TN Forest Department steps up surveillance in Mettur after suspected leopard attacks
Digital Desk | Salem (Tamil Nadu), Sep 20 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu Forest Department has intensified surveillance in Kannamoochi village near Kolathur in Mettur following the killings of more than 10 goats, two calves, and several dogs in attacks suspected to have been carried out by a leopard, officials said. The incidents have triggered anxiety among residents, particularly farmers and livestock owners whose houses and agricultural fields are located close to the forest boundary. Officials believe that a leopard may have strayed into the village from the adjoining Erode Forest Reserve in search of prey. Forest Department personnel inspected the affected areas after receiving complaints from villagers and examined the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Though the presence of a leopard has not yet been conclusively confirmed, officials said the nature of the attacks indicated the possible movement of a large wild animal in the locality. Mettur Forest Range Officer Sengottaiyan said Kannamoochi is a relatively small village surrounded by a substantial stretch of forest. A total of 717 hectares of forest land are located in and around the area, providing a possible route for wild animals moving from the Erode reserve. Officials suspect that the leopard may have entered the Kannamoochi forest area and later moved into nearby farmlands after failing to find sufficient prey. Apart from goats and calves, hens and dogs are also believed to have been attacked by the animal. As a precautionary measure, the Forest Department has installed cages at five strategic locations in and around the village. Camera traps have also been positioned at several points to record the animals movement, confirm whether it is a leopard and identify the areas it visits frequently. Forest personnel are conducting continuous patrols across the village, adjoining agricultural fields and forest fringes. Officials are also gathering information from residents about sightings, unusual animal sounds and fresh footprints. Villagers have been advised to remain vigilant and avoid travelling alone near the forest boundary during early morning and late evening hours. Farmers have also been asked to keep goats, calves and other livestock inside secure enclosures at night. Officials said surveillance would continue until the suspected animal was identified and safely captured. The department is taking additional precautions to prevent further livestock deaths and ensure the safety of people living near the forest area.

PMK signals alliance rethink, TVK emerges as possible partner
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 20 (IANS) The PMKs decision to stay away from the Tamil Nadu bypolls has intensified speculation about a possible change in its alliance strategy. The party is currently aligned with the AIADMK, but sources say it could explore joining the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam-led coalition. PMK President Anbumani Ramadoss has announced the party would neither contest nor extend support to any political party in the October 6 bypolls to the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies, both reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates. The decision was finalised following discussions with the PMKs state-level office-bearers and functionaries from the two constituencies. The announcement is significant as the party was expected to campaign for the AIADMK nominees under the existing alliance arrangement. According to party sources, the PMK was displeased with the AIADMK leadership for selecting and announcing its candidates without holding consultations with its ally. Its withdrawal from the campaign is being viewed as a setback for the AIADMK, particularly in Madurantakam, where the PMK has a considerable support base. The development comes amid a broader realignment in Tamil Nadu politics following TVKs victory in the 2026 Assembly election. The Congress, the CPI, the CPI-M, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, and the Indian Union Muslim League departed from their traditional political alignments and supported the TVK in forming the government. However, differences have since emerged within the ruling alliance. The CPI and the CPI-M have fielded separate candidates in Madurantakam and Dharapuram, respectively, turning the bypolls into five-cornered contests. PMK sources said the party believes the long-standing bipolar contest between the DMK and the AIADMK has weakened following the Vijay-led TVKs emergence. The leadership is therefore reportedly willing to examine new alliance possibilities. The TVK governments decision to conduct a caste census, a long-standing PMK demand, has also generated goodwill among the partys functionaries and cadres. A section of the PMK reportedly believes an alliance with TVK could revive the partys electoral fortunes and improve its chances of securing representation in the state cabinet. Recent interactions between leaders of the two parties have further fuelled speculation. Ramadoss's wife Sowmiya Anbumani recently met Water Resources Management Minister N. Anand to discuss various water-management projects in the state. Adding to the uncertainty, Ramadoss recently declined to clarify whether the PMK remained part of the AIADMK-led alliance when the question was raised during a press conference. Sources said the PMK leadership may assess the outcome of the two bypolls before taking a final decision on its political future. Any formal announcement about continuing with the AIADMK or moving towards the TVK-led front is therefore expected only after the results.

Unemployment rate declines to 3.2 pc due to various govt initiatives: Minister
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) The unemployment rate has declined from 6 per cent to 3.2 per cent as a result of various initiatives undertaken by the government, according to Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Dr L Murugan. He pointed out that the number of startups in the country, which stood at around 400 in 2014, has increased to more than 2.5 lakh, noting that a significant number of startup founders are youth below the age of 30. Murugan also underscored the importance of continuous learning, adoption of new technologies, and regular upgradation of professional skills. He highlighted the growing opportunities for youth in frontier sectors such as space technology and atomic energy, while noting the increasing participation of women across sectors, including space, defence, education, governance, and public administration. The minister added that more than 12.75 lakh appointment letters have been distributed through Rozgar Melas so far, reflecting the Governments dedicated emphasis on creating employment opportunities for the youth. He said that the newly-recruited youth entering government service would play an important role in achieving the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. The minister urged the recruits to view their responsibilities not merely as securing employment, but as an opportunity to serve the nation and contribute to its holistic development. An appointment letter is not merely an order of appointment but an opportunity to serve the nation, he said, noting that government employees function as representatives and the face of the government while interacting with citizens. He emphasised that honesty, accountability, empathy, and a humane approach towards the public should remain integral to public service. The minister highlighted that various flagship initiatives of the Government, including Make in India, Start-up India, Stand-up India, and the MUDRA loan scheme, have enabled the youth to emerge as job creators in addition to being job seekers. He stated that Dr Murugan also stated that Navodaya schools in Tamil Nadu would provide underprivileged and economically weaker students access to quality education, facilitate primary education in their mother tongue, and provide opportunities for students to learn various Indian languages.

16,500 police personnel deployed in Chennai for mass Ganesh idol immersion
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 20 (IANS) Elaborate security and traffic arrangements have been made across Chennai as hundreds of large Ganesh idols are set to be taken out in processions and immersed in the sea on Sunday. Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated on September 14, with around 37,000 idols installed at public places across Tamil Nadu after obtaining police permission. Of these, 1,562 idols were placed and worshipped in Chennai. While some idols have already been immersed, most of the larger ones will be taken in processions to designated immersion points on Sunday. The Greater Chennai Police have deployed 16,500 police personnel and 2,000 Home Guards to ensure that the processions and immersions are conducted peacefully. Police will take legal action against those who violate restrictions or disturb public order. Four coastal locations have been designated for immersion: Srinivasa Puram in Pattinapakkam, University Nagar in Neelankarai, Kasimedu Fishing Harbour and the area behind the Popular Weighing Platform in Tiruvottiyur. Special arrangements have been made at these sites in coordination with Greater Chennai Corporation officials. Police said idols should be transported only along approved routes and immersed at the locations assigned by the authorities. Authorities have established temporary control rooms and assistance centres at all immersion points. Equipment required for the immersion process has been provided, while boats will also be used to take larger idols into the sea. Fire engines, ambulances, motorboats and volunteers trained in swimming have been kept ready to handle emergencies. Watchtowers have been installed at key locations, and police personnel will monitor the processions and immersion sites using binoculars and drones. Mounted police teams will also undertake intensive patrols to prevent criminal activity and respond quickly to any untoward incident. Additional arrangements have been made at Nambikkai Nagar in Srinivasa Puram, Pattinapakkam, for this year's idol immersion.
