Death of two TN electricity department contract workers: NHRC issues notice to Chief Secretary, DGP
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), has taken suo motu cognisance of a media report that two persons, working as contract labourers with the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) died due to electrocution while repairing a high-tension overhead power line near Olaiyur Ring Road in KK Nagar, Tiruchi on December, 18, 2024. According to a statement, the Commission has observed that the contents of the media report, if true, indicate gross negligence on the part of the electricity department resulting in the death of two labourers. The Commission has also noted that such incidents have occurred earlier too in the state. This is a serious human rights violation and a matter of concern for the Commission, NHRC said in the statement. Accordingly, it has issued notices to the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police, calling for a detailed report in the matter within two weeks. It is expected to include the status of the FIR registered in the matter and compensation, if any provided to the next of kin of the two victims. The Commission would also like to know the steps taken/proposed by the State government and Tangedco to ensure that such incidents do not recur. According to the media report, as per the preliminary investigations, the power supply to the cable was not fully turned off during the repair work. The workers were on the job without any protective gear. In a similar incident, a worker was electrocuted to death while repairing a transformer in the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu last year. Last month, a migrant worker was reportedly electrocuted during the Cyclone Fengal and his body was found near an ATM in Muthialpet.

Travel between Chennai-Bengaluru to get hassle-free with Rs 1,338 crore project
The Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari recently announced that the Centre has sanctioned Rs 1,338 crore for an access-controlled highway project. The 28-kilometre highway along NH-40 will connect Walajapet in Ranipet district to the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border. The project would enhance regional connectivity, ensuring smoother travel and fostering economic growth in the region. In Tamil Nadu, we have sanctioned 1,338 crore for an Access-Controlled Highway project on NH-40, spanning 28 km from Walajapet/Ranipet to the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border, Gakari said in a post on X recently. As a part of the project, a 10-kilometre bypass around Walajapet and Ranipet is intended to reduce congestion in these towns. Moreover, four major bridges and two railway over-bridges will be built to improve travel safety and efficiency. The upcoming highway will feature a four-lane main carriageway with paved shoulders and two-lane service roads on both sides, as per Times Travel report. The design aims to ease traffic flow for both long-distance travellers and local commuters. The new highway, Times Now reports, is expected to significantly improve connectivity between key cities such as Chennai, Bengaluru, Tirupati, and Vellore. The region, especially Vellore, which is home to the renowned Christian Medical College (CMC), will benefit greatly from the highway, making it easier for patients, visitors, and medical professionals to travel. Improved access will also encourage trade, tourism, and other economic activities, boosting the local economy.

Nagapattinam's 'Tsunami Children' celebrate reunion ahead of 20th anniversary
NAGAPATTINAM: In a heartwarming reunion ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, alumni of the Annai Sathya Government Children's Home in Nagapattinam gathered on Sunday to relive their shared memories and express gratitude to those who stood by them during the disaster. The event was attended by around 40 alumni along with their families. Dr J Radhakrishnan, the Additional Secretary of Co-operation, Food, and Consumer Protection department, participated as the chief guest, accompanied by his wife, Krithika. Radhakrishnan was Thanjavur collector when the tsunami devastated Nagapattinam on December 26, 2004, claiming 6,065 lives. Following the calamity, he was posted as Nagapattinam collector to oversee relief and rehabilitation efforts. Soon after, the Tamil Nadu government established the Annai Sathya Government Children's Home, which became a sanctuary for over 100 children. Radhakrishnan and his wife went on to become 'godparents' to several children who are now adults, including Tamilarasi Vijayabalan (35), Sowmya (24), and Meena (23). My wife and I had a lovely grandparents day out. We were overwhelmed by how they have grown and continue to show us affection, Radhakrishnan told TNIE. This reunion is special, said Tamilarasi, who now works as a trainer at the home. We have always tried to gather around this time, but today, the memories feel more meaningful as we reflect on how far weve come. Sundays reunion, held at the facility, featured a feast, tree planting, and a touching recreation of group photos taken over the years. The alumni also took the opportunity to serve food to the current residents of the childrens home. Radhakrishnan honoured the alumni with gifts and praised their resilience and achievements. Collector P Akash, District Child Protection Officer V Ezhilarasi and Juvenile Justice Board member M Malarvizhi were present.
