-

In an unusual case of bus theft, a government-owned AC bus was stolen from the Koyambedu depot in Chennai and later traced to Atmakur in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. The suspect has been taken into custody.

The incident came to light when the driver and conductor, preparing to depart for Tirupati, discovered that the bus, which had been parked at the Koyambedu depot, had gone missing. Shocked by the disappearance, they reported the matter to the depot authorities.

Following a complaint lodged by the branch manager of the Koyambedu bus workshop, the Koyambedu Police (K-11 CMBT station) registered a case and launched an investigation. The crime branch team, led by an inspector, reviewed CCTV footage from the premises and tracked the vehicle using its GPS system. The data revealed that the bus had crossed into Andhra Pradesh and was located in Nellore.

Acting swiftly, the Koyambedu police coordinated with their counterparts in Nellore and successfully recovered the stolen Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation bus from Atmakur. The suspect, identified as Gnana Sanjan Sahu from Odisha, was arrested at the scene.

The bus was brought back to Chennai, and police are currently questioning Sahu to determine his motive and whether he acted alone or with assistance. Further investigation is ongoing.

Dal Procurement Price Higher In Tamil Nadu Compared To Gujarat, ₹45 Crore Loss Risk Estimated

By
The Commune
-

Food Department officials in Tamil Nadu is holding discussions with suppliers to reduce the quoted prices for ration dal, following concerns over inflated costs compared to other states. While suppliers initially quoted ₹90 per kg, they later agreed to bring the price down marginally to ₹88.50 during negotiations.

However, it has come to light that the same companies are supplying similar imported dal to the Gujarat government at ₹81 per kg. This discrepancy has raised serious concerns, as it could potentially lead to a loss of nearly ₹45 crore for the Tamil Nadu government for a total procurement of 60,000 tonnes.

According to a senior Food Department official, the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation had floated a tender to purchase 60,000 tonnes of imported dal for distribution through ration shops. Some of the participating companies had quoted ₹90 per kg as the lowest price.

This figure is significantly higher than the prevailing open market rate of approximately ₹75 per kg. Allegations soon surfaced suggesting that the inflated price may have been aimed at benefiting select companies and facilitating kickbacks. Following media attention and public scrutiny, the procurement process was paused, and negotiations were reopened to bring down the cost.

Meanwhile, it was discovered that the same suppliers had agreed to provide the same dal to Gujarat’s Food Department for ₹81 per kg. During the renewed negotiations, Tamil Nadu officials confronted the suppliers with this data and questioned why they couldn’t offer a similar rate.

The suppliers, however, responded vaguely, citing “higher costs in Tamil Nadu” without providing a breakdown or justification for the price gap. Officials noted that no concrete explanation was offered regarding where the additional cost difference was going.

If the state proceeds with the revised ₹88.50 rate, it would pay ₹7.50 more per kg compared to Gujarat, amounting to a total excess expenditure of ₹45 crore. Officials emphasized the need for continued negotiations to bring the price in line with the Gujarat rate of ₹81 per kg to prevent unnecessary financial losses.

Velachery Congress MLA Runs To Madras High Court Seeking Relief From ECI’s Disqualification Notice For Failing To Disclose Election Expenses

By
The Commune
-

Velachery Congress MLA Aassan Maulaana J.M.H. has filed a petition in the Madras High Court challenging a show-cause notice issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on 16 March 2023 which had asked him to explain why he should not be disqualified for allegedly failing to disclose a portion of his election expenses from the 2021 Assembly elections.

The matter was heard on 12 September 2025, by the First Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G. Arul Murugan. After hearing submissions from senior advocate P. Wilson, representing the MLA, the bench issued notice to the ECI. The Commission’s counsel, Niranjan Rajagopalan, was directed to file a counter affidavit within two weeks.

Allegation Of Undisclosed Expenditure

The ECI’s notice was based on a report from the District Election Officer (DEO), forwarded via the Chief Electoral Officer, which claimed that Mr. Maulaana had failed to report ₹33.05 lakh spent on 10 advertisements published in regional newspapers on 27 and 28 March 2021. These advertisements reportedly featured the MLA’s photograph and sought votes on his behalf.

As per Sections 77 and 78 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, candidates are legally required to maintain accurate records of all campaign expenditures and submit them within 30 days of the election results. Failure to comply can result in disqualification for a period of three years under Section 10A of the Act.

While Maulaana acknowledged the advertisements, he claimed that the expenses were borne not by him but by the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC). However, the DEO rejected this explanation, asserting that the ads directly promoted his candidacy.

In his plea to the High Court, Maulaana argued that the advertisements in question were part of a broader campaign during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Tamil Nadu on 28 March 2021. According to him, these ads were placed by the TNCC to promote all 234 alliance candidates, not just himself. He stated that the advertisements featured multiple candidates and were not exclusively linked to his campaign.

The MLA also claimed that he had neither authorised the advertisements nor received any individual support from Gandhi during that visit. He argued that these details were not properly considered before the ECI issued the notice.

Maulaana also addressed the delay in challenging the ECI’s 2023 notice. He explained that although he had already submitted a detailed explanation to the Commission, he received a fresh notice on 14 August 2025, indicating a hearing without acknowledging his prior response. This prompted him to approach the High Court. The petition now seeks to have the show-cause notice quashed entirely.

Madras High Court Upholds Interim Appointment Of Venkatraman As Tamil Nadu DGP In-Charge, Dismisses PIL Challenging It

The Madras High Court on 11 September 2025 dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) that challenged the appointment of senior IPS officer G. Venkatraman as the in-charge Director General of Police/Head of Police Force (DGP/HoPF) of Tamil Nadu.

A First Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G. Arul Murugan ruled that an ad hoc arrangement was necessary to ensure the continuity of police administration until a regular DGP is appointed. The court emphasized that such temporary appointments cannot be legally contested when made to fulfil essential administrative functions.

The Bench also noted that the Supreme Court had already issued directions on September 8 regarding the regular appointment of a DGP, rendering the challenge to the temporary arrangement “completely baseless.”

The PIL was filed by R. Varadaraj, a former Inspector of Police turned advocate and current president of the Nethaji Makkal Katchi, who claimed to be actively involved in issues related to policing and governance. He argued that the state government had delayed the process of selecting a regular DGP despite the availability of several eligible officers.

Dravidian Model Tamil Nadu: ‘Untouchability Wall’ In Tiruvarur Cuts Off Dalit Access To Schools, Work

By

untouchability wall tiruvarur

A 200-metre-long wall built across a traditional pathway in Valangaiman Town Panchayat, Tiruvarur district, has triggered allegations of caste-based discrimination, with Scheduled Caste residents claiming they have been cut off from access to schools, workplaces, and public facilities.

The wall, nearly 10 feet high, was erected about three years ago at Kovilpathu in ward 14, bordering Pathiripuram in Virupachipuram panchayat. Together, the two settlements house over 1,000 Dalit families, who say the blocked pathway forces them to walk an extra kilometre via the main road. Residents said more than 800 schoolchildren are directly affected.

The disputed road, a straight two-kilometre stretch, was traditionally used for generations to reach schools, rice mills, a government hospital, and the police station. Most families in the area work as daily-wage labourers, and residents said the longer route has added both time and financial burdens to their lives.

“Earlier there was a small opening in the wall, but after a theft incident it was completely closed. This was our lifeline,” said local residents, adding that even a public park being developed nearby will be inaccessible to them because of the blockade.

Local activists have alleged that dominant caste groups support the wall to keep Dalits out of the new real estate layout. “This is an untouchability wall in all but name,” said a member of the Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front.

The developer, J. Jekabar Ali, has denied the allegations. “This is patta land belonging to me, not a common pathway. If the Revenue Department officially approaches me, we will respond,” he said.

A peace committee meeting convened in September 2024 by the then Valangaiman Tahsildar had recorded that a wooden footbridge once existed across a B-channel for public use and called for a Public Works Department survey to verify encroachment. It also suggested that land acquisition could be initiated by the Adi Dravidar Welfare Department if needed. The resolutions, however, remain unimplemented.

Current Tahsildar K. Om Sivakumar said he had written to the Special Tahsildar (Adi Dravidar Welfare) to inspect the site. “Preliminary inquiries suggest the pathway has not been in active use for some time. We will wait for the survey report,” he said.

District Revenue Officer B. Kalaivani said she would inquire into the issue, while police officials described it as a private property dispute, stating no untouchability complaint had been received so far.

Past Instances Of Such “Untouchability Walls” In TN

In Dravidian model Tamil Nadu, the news of such ‘untouchability walls’ is not new. Here are a few:

July 2021: A 9-foot-high, 150-meter-long wall was built by farm owners in Kalkandar Kottai, Trichy, allegedly to separate their land from a Dalit colony. Protesters, including local CPM members, claimed it was an “untouchability wall” erected because the owners planned to sell the land for real estate and wanted to segregate the community. Local civic officials confirmed no permission was given for the wall and promised to investigate.

February 2024: Dalit residents of Sevur, Tiruppur, alleged a one-kilometer wall was built by dominant-caste residents to block a public road, forcing them to take a 2 km detour. The local panchayat president confirmed the wall was illegally built on a common pathway and had issued a demolition notice, which was ignored. The dominant-caste residents’ association denied allegations of untouchability, claiming the wall was for safety and crop protection. The district collector ordered an inspection to verify land records.

August 2025: In Muthuladampatti, Karur, a 200-foot-long, 10-foot-high wall was constructed by the Thottia Naicker community on government land (poramboke). Arunthathiyar (SC) residents allege it is a “wall of untouchability” built to block their access to predominantly caste-Hindu areas, despite their complaints to revenue officials. The construction led to protests and peace talks, but no resolution was reached. Caste Hindus claim the wall was for “safety and security” from outsiders.

Post-Operation Sindoor, Govt Pushes For R&D Reform And Indigenous Defence Boost

By
The Commune
-

Stressing higher spending on research and development (R&D), Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said on Friday that Operation Sindoor served as a reality check for the armed forces by pointing out the areas where we can do better, where we need to adapt to the changing needs of nuclear warfare.

Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the Defence Tech 2025 Seminar – STRIDE (Synergy of Technology, Research, Industry & Defence Ecosystem) at the RSAMI, Pune, Singh said that currently, just 0.66 per cent of the GDP is spent on R&D, and two-thirds of this is done through the public sector, like the Defence Research and Development Organisation.

“We cannot move ahead in the defence sector without R&D. We need to change the current situation as the private sector has negligible contribution in this field,” he said, adding that the government has decided to share 25 per cent of the Technology Development Fund (TDF) of the DRDO with the private sector and also created a Rs 1 lakh crore research fund under department of science and technology. “In the past three years, nearly Rs 1,500 crore has been shared with start-ups and private sector firms under TDF,” he said.

Talking about indigenous efforts for defence equipment, he said, “At a broader level, as I mentioned, we have already decided that we will spend not less than 75 per cent of our defence spending domestically. Last year, we actually spent 81 per cent entirely within the country.”

He did not favour raising the country’s defence budget, saying, “Such a need may arise only when we manage to use the current budget optimally. There are no financial constraints, the finance department is willing to increase our capex by 10-15 per cent every year, and this will be sufficient to meet the requirements of the armed forces.”

Shedding light on fighter jet engines, he said the country is close to developing a collaboration with an international engine house, along with the DRDO. “That’s a long-drawn process that will take as much as a decade to develop,” said Singh at the Defence Tech 2025 Seminar – STRIDE (Synergy of Technology, Research, Industry & Defence Ecosystem) today at the RSAMI, Pune. He said efforts were also being made to reduce our dependence on foreign suppliers for marine engines as well.

The Southern Command of the Indian Army is organising the Defence Tech 2025 Seminar – STRIDE (Synergy of Technology, Research, Industry & Defence Ecosystem) today at the RSAMI, Pune. The seminar, themed “Atmanirbharta through Partnership – Industry, Academia, Armed Forces,” brought together the nation’s leading stakeholders from academia, industry, research organisations, and the Armed Forces to foster collaboration, accelerate indigenous capability development, and promote adoption of disruptive technologies in defence.

The event was attended by Lt. Gen Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, AVSM, GOC-in-C, Southern Command, alongside senior Army leadership and distinguished representatives from the defence ecosystem. The session, themed “Fast Tracking Development of Niche Tech for Indigenous Systems” saw discussions covering reverse engineering, industry-funded academic research, and DRDO’s role.

Deliberations on the growth of the Indian Defence Manufacturing Ecosystem saw the participants focus on contributions of private industry, PSUs, and academia. The seminar marked a step towards building a robust, self-reliant defence industrial base while nurturing partnerships to meet the future challenges of national security.

Five Arrested in ₹92 Lakh Land Scam In Kolathur; Buyer Duped With Forged Documents

By

land scam kolathur

The Kolathur police have apprehended a group of five individuals for allegedly orchestrating a land scam, in which they sold a property to a buyer without the knowledge or consent of the actual landowner.

According to police sources, the incident dates back to 2022, when Nandakumar (44), a resident of Periyar Nagar, was in search of a land parcel. He came across a listing on social media posted by Ramesh Kumar, who presented himself as a real estate broker. Ramesh directed Nandakumar to another agent, Murali, who was in possession of the property documents for a 1,200 sq.ft. plot located in Poompuhar Nagar, Kolathur.

Upon inspection, Nandakumar verified the documents and found that the land was registered in the name of one Dileep Kumar, who had supposedly granted power of attorney to a man named Venkatesan for the purpose of selling the property.

Negotiations ensued, and Venkatesan agreed to sell the property for ₹92 lakh, in the presence of an individual claiming to be Dileep Kumar. A sale deed was executed, and the transaction was officially registered in September 2022 at the Sembium Sub-Registrar Office, transferring the property to Nandakumar’s name.

However, just a month later, Nandakumar received a notification from the Sub-Registrar’s office stating that the registration had been revoked, as the person who posed as Dileep Kumar was found to be an impostor. The documents used in the sale were determined to be forged, prompting Nandakumar to approach the police with a complaint alleging fraud and seeking justice for the ₹92 lakh he lost.

Following an investigation, Kolathur police registered a case and arrested five suspects involved in the fraud. Those taken into custody include Venkatesan (54) from Thirunindravur, Kalilur Rahaman (50) from West Ambattur, Sayid Salahuddin (40) from Manali New Town, Abdul Razaq (73) from Erukkanchery, Abubucker (51) from Kodungaiyur, All five have been booked for their roles in the land fraud, which involved impersonation, document forgery, and cheating.

PM Modi To Address Public Meetings In Manipur, Launch ₹19,000 Cr Projects In Assam

By
The Commune
-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will begin a two-day visit to Assam, Manipur and Mizoram from Saturday, during which he will attend a series of events.

Officials said the Prime Minister would first arrive in Mizoram’s capital to inaugurate the 51.38-km Bairabi-Sairang railway project, making Aizawl the fourth capital city in the Northeast to be connected by rail after Guwahati, Agartala and Itanagar.

PM Modi, accompanied by some central ministers, will flag off three pairs of new train services connecting Aizawl with Delhi, Guwahati and Kolkata. He will also address public gatherings. The three trains are Sairang-Anand Vihar (Delhi) Rajdhani Express (weekly), Kolkata-Sairang-Kolkata Express (tri-weekly) and Guwahati-Sairang-Guwahati Express (daily). From Aizawl, the Prime Minister will fly to Manipur, his first visit since ethnic violence broke out in May 2023.

He will address public meetings in Churachandpur and Imphal. PM Modi will unveil projects valued at Rs 8,500 crore from the two places. He will lay foundation stones for various development projects worth Rs 7,300 crore from Peace Ground in Churachandpur, where Kuki-Zo tribals are the majority. The Prime Minister will also inaugurate various infrastructure projects worth Rs 1,200 crore from a public meeting to be held at the historic Kangla Fort in Imphal.

According to the officials, in both Churachandpur and Imphal, the Prime Minister is likely to meet local MLAs, leaders and Civil Society Organisations. In view of the prevailing situation in Manipur and the PM’s visit, security has been stepped up across Imphal East, Imphal West, Churachandpur, Bishnupur and adjoining districts. Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla earlier held a meeting with five MLAs, belonging to the Kuki-Zo communities in Churachandpur and discussed the visit of the Prime Minister.

The Governor, on September 7, held a meeting with BJP MLAs from the Imphal Valley region, including former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, and the BJP’s state President Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi. An official said that Chief Secretary Puneet Kumar Goel, Security Advisor to the government Kuldiep Singh, Director General of Police Rajiv Singh, and Commissioner (Home) N. Ashok Kumar also attended the meeting. Ahead of the Prime Minister’s visit to Manipur, Lieutenant General Abhijit S. Pendharkar, General Officer Commanding of Spear Corps, undertook a comprehensive visit to Churachandpur and other districts as part of his wider review of the security landscape across Manipur.

The top Army officer reviewed the security situation in different districts, including the forward areas along the India-Myanmar border and preparedness of forces in various districts, a defence spokesman said. The spokesman said that Lt Gen Pendharkar also engaged with personnel from the Indian Army, Assam Rifles, Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Manipur Police, and other security agencies deployed across Manipur. After a prolonged ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities, Manipur has been under President’s Rule since February 13, four days after the resignation of N. Biren Singh from the Chief Minister’s post. The 60-member Manipur Assembly, which, after the promulgation of President’s Rule, has been put under suspended animation, has a tenure till 2027.

After Manipur, the Prime Minister will go to Guwahati for a two-day visit. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma earlier said the Prime Minister will be on a two-day visit to Assam from September 13-14. PM Modi’s visit is centred on the birth centenary celebrations of cultural icon and Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika, and he will also inaugurate the official celebrations on September 13 in Guwahati. On Sunday (September 14), the PM would unveil projects worth over Rs 19,000 crore in various places of Assam. In Darrang district, PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for Darrang Medical College along with a nursing and a GNM school, with a combined investment for these healthcare projects worth Rs 567 crore.

He would also lay the foundation stone for the Narengi-Kuruwa bridge and the Guwahati Ring Road project, to connect Kamrup and Darrang districts in Assam and Ri Bhoi in Meghalaya, at an estimated investment of Rs 7,000 crore. According to officials in Guwahati, the PM will later leave for Numaligarh refinery in Golaghat district, where he will inaugurate the newly constructed over Rs 5,000 crore bamboo-based ethanol plant and will also lay the foundation stone for the more-than-Rs 7,000 crore Petro Fluidised Catalytic Cracker Unit.

India-France Counter-Terror Talks Condemn Pahalgam Attack, Focus On Cross-Border Terror

By
The Commune
-

India and France reaffirmed their strong commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms during the 17th Meeting of the India-France Joint Working Group (JWG) on counter-terrorism, in Paris, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday.

The Indian delegation, led by K.D. Dewal, Joint Secretary (Counter Terrorism), MEA, and the French side, headed by Olivier Caron, French Counter-Terrorism Ambassador, held the meeting on Thursday and condemned the dastardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed 26 lives.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) statement on Friday underscored the shared concerns of both nations on terrorism and emphasised the need for stronger bilateral cooperation in dealing with evolving security threats. During the meeting, the two delegations exchanged views on the current threat assessments in their respective countries.

Discussions included State-sponsored cross-border terrorism, terrorist activities in South Asia and the Middle East, and the increasing misuse of emerging technologies by terror groups. The two sides also focused on challenges posed by radicalisation and extremism, especially online. The dialogue highlighted the need for joint efforts to counter terrorist propaganda and online recruitment, an issue of growing concern globally. France and India also expressed interest in enhancing coordination at international platforms such as the United Nations, Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and No Money for Terror (NMFT) initiative.

The MEA noted, “The discussion on bilateral and multilateral cooperation focused on intensifying capacity-building measures through training and exercises. The two sides discussed cooperation in the UN, FATF and NMFT.” In addition, the two countries explored expanding the scope of their counter-terrorism dialogue to include organised crime, cybersecurity threats, and the exchange of information on online propaganda. The meeting concluded with both sides agreeing to convene the 18th JWG meeting in India at a mutually convenient date.

The longstanding counter-terrorism cooperation between India and France is seen as a vital element of their strategic partnership, rooted in shared democratic values and a joint commitment to global security.

Family Of DYFI Leader Alleges Custodial Killing, Vows Legal Fight Against CPI(M) And Police

By
The Commune
-

With several reports of police atrocities against those taken into custody surfacing, a family in Kerala’s Adoor has decided to fight for the alleged custodial death of their son.

The family of DYFI the youth wing of the CPI(M) leader Joel, who died in 2020 after alleged custodial torture, has vowed to pursue a legal battle until justice is served. Joel’s father, K.K. Joikutty, alleged that local CPI(M) leaders supported police brutality against his son, fearing he might expose party secrets.

He further stated that the CPI(M)’s claim that Joel was expelled from the party was “a lie” and insisted that the family would not relent until accountability is fixed. Joel, popularly known as Nellimukal Kochumukal Joel, was reportedly assaulted by the police on January 1, 2020, during the first Pinarayi Vijayan government (2016-21). He succumbed to his injuries four months later, on May 22.

According to the family, the assault was carried out under the instructions of CPI(M) leaders, who allegedly wanted to shield financial irregularities. They accused the then Circle Inspector U. Biju and his team of brutally beating Joel, leaving him with severe health complications that led to his death. Joel’s paternal aunt, K.K. Kunjamma, who attempted to intervene, was also allegedly beaten by the police. Despite filing complaints with the Chief Minister and the State Police Chief in 2020, the family said no action was taken. The Congress has since demanded a reinvestigation, describing the case as “deeply suspicious”.

The CPI(M) leadership, however, has dismissed the allegations, maintaining that Joel died of a heart attack and that the party had no connection to the incident. Joel was initially taken into custody following a dispute related to a vehicle accident. The subsequent assault reportedly caused serious physical problems, forcing him to undergo months of treatment. Family members said he suffered from severe complications, including pus and blood in his urine, before passing away on 22 May 2020. Reiterating their stand, Joel’s family said they would not rest until those responsible for his death are brought to justice. Meanwhile, with a fresh session of the Kerala Assembly beginning next week, the Congress-led opposition is readying a list of custodial brutalities that people have suffered under the Vijayan regime.
