Tamil Nadu govt bans screening of movie 'Dam 999'
Posted on 7 months ago by dharani with 1 Comments - View
Bowing to pressure from political parties in the state, the Tamil Nadu government on Thursday announced that the screening of the controversial film 'Dam999' would be banned in the state. The terse two-line official statement merely stated, "The Tamil Nadu government has decided to ban with immediate effect the film Dam999, which is creating fear among the people regarding the Mullaperiyar dam."
Political parties in Tamil Nadu, including the main opposition DMK, have demanded a ban on the film "in the interests of the people" of the state. The English film was scheduled for a worldwide release on November 25.
Jayalalithaa, who was busy the last two days with her appearance in a special court in Bangalore in a corruption case, broke her silence on Thursday and made clear her government's stand on the film, based on a real life incident of a 1975 dam disaster in China that reportedly killed more than 2 lakh people.
The issue took centre-stage on Tuesday with protestors vandalising a preview theatre in Chennai which was all set to screen the film. The film's director Sohan Roy, who hails from Kerala and who was to address the media the same day, hurriedly cancelled the interaction. As protests appeared to intensify, theatre owners in the state announced on Wednesday their decision not to screen the film "respecting people's sentiments".
With Kerala raking up the Mullaperiyar issue in the wake of TN's protests against the film, chief minister J Jayalalithaa wrote a stinging letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh late Wednesday urging him to advise Kerala not to venture into any plans to construct a new dam in the place of the 116-year-old structure that has been a bone of contention between the two states for several years.
While the dam is located in Idukki district in Kerala, it is managed by Tamil Nadu as the water from the Periyar River is used for agriculture purposes for several southern districts here. While Kerala has been demanding that a new dam be constructed to replace the existing one, claiming that the structure has weakened due to the frequent tremors in the region, Tamil Nadu, citing various expert views, has stood its ground that there is no need for a new dam.

Stagnant water poses big hazard
Posted on 6 months ago by dharani with 0 Comments In: Government, Administration & Politics
The latest problems faced by motorists and pedestrians are short circuits in underground electric cables due to stagnant water on the roads. On Monday, locals at Choolai alerted the electricity department after noticing smoke emanating from stagnant water.
A TNEB official attached to area 3 said the short circuits were occurring due to prolonged stagnation of sewer and storm water.
Several electric cables are old and worn out and need to be replaced as these are prone to shorting when water seeps underground, they said.
“Water logging has always been a perennial problem in our ward (division 58) and now the latest headache is short circuits in underground electric cables due to water stagnation. Despite several complaints the Chennai Metro Water Board authorities have taken no action,” said local resident and civic activist Mr Arani Sreenivasan.
“Whenever the issue is put before the local Metro Water officials, they only do temporary repairs on the drains and the situation worsens the next time it rains. The division, despite being located close to the city Corporation and Metro Water headquarters, suffer step motherly treatment,” he added.
“Hundreds of school children are forced to wade through stagnant sewer waste and the mosquito menace has increased due frequent water logging,” said Mr J. Dominic, a software professional and resident of Vepery. “Several residents who used to take their children out for evening walks are now avoiding it as the roads are slippery and murky,” he said.
When contacted, Metro Water official said that water logging had taken place in a few pockets of Choolai and had been cleared using motor-fitted lorries.
“The field staff are attending to the problems regularly and the situation will improve after the monsoon,” the official said.Add Your Comment

FB thief nabbed in Vellore
Posted on 6 months ago by dharani with 0 Comments In: Government, Administration & Politics
The infamous ‘Facebook’ thief is finally in the police net.
The police arrested Mohamed Faizal Sidique, 23, on Monday night in Vellore for allegedly stealing from the house of one of his Facebook friends.
Investigations revealed that Sidique had cheated many people in the name of friendship and black magic.
“We were tailing him on the basis of a complaint lodged by one Tirupathi of Alandur who became friends with Sidique through the social networking site Facebook,” said police officials.
“Tirupathi had invited the accused to his house last week. Sidique had stolen three sovereigns of gold, a cellphone and home theatre system from Tirupathi’s house. We located him in Vellore,” police sources said.
The sleuths recovered 60 sovereigns of gold that Sidique had pledged with a pawnbroker in Vellore.
Police again questioned Sidique, who then confessed to having duped a businessman from Pallavaram who had come in contact with him over the Internet.
“He was suffering losses in his business and wanted Sidique to use sorcery to help him to run the business profitably. During his stay at the businessman’s house, Sidiquue stole 35 sovereigns of gold and told the businessman that the gold was ‘taken’ by Satan,” police said.
“Sidique told the businessman that Satan had wanted to take the life of the latter’s son but claimed that he had ‘negotiated’ with Satan who later agreed to take the gold. The businessman believed it and did not lodge a compliant. He disclosed this only when we asked about it,” police sources said.
The police believe that Sidique, who was a diploma holder and good with computers, could have cheated many others in similar manner.Add Your Comment
