Banner triggers clash of AIADMK, DMK men Tension prevailed in Oorthanadu near Thanjavur following a clash between AIADMK and DMK men over erecting a banner. Soda bottles were thrown at each other and five AIADMK cadre sustained injuries. Mother drives lovelorn girl to suicide A 24-year-old woman committed suicide by setting herself afire at Maraimalainagar yesterday after her mother scolded her for having fallen in love with a married man. A 50-year-old woman was killed when a speeding car knocked down her, while she was trying to cross the main road at Maraimalai Nagar. Last night’s death of 28 persons at a TASMAC bar in Tirupur may have nothing to do with it. But the indications emanating from government circles are that the TASMAC bars, which are increasingly becoming a synonym for seedy joints, may be shut down. The TASMAC shops merely selling liquor and independent bars will however continue to function. Three unidentified men, donning helmets, snatched away as much as 11 sovereigns of gold jewellery from women in two different incidents in city.

Karan was almost a forgotten man in Kollywood when Kokki happened. If that film gave him a new lease of life, the burly actor has not done any damage to his new found image with his role in Karuppusamy Kuthagaikarar, says K V Vasudevan For him, the 3 Ds blended very well If your three Ds - devotion, dedication and determination - blend well, you will certainly end up with what you have desired for. And Dr Rajesh Kumar was one such person who got it blended and made it to the toppers league. G Saravanan talks to Rajesh. Rain may come, go but canals are full of silt A few months to go, and we may have the monsoon rains lashing the State
capital mercilessly. And what is sure to become everyone’s nightmare during
that time is the state of the stormwater drains - which more often than
not would still be in a bad state. Even after the flooding that occurred
a year back, nothing seems to have changed, says V Ashok Kumar.
