediate funding gap, Anbumani said the corporations spent Rs 16.17 crore daily on diesel and Rs 2.35 crore on maintenance, totalling Rs 18.52 crore. Daily fare collections of around Rs 8 crore were insufficient to cover these expenses, he argued. He further claimed that the corporations had accumulated Rs 150 crore in dues to oil companies since the expanded scheme began. Buying diesel on credit over the past 25 days had also cost them approximately Rs 3 crore in foregone discounts, he said, citing a two per cent concession for cash payments. The shortage of funds was forcing operators to use retreaded tyres and previously used spare parts, he alleged. Warning that continued financial strain could bring transport operations to a standstill, Anbumani reiterated that advance monthly funding was essential to sustain the free travel scheme and ensure uninterrupted bus services. He urged immediate government intervention to address the cash shortage.

TVK eyes 85 pc local body seats to strengthen grassroots link; allies seek greater share

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 28 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijays Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is preparing to contest the local body elections, with its leadership seeking around 85 per cent of seats and proposing to leave the remaining 15 per cent to its allies, according to party functionaries. The elections, likely to be in January 2027, are being viewed within the party as a test of its grassroots strength, particularly in rural areas, and its ability to draw support from women, workers, young people and other sections of the electorate. However, the proposed allocation could pose a challenge during seat-sharing negotiations. Allies, including Congress and the Muslim League, are expecting a larger share of seats and opportunities to secure mayoral positions, the functionaries said. Some alliance partners are also considering demands for control of certain municipal corporations and municipalities. TVK, meanwhile, wants to retain control of all municipal corporations, making the distribution of leadership positions another potentially contentious issue. Senior party leaders and ministers are expected to hold discussions with the allies to persuade them to accept the proposed 15 per cent allocation. The partners, citing their support for TVKs rise to power, are determined to press for greater representation. Alongside the alliance negotiations, TVK has begun identifying candidates capable of taking on the networks of the DMK and AIADMK. Party functionaries said ministers, legislators and district secretaries would lead election preparations. Information is being gathered on constituencies where TVK has strong prospects, with local influence and sustained public engagement expected to guide candidate selection. Positions in corporations, municipalities and panchayats are considered crucial to the partys future expansion. The leadership believes a stronger presence in these institutions would help consolidate its organisation and strengthen connections with communities. Preference is expected to be given to people who have worked for the party and those with an established support base in their localities. Functionaries acknowledged that CM Vijays popularity alone might not be sufficient to secure victory in elections where candidates accessibility and relationships with residents carry weight. The party therefore intends to field candidates who maintain direct contact with people in rural and urban neighbourhoods and understand local concerns. Its preparations reflect an effort to combine CM Vijays appeal with locally influential candidates, while managing allies expectations over seats and civic leadership posts. The proposed seat-sharing formula remains subject to discussions with alliance partners.
