TVK functionary hacked to death in Chennai, five arrested as Oppn targets TN govt
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) The murder of a ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) functionary in Chennai has triggered a fresh political confrontation over law and order in Tamil Nadu, with opposition parties on Sunday stepping up their attack on the C. Joseph Vijay-led state government ahead of an Assembly debate on the functioning of the police department. Kannan, a TVK functionary, was chased by an armed gang and hacked to death with machetes at Besant Nagar on Saturday night. Police have arrested at least five people in connection with the killing and launched further investigations to establish the sequence of events and identify everyone involved. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from the locality, including visuals believed to have captured the attack. The footage subsequently circulated on social media, drawing widespread attention to the killing. Police said Kannan had several criminal cases against him and was classified as a history-sheeter. Preliminary findings indicate that longstanding personal hostility could have led to the attack, with investigators looking at the possibility of a revenge killing. The background of those arrested and their alleged links with the victim are also being investigated. The murder quickly assumed political significance, with Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin accusing the TVK government of failing to maintain law and order in the state. He alleged that people with criminal backgrounds were finding refuge in the ruling TVK and questioned the state government's claims of having improved policing and public security. Udhayanidhi also said that the murder had occurred in the state capital just before Chief Minister Vijay was scheduled to respond to the debate on the Police demand for grants in the State Assembly. Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) President Anbumani Ramadoss also criticised the state government, linking the Besant Nagar murder to a series of recent crimes reported in and around Chennai. Referring to three ATM robberies reported in the city's suburbs during the past fortnight, Anbumani alleged that incidents of violent crime and robbery were creating a sense of insecurity among residents. He called for greater accountability within the police machinery and sought stronger surveillance and intelligence gathering to prevent serious crimes. Police, meanwhile, are continuing their investigation into Kannan's murder and are examining whether more suspects were involved in planning or carrying out the attack.

Three of family killed after car hits bike in Kerala, search underway for driver
Thrissur (Kerala), Sep 6 (IANS) In a tragic road accident in Kerala's Thrissur district, a couple and their three-year-old son were killed after a speeding car rammed into their motorcycle, officials said on Sunday. Police said that a search is currently underway to trace the driver of the car who fled from the spot following the accident. The deceased have been identified as Muneer, 35, his wife Shafna, 28, and their three-year-old son, Mohammed Ameen Aibak. They were residents of Panchavadi Thazhatheth House at Edakkazhiyur in Chavakkad. According to police, the accident occurred at around 11.30 pm on Saturday on the GuruvayurKunnamkulam road. The family was returning home after attending a wedding ceremony when they stopped their motorcycle by the roadside to attend a phone call. Meanwhile, a car bearing registration number KL-46-U-6001, travelling in the same direction, reportedly lost control and crashed into their motorcycle. The impact was so severe that all three occupants of the bike were thrown nearly 50 metres away. Though they were rushed to different private hospitals with serious injuries, none of them could be saved. Police officials said the car driver, who was allegedly returning from a bar in the Kunnamkulam area, fled the scene immediately after the accident. Two other people who were travelling in the car have been taken into police custody and are being questioned. Police have launched a search for the absconding driver. In a similar tragedy, eight engineering college students from Tamil Nadu were killed after the car in which they were travelling rammed into a stationary goods lorry on National Highway 66 at Kaipamangalam in Thrissur district around midnight on Friday. The accident occurred at Panambikkunnu Centre on a stretch of the national highway where construction work is underway. The Tamil Nadu-registered car, carrying eight people, crashed into the rear of the lorry, which had been parked near a diversion created as part of the ongoing highway works. The impact of the collision was severe, leaving the car completely mangled and trapping its occupants inside. Local residents and rescue personnel rushed to the spot after learning about the accident. The damaged vehicle had to be cut open to extricate the victims. Seven of the occupants are understood to have died at the accident site, while another victim was rushed to hospital but could not be saved.

CM Vijay salutes police personnel on Tamil Nadu Police Day
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Sunday extended greetings to police personnel on state Police Day, praising their courage, sacrifice and commitment to maintaining peace, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law across the state. In a message posted on social media, Vijay said the observance commemorated the enactment of the Madras District Police Act in 1859, a landmark measure that paved the way for the establishment of a modern and organised police force in the region. The Chief Minister said police personnel perform an indispensable public service by preventing crime and maintaining law and order. Their responsibilities, he noted, extend well beyond routine policing, particularly when communities face emergencies, hazardous situations or natural disasters. Police officers repeatedly place themselves at risk to protect the lives, property and rights of the people, Vijay said. Their bravery and sacrifices while serving on the ground deserve enduring recognition and appreciation from society, he added. Conveying his heartfelt wishes to all members of the force, the Chief Minister said their selfless work was essential for ensuring social peace and firmly establishing the rule of law. He acknowledged that police personnel often discharge demanding duties under difficult conditions and carry substantial professional responsibilities. Vijay said his government would give priority to measures aimed at reducing the workload faced by police personnel. It would also seek to improve their efficiency by equipping the force with modern technological facilities, enabling officers to respond more effectively to changing policing requirements and public safety challenges. The government would simultaneously ensure that necessary welfare programmes were available to police personnel and their families, he said. The statement placed emphasis on both professional modernisation and the personal well-being of those serving in the department. The Police Day message presented these commitments as part of the administrations broader responsibility to support the force while strengthening law enforcement. Better technology, manageable workloads and dependable family welfare measures are expected to help personnel perform their duties with greater effectiveness and confidence. Vijay concluded by saluting police personnel serving throughout Tamil Nadu and recognising their role in safeguarding communities during ordinary times as well as crises. He thanked officers for their steadfast public service. Their continuing service, he said, remained central to public order, citizens security, and the protection of fundamental rights.

Rains forecast rains in 12 districts of Tamil Nadu today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Widespread rain has brought relief from oppressive heat across several parts of Tamil Nadu, while the Regional Meteorological Centre forecast moderate showers in 12 districts on Sunday. Several districts received rain on Saturday after a spell of hot and largely dry weather. In Sivaganga, blazing sunshine during the day gave way to showers at night, leaving water accumulated on some roads. Heavy rain was reported in Kalappur, Chathurvedimangalam, Piranmalai and Surakudi near Singampunari. Residents of Sattur and nearby Chinnapalli, Mettamalai, Chinnakamampatti and Irukkankudi in Virudhunagar district welcomed the rainfall, which arrived after several months. Moderate rain was also reported in parts of the Coimbatore metropolitan area, producing cooler conditions. Perambalur town and several surrounding areas, including Arumadal, Kavulpalayam, Eraiyur, Perali and Thuraimangalam, experienced showers that brought down temperatures. In and around Ulundurpet in Kallakurichi district, hot winds prevailed during the day before evening rain provided much-needed respite. Tirunelveli witnessed a sudden sunshower while bright sunshine continued. Moderate rainfall in Andipatti, Chakkampatti, and Theppampatti in Theni district cheered farmers. Strong winds and heavy rain lashed Thuvarankurichi near Manapparai in Tiruchi district for the second consecutive day. Heavy showers also fell over parts of Tiruvarur district, including Sannanallur, Poonthottam, Peralam, Thirukkottaram and Andipandal. Farmers engaged in paddy cultivation said the rain was beneficial to their fields. Rainfall was recorded in Mayiladuthurai town, Kuthalam, Mangainallur and Komal. Although it eased the heat, the showers caused concern among farmers waiting with harvested paddy bags at procurement centres. Moderate rain also occurred in Thanjavur, Poondi, Ammapettai, Saliyamangalam, Surakkottai and Kattur. Across the affected districts, the change in weather was most noticeable after sunset, when clouds gathered following intense daytime heat. The rain offered comfort to residents and helped standing crops in several farming belts. However, cultivators who had already completed harvesting remained vulnerable because paddy stored in the open could be damaged. The Met Department said moderate rain was likely in the Western Ghats districts of the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Theni, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, Virudhunagar and Kanniyakumari. Madurai and Sivakasi were also expected to receive showers. Chennai and its suburbs may experience moderate rain during the evening or night. However, interior Tamil Nadu is likely to remain dry for the next four days, with maximum temperatures rising up to four degrees Celsius above normal in some places.

Farmers in TN's Salem raise alarm over poor yield from subsidised maize seeds
Salem (Tamil Nadu), Sep 6 (IANS ) Maize farmers in several parts of Tamil Nadu's Salem district have raised concerns over the performance of a seed variety distributed by the state Agriculture Department under a government subsidy scheme, claiming that poor yields have left many unable to recover their cultivation costs. Farmers in Attur, Pethanaickenpalayam, Vazhapadi, and neighbouring areas said the variety -- Advanta 762 -- supplied last season was unsuitable for Salems soil and climatic conditions. They have urged the government to provide an alternative variety or restore the earlier subsidy system that allowed them to purchase seeds of their choice. Salem District Farmers Welfare Association President V.S. Govindaraj said farmers harvested only about 15 bags of maize per acre from the subsidised seeds last year, compared with nearly 40 bags from better-performing varieties. A successful maize crop could earlier earn a farmer a profit of around Rs 2 lakh, he said. However, cultivators using the subsidised variety struggled even to meet their expenses. The seeds, normally priced at around Rs 420 per kilogram, are being supplied to farmers at Rs 320 after subsidy. Many cultivators are reportedly reluctant to purchase the same variety again this season. Govindaraj alleged that farmers in some places were being warned that refusing to buy the seeds could affect their eligibility for other government benefits. He also expressed concern that the seeds, which have a limited shelf life, could expire if they remained unsold. The state has sanctioned 58 tonnes of subsidised maize seeds for Salem this season, including 18.5 tonnes for Pethanaickenpalayam block. Distribution is focused on Attur, Gangavalli, Pethanaickenpalayam, Kolathur, and Thalaivasal. Agriculture officials, however, defended Advanta 762, saying it was notified by the Union government for cultivation in five states. Supplied through the National Seeds Corporation, it is distributed across 20 Tamil Nadu districts. Officials said the Salem allocation would cover approximately 1,866 hectares and that every batch was inspected before distribution and met the prescribed 90 per cent germination standard. Joint Director of Agriculture K. Srinivasan attributed last years poor yield mainly to inadequate rainfall. Under favourable conditions, the certified F1 variety could yield around 3.5 tonnes per acre, he said. The department has also sourced the cheaper DHM 206 variety following farmers reluctance to buy Advanta 762.

Kallanai set to release Cauvery water for Delta irrigation today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Water released from the Mettur Dam has reached the historic Kallanai in Tiruchi district, paving the way for its discharge into the Cauvery delta irrigation network on Sunday morning. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the Mettur dam on September 1 to supply water to the Cauvery-irrigated regions. The initial release of 5,000 cubic feet per second was subsequently increased to 7,000 cusecs as officials monitored inflow and requirements of farmers in the delta districts. The released water crossed the Mukkombu regulator in Tiruchi district before reaching Kallanai on Saturday morning. However, because the volume arriving at the barrage remained relatively low, the structure had not filled completely by evening. Water had accumulated near the sluice gates leading to the Cauvery, Vennar and Kollidam rivers. Officials said water would be released from Kallanai on Sunday for delta irrigation. The discharge is expected to benefit agricultural areas served by the network of rivers and channels branching from the ancient barrage, a crucial distribution point in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery system. Six ministers -- Anand, Vinoth, Ramesh, Shahjahan, Mohamad Parvez and Rajkumar -- are scheduled to attend the opening ceremony. MLA Vijay Saravanan, Thanjavur District Collector Revathi, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Jayakumari and Monitoring Engineer Dileepan will also participate, along with Members of Parliament and other legislators. The ceremony will be held in a festive atmosphere. Ministers and senior guests will be escorted from the palace area to the barrage with drums and traditional percussion instruments as part of the customary Kallanai celebrations. Special prayers have also been conducted at the Anjaneyar temple on the banks of the Kollidam and at the Vinayakar and Karuppannasamy temples ahead of the release. According to figures available on Saturday evening, the water level in the Mettur reservoir stood at 92.25 feet. The dam was receiving an inflow of 8,075 cusecs, while 7,000 cusecs were being discharged. Farmers across the delta will closely watch the flow over the coming days, as the timely movement and regulated distribution of Cauvery water are critical for standing crops and seasonal cultivation in Thanjavur and neighbouring delta districts. Water Resources Department officials are expected to adjust releases in accordance with reservoir inflows, field requirements and conditions across the canal system.

Demand surges for TN Assembly visitor passes ahead of CM Vijays reply in House
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Visitor passes for Monday's Tamil Nadu Assembly proceedings are in heavy demand, as students and members of the public seek to watch Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay respond to the debate on demands for grants for the Home Department. Online reservations for school and college visitors were almost full by Saturday evening, reflecting heightened interest in CM Vijay's scheduled reply on September 7. Assembly officials said the 11 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. viewing slot had been completely booked, while only a few seats remained for the 10.30 a.m. to 11 a.m. slot as of 7.30 p.m. on Saturday. Officials attributed the rush primarily to the Chief Minister's presence in the House and the significance of the Home Department debate. The department covers crucial areas including policing, law and order, public safety and internal security, making the government's response one of the closely watched moments of the session. Students wishing to attend the proceedings must register through the dedicated facility available on the Assembly's official website. The arrangement allows educational institutions and individual students to reserve seats in advance, subject to availability and entry regulations. Visitors can follow the proceedings from two types of seating facilities inside the Assembly hall. Eight box-style galleries provide five seats each, while benches placed on both sides of the hall can collectively accommodate about 100 to 150 people at a time. An Assembly official said that public attendance had risen sharply since the TVK-led government assumed office. The number of visitors increases further whenever Vijay attends the session, as many people are keen to see the Chief Minister in person and observe the functioning of the legislature. According to the official, between 2,000 and 3,000 people now watch the Assembly proceedings each day. The figure includes visitors attending through different viewing slots during the day, rather than the number accommodated inside the galleries at any single time. The packed reservations also point to growing curiosity among young people about legislative debates and the new government's performance inside the House so far. The exceptional demand for Monday's passes underlines the public attention surrounding Vijay's administration and its handling of the Home portfolio. With the most sought-after slot already filled and remaining seats disappearing quickly, officials expect the galleries to remain crowded when the Chief Minister delivers his reply.
