LEAD STORIES
The PMK, lead by its irrepressible supremo Dr S Ramadoss, has been taking potshots at the DMK government for quite some time now. But now it seems to have upped the ante dramatically, and come out with a sweeping charge against the whole of Dravidian parties. Police arrested a man after a hot chase on the 200 Feet Road near Manali and they are searching for a second man. The two men tried to hijack a vehicle. 30 rapes in 30 days: Auto driver tells it all Lone and unsuspecting girls travelling in late hours were sitting ducks for a serial rapist who as driver of share auto evaded police net while mercilessly carrying on his evil designs on innocent victims. CM to hold meet with top officials A two-day Collectors and Police Officers conference will be held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi here from 30 July. AIADMK to protest in Ramanathapuram AIADMK would stage a protest demonstration in front of Ramanathapuram Railway station on 31 July against the inordinate delay in the commissioning of BG train services from Madurai to Rameswaram. Karunanidhi's son hospitalised M K Muthu, son of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, has been admitted to a private hospital here today after he developed some health complications. Karunanidhi called on his ailing son and enquired about his health. These are not the most courteous of times. With reputations of even national 'heroes', past and present, going for a toss and the credibility of public personalities and institutions constantly under test, disrespect looks like a natural national habit and a generational trait. Editor T R Jawahar writes. Interlinking of rivers or wife's birthday? This week I really want to talk about the issue of interlinking rivers in Tamilnadu and also all of India. Both Kalam and Karunanidhi have shared their thoughtful ideas on this. The two have asked why can't we do it. Associate Editor K Balakumar writes. My favourite poems and poets-III I fully endorse the view of Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) that the crown of literature is poetry, it is its end and aim. It is the sublimest activity of the human mind. It is the achievement of beauty and delicacy. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes. V Sundaram writes. Huge posters and cutouts around Chennai announce the comeback of the light music performer Divya Rajan to the stage after more than a decade. V Padmasini writes. |
