Chennai, Tiruvallur shut schools and colleges as Cyclone Murasu looms
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 2 (IANS) Schools and colleges in Chennai and Tiruvallur will remain closed on Monday as authorities brace for heavy to very heavy rainfall associated with Cyclone Murasu, which is moving towards the Andhra Pradesh coast. The district administrations announced the precautionary holiday after the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) issued an orange alert for both districts. The warning indicates the possibility of rainfall ranging from 12 to 20 centimetres in 24 hours. With several northern Tamil Nadu districts expected to receive heavy rain, the State Revenue Administration and Disaster Management Department has directed collectors to remain on high alert and implement standard disaster management procedures. The Additional Chief Secretary and Commissioner of Revenue Administration instructed collectors to mobilise personnel, strengthen preparedness and maintain close surveillance. Any untoward incident must be reported immediately to the State Emergency Operations Centre. According to the India Meteorological Departments bulletin issued at 9.14 p.m. on Sunday, Murasu was moving west-northwestwards at 27 kmph over the southwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal. At 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, the cyclone lay about 480 kilometres east-southeast of Chennai and 550 kilometres east-southeast of Nellore. The system is expected to strengthen into a severe cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by Monday morning before turning northwestwards towards the Andhra Pradesh coast. The IMD forecast landfall between Nellore and Narsapur between 11.30 p.m. on Monday and 4 a.m. on Tuesday. Wind speeds during the crossing could reach 100110 kmph, gusting to 120 kmph. Besides the orange alert for Chennai and Tiruvallur, a yellow alert has been issued for Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Ranipet, Vellore and the Nilgiris on Monday, with heavy rainfall of 711 centimetres likely. Tuesdays rainfall warning is confined to isolated heavy showers in the Nilgiris. Squally winds reaching 5565 kmph, gusting to 75 kmph, are forecast at isolated locations in Tiruvallur, Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Ranipet, Vellore, Tiruvannamalai and Villupuram districts, besides Puducherry, on Monday. Other northern coastal districts could experience winds of 4050 kmph, with gusts reaching 60 kmph. The RMC has also warned of thunderstorms and lightning accompanied by gusty winds of 4050 kmph at isolated places across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal on Monday. The thunderstorm warning remains in force at isolated locations until November 5, extending beyond the cyclones expected landfall window along the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh coastline.
Aavin proposes Rs 5 per litre milk price hike, awaits govt approval
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 2 (IANS) Tamil Nadus cooperative milk supplier Aavin has recommended increasing its retail milk prices by Rs 5 per litre, citing financial pressure on its operations and difficulties faced by milk outlet operators. The proposed revision will take effect only if the State government approves it. According to Aavin sources, Rs 4 from the proposed increase would go to the cooperative, while the remaining Re 1 would benefit outlet operators. The recommendation seeks to improve their financial viability amid rising operating expenses. Aavin procures around 35 lakh litres of milk daily, while sales in Chennai alone account for approximately 15 lakh litres. Its relatively affordable prices make it an important supplier to households and commercial establishments. Currently, a 500 ml orange milk packet costs Rs 30, while green and purple packets of the same quantity are priced at Rs 24. The blue packet sells for Rs 20. Outlet operators receive a commission of just 75 paise per packet, which they say is inadequate to meet electricity charges, shop rents and other expenses. Many struggle to sustain their businesses despite steady demand for Aavin milk. Sources said the financial difficulties have resulted in newly opened outlets shutting down within months, a pattern reported across several districts. The proposed increase includes a component intended to support these retailers and help them continue operating. The price difference between Aavin and private brands has also increased demand from commercial buyers. Private companies sell milk at more than Rs 75 per litre, according to the sources. Hotels, tea shops and sweet shops consequently purchase substantial quantities of Aavin milk, sometimes leaving retail outlets without sufficient supplies for household consumers. Explaining the recommendation, Aavin sources said low selling prices had placed pressure on farmers, the cooperative and outlet operators. The governments recent increase in milk procurement prices had provided relief to farmers, they said. However, the financial concerns of the cooperative and its retail network still needed to be addressed. The proposed retail price revision was therefore submitted for government consideration. The sources also cited Karnatakas recent milk price increases of up to Rs 8 per litre, saying the revision recommended for Tamil Nadu was lower. For now, the Rs 5 increase remains a proposal, with implementation dependent on the governments decision. Existing retail prices continue to apply pending approval.

3 South Korean firms to invest over Rs 1,600 crore in India
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) An Indian state, Andhra Pradesh, has secured investment commitments worth Rs 1,614 crore from three South Korean automotive component manufacturers, providing a significant boost to its manufacturing base, as per reports. With supply to global carmakers Hyundai and Kia, three firms -- Hwashin, Seoyon and Iwamet -- have signed agreements with the Andhra Pradesh government to establish manufacturing facilities in Anantapur district, they added. In addition, the proposed projects are expected to generate around 1,400 jobs and strengthen Anantapur's position as an emerging automobile and auto-components production hub. Among the three companies, one has committed an investment of Rs 850 crore, while another plans to invest Rs 514 crore and the third Rs 250 crore. Collectively, the projects are expected to create about 1,418 employment opportunities. The investment commitments follow a visit by Andhra Pradesh Minister for IT, Electronics and Human Resource Development Nara Lokesh to South Korea in July, where he held discussions with companies linked to Hyundai and Kia's global supply chain. Reports claim that the state's Economic Development Board subsequently maintained engagement with the companies, translating initial discussions into investment proposals. The development is being viewed as a notable gain for Andhra Pradesh amid increasing competition among southern states to attract global manufacturers and their suppliers. Tamil Nadu -- which hosts a well-established automobile manufacturing ecosystem and a large number of South Korean companies -- had also been pursuing investments from Korean firms. According to the auto industry, these companies had held discussions about potential expansion or investment opportunities in Tamil Nadu in recent years. Moreover, South Korea remains an important source of foreign investment for India's automotive, electronics, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing sectors. Several state governments have intensified outreach efforts to attract Korean companies seeking to expand their presence in India. Additionally, Hyundai registered a 16.7 per cent increase in domestic wholesales to 62,799 units in October. Strong festive demand, coupled with healthy momentum in both domestic and export markets, helped us set this new sales record, said Hyundai Motor India MD and CEO Tarun Garg.

Heavy rain disrupts Chennai as severe cyclone Murasu nears Andhra coast
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 2 (IANS) Heavy rain disrupted daily life across Chennai on Monday morning, leaving roads waterlogged and keeping civic teams on alert as severe cyclonic storm Murasu moved over the Bay of Bengal towards the Andhra Pradesh coast. Northern neighbourhoods recorded some of the heaviest rainfall, with Parrys receiving 149.2 mm in the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. on Monday. New Manali Town registered 141.6 mm, followed by Manali with 136.2 mm, according to the Greater Chennai Corporations Integrated Command and Control Centre. The corporations rainfall report showed very heavy rain at five monitoring locations and heavy rain at another 28. The latter included locations in Madhavaram, Puzhal, Manali, Ennore, Basin Bridge and parts of Tondiarpet, highlighting the widespread impact of the continuing wet spell across northern Chennai. Moderate rainfall was recorded at 25 locations, including Korattur, Ayapakkam, Valasaravakkam, Alandur, Pallikaranai and Sholinganallur. The distribution showed that southern and western neighbourhoods also received rain, although the highest totals were concentrated in the northern parts of the city. Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner G.S. Sameeran inspected water stagnation on Besant Road in Triplicane and reviewed the civic response. He also visited the Integrated Command and Control Centre at the Ripon Building to assess relief measures and monitoring operations. Senior corporation officials and field teams remained on alert to drain waterlogged roads and maintain essential services in affected neighbourhoods. The control centre continued monitoring conditions as civic personnel attended to rain-related problems across the city. Meanwhile, rough waves lashed Chennais beaches on Monday morning as the cyclonic system intensified, adding to the unsettled weather along the coast. According to the India Meteorological Departments bulletin issued at 5 a.m., Murasu had strengthened into a severe cyclonic storm. At 2.30 a.m., its centre lay approximately 260 km east-northeast of Chennai and 290 km east-southeast of Nellore. The weather department said the storm was expected to cross the Andhra Pradesh coast between Nellore and Narsapur, close to Ongole, between midnight on November 2 and the early hours of November 3. The system was packing sustained winds of 100110 kmph, gusting to 120 kmph, according to the bulletin. With the storm approaching the Andhra coast, Chennais civic response remained focussed on clearing accumulated rainwater, monitoring affected areas and sustaining essential services as the city continued to experience the wet spell. Meanwhile, anticipating the possibility of large-scale damage to electricity infrastructure, particularly uprooting of electric poles in areas likely to be affected by the cyclone, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday spoke to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar requesting them to send necessary personnel and machinery to Andhra Pradesh to undertake electricity infrastructure restoration works. According to an official release late on Sunday night, both Chief Ministers responded positively and assured of extending all possible assistance to Andhra Pradesh. Chandrababu Naidu informed them that Andhra Pradesh officials would coordinate with their counterparts in the two states to facilitate the required support. Personnel from Telangana are already engaged in field-level operations to restore the electricity infrastructure damaged by Cyclone Arnab. As a precautionary measure, the Andhra Pradesh Government has also kept electricity department personnel, who have completed restoration works in Cyclone Arnab-affected areas, ready for deployment in regions likely to be affected by Cyclone Murasu.
