Sridevi Apalla on her role in Haiku: Even after dubbing, I found it difficult to let go!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) Actress Sridevi Apalla, who is now making her debut in Tamil cinema with 'Haiku' after having impressed audiences and critics with her performance in the superhit Telugu court drama Court: State Vs Nobody, says that the character she portrayed in 'Haiku' continued to stay with her even after she completed dubbing for it. Following her memorable Telugu debut in Court: State Vs Nobody, where her understated performance won her appreciation beyond the Telugu-speaking audience, Sridevi has now entered Tamil cinema with the recently released Haiku. Speaking about the emotional hold her character had on her, she said, When Yuvaraj narrated the script, I could sense that my character carried so many layers of emotion. There were days when I would return home after the shoot, but a part of me would still be living in that character. Even after I completed dubbing, I found it difficult to let go. It was as though the character had left a little bit of herself within me, and I was still carrying those emotions. That is something I will always cherish about Haiku. She went on to add, I am deeply thankful to my producers and director for trusting me with this opportunity, and to my co-star Aegan for being part of this wonderful experience. Some roles end when the work is done, but a few stay with you in ways words can hardly explain. This character will always be one of those roles for me. For the unaware, Haiku has been written and directed by Yuvaraj Chinnaswamy and stars Aegan, Sridevi and Femina George in the lead. Apart from the lead actors, the film also features Adirchi Arun, Subramaniya Sethu, Adhiyaman, Mime Gopi and Indhumathi Manigandan, among others. Produced by Dr. D. Arulanandhu and Mathewo Arulanandhu under the Vision Cinema House banner, the film features music by Siddhu Kumar, cinematography by Priyesh Gurusamy, editing by Sakthi Praneesh P and additional screenplay by Hariharan Ram.

Early Alzheimers, cancer research paper mills and treatment access | Health Wrap 56
In the 56th episode of Health Wrap by The Hindu, Ramya Kannan, Health Editor, The Hindu, and Zubeda Hamid, Senior Assistant Editor, The Hindu, discuss health issues that highlight the importance of early diagnosis, reliable scientific evidence and access to treatment. The episode looks at how early-onset Alzheimers disease can present differently in people below the age of 65, with symptoms affecting language, vision and other thinking abilities, sometimes making diagnosis more challenging. It also examines concerns over more than 4,000 cancer research papers flagged for suspected links to paper mills, businesses that produce and sell research papers, sometimes using fabricated data or manipulated findings. The discussion explains why such concerns matter for the reliability of scientific evidence, while noting that flagged papers require further investigation. The episode also looks at concerns raised by families of children living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in Keralam over a generic drug. With SMA affecting the nerve cells that control muscle movement, treatment and ongoing care can be crucial. Families need clear information about the safety, effectiveness and quality of medicines, alongside affordable and accessible treatment options for this rare genetic condition.

TN clears 50,000 free power connections for farmers; over 3 lakh still await supply
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu government has approved 50,000 new agricultural electricity connections this year, providing relief to farmers awaiting power supply for irrigation, while committing to subsidise their electricity consumption. The Energy Department has issued a government order authorising the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) to implement the programme. The approval follows a proposal submitted by the utility after Electricity Minister C.T.R Nirmal Kumar announced the initiative during the Assemblys budget session in August. Of the connections approved, 20,000 will be provided under the normal category, with the government meeting the entire cost. Another 3,372 connections will be issued through the self-financing scheme, under which farmers deposit the amount required for their sanctioned electricity load. The largest share, comprising 25,282 connections, has been allocated to the Tatkal fast-track scheme, which offers applicants a shorter waiting period. The remaining 1,346 connections will be provided under various government schemes. The government will subsidise the recurring electricity consumption charges for the additional connections, estimated at Rs 127.56 crore. TNPDCL will bear the installation expenditure, which is expected to be around Rs 750 crore. The allocations cover connections under different payment and application arrangements, while extending the states free electricity policy to the agricultural consumers brought into the network through the programme during the year. Tamil Nadu provides free electricity to agricultural consumers as a policy measure, compensating the distribution utility through government subsidies. Around 24 lakh agricultural electricity connections across the state currently benefit from the arrangement. In the 2025-26 financial year, the government released more than Rs 7,000 crore towards the subsidy for free agricultural power. The newly approved connections will add to the number of beneficiaries covered by the continuing support programme. The decision comes against the backdrop of a substantial backlog of applications. More than three lakh farmers are still waiting for agricultural electricity connections, highlighting the continuing demand for access to power for farming operations. The previous DMK government provided 1.70 lakh free agricultural connections between 2021 and 2026. Despite those additions, the waiting list has remained sizeable. The latest approval sets out the number of connections to be released under each category, and the financial responsibilities of the government and TNPDCL. Its implementation will bring another 50,000 agricultural consumers into the electricity network, although a significant backlog will remain.

Red alert for Theni, Dindigul, Madurai amid heavy rain forecast for TN
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) A red alert has been issued for Theni, Dindigul and Madurai districts, with the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasting extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places on Sunday as the northeast monsoon remains vigorous over Tamil Nadu. The three districts could receive more than 20 centimetres of rain at one or two locations, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds. The warning comes amid widespread rainfall across the state and the strengthening of a weather system over the Bay of Bengal. An orange alert has also been issued for Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Tiruvarur, Thanjavur, Pudukkottai, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Tiruchi, Karur, the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Sivaganga districts, besides the Karaikal region. These areas are likely to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall with thunder and lightning. The forecast places southern districts under particular scrutiny, while several central, delta, and western districts also face the prospect of intense rainfall. The alerts indicate that the severity of rain is expected to vary across the affected regions. According to the weather departments report, the Nilgiris recorded exceptionally heavy rainfall during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Saturday. Burliar registered the highest rainfall of 25 centimetres, followed by Lower Kotagiri Estate with 20 centimetres and Coonoor with 17 centimetres. The substantial rainfall in the hill district adds to concerns over the continuing monsoon spell, with further heavy rain forecast for the Nilgiris and neighbouring western districts covered by the orange alert. Meanwhile, the low-pressure area over the east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area on Saturday and subsequently developed into a depression, the department said. The system is expected to move west-northwestwards and strengthen into a deep depression on Sunday. It could intensify further into a cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by Monday morning. Thereafter, the weather system is likely to continue moving west-northwestwards and reach the west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast by the morning of October 28. The forecast describes the systems expected movement and intensification over the sea. It does not specify a landfall location or time. With the northeast monsoon active and the Bay of Bengal system gathering strength, the departments latest forecast points to another spell of intense rain across multiple parts of Tamil Nadu on Sunday.
RSS to hold route marches across TN today after Madras HC's permission
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 25 (IANS) The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will hold route marches in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu on Sunday, following a Madras High Court order permitting the organisation to conduct processions at 128 locations across the state on October 25 and November 2. Seven locations in Chennai and its suburban areas have been identified for Sundays marches: Tiruvottiyur, Kolathur, Egmore, Korattur, Ayyappanthangal, Medavakkam and Chromepet. The processions form part of the organisations annual Vijayadashami observances, during which uniformed volunteers participate in marches and public meetings. In Egmore, the procession is scheduled to begin near the Ramada Hotel at 4 p.m. and conclude near the Rajarathinam Stadium. A public meeting will be held at the concluding venue, according to the programme announced by the organisation. The Kolathur march will start at 3 p.m. near the Kamaraj statue at Peravallur. The organisation has announced separate starting times and venues for the processions, with participants assembling at the designated locations before the marches begin. The courts permission followed a petition filed by RSS State secretary Jagadeeshan after the Vijay government denied approval for the proposed events. Hearing the petition, the High Court allowed marches at the 128 locations on the two specified dates. The organisation had sought permission for the statewide programme as part of its centenary celebrations. Founded on Vijayadashami in 1925, the RSS completed 100 years in 2025 and is now marking its entry into its second century through programmes in different parts of the country. Vijayadashami holds particular significance for the organisation because it commemorates its founding. Its annual observances traditionally include processions involving volunteers in uniform, followed by gatherings at which speakers address participants and supporters. According to the RSS, route marches have been organised in Tamil Nadu for about seven decades. Permission for these events has, however, been the subject of disputes between the organisation and the state authorities in previous years. During the tenure of the previous DMK government, the organisation approached the courts after permissions were refused. It subsequently conducted marches after securing judicial clearance, including through proceedings before the Supreme Court. Sundays events will take place under the latest High Court order. The remaining processions covered by the permission are scheduled for November 2, completing the organisations planned programme across the states 128 approved locations.
