The festival also teaches that relationships are strengthened not merely by rights, but by the fulfilment of duties and responsibilities.

However, he said the new airport should be located at a site where agricultural and residential areas would face minimal disruption.”To fulfill the promise I made to the people that day… the steps taken to establish a new airport in Parandur will be abandoned by this government,” Vijay said.The government is now considering alternative locations and plans to conduct technical feasibility studies before finalising a new site.Why Vijay rejected ParandurVijay said he had visited Eganapuram and other villages on January 20, 2025, and heard the grievances of residents protesting against the proposed airport in Parandur and 12 surrounding villages.”I stand firmly with the people protesting against the airport to be established in Chennai’s Parandur and 12 surrounding villages,” he said.The chief minister said farmers were the backbone of the country and backed those protesting to protect their agricultural land.Vijay said he had also opposed the Parandur project at a public meeting in Vikravandi in October 2024, while making clear that he supported industrial development and the role of airports in it.”However, this project should not be located in Parandur. The government must reconsider this project,” he said.He added that an alternative site should be identified where the impact on agricultural land and people’s livelihoods would be minimal.Chennai airport to be expandedWhile dropping Parandur, the government said Chennai’s existing airport would be expanded.Vijay said the Meenambakkam airport, operated by the Airports Authority of India, currently has the capacity to handle around 30 million passengers annually. With the under-construction Terminal 3 becoming operational, capacity is expected to rise to 34 million passengers a year.The government plans to expand the airport on its north-western side by constructing a fifth terminal, which is expected to handle another 20 million passengers annually.The government is also considering alternative sites for a new airport, with technical feasibility studies to be conducted by expert teams.Why Parandur was chosenThe Parandur project had received in-principle approval from the Civil Aviation Ministry in April 2025 for an International Greenfield Airport in Kancheepuram district.The proposed project had faced opposition from residents of villages that were expected to be affected by land acquisition and construction.However, the DMK has criticised the decision to abandon the project, arguing that it could hurt Tamil Nadu’s industrial growth and investment prospects.Former chief minister and DMK president MK Stalin said dropping the project would set the state’s development back by several years.”The announcement made today by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to drop the Parandur International Airport project will set the state’s development back by several years. Tamil Nadu’s interests cannot be mortgaged for petty political considerations,” Stalin said.He also called the decision a setback to employment opportunities for Tamil Nadu’s youth.DMK warns of economic falloutFormer Tamil Nadu minister and DMK MLA Thangam Thennarasu also criticised the decision, saying the Parandur site was selected after studying options for establishing two runways.”Possibilities for setting up two runways were all studied and only then Parandur was selected,” he said.Thennarasu argued that scrapping the project for political reasons could hurt the state’s economy and push industries towards neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.”It would be best to have the airport at Parandur. Dropping the Parandur Airport project for political reasons will cause economic damage,” he said.”Many industries will move towards Andhra Pradesh. We have already lost the Hosur Airport,” he added.Thennarasu also said compensation had already been provided to people whose land was acquired for the project and cited the Land Acquisition Act while arguing that the acquired land should be used for its intended purpose.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesDMK stages assembly walkoutThe announcement triggered an immediate confrontation in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, with DMK MLAs staging a walkout after Speaker JCD Prabhakar denied DMK leader KN Nehru permission to respond to the statement, citing Assembly rules.The opposition accused the government of making a policy U-turn that could affect Tamil Nadu’s industrial momentum and prospects of attracting investment.Vijay, however, maintained that the government supports airport-led industrial development but believes the proposed airport should not come at the cost of agricultural land and people’s livelihoods.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Representative image: ANI NEW DELHI: India’s national security adviser Ajit Doval arrived in Beijing on Monday for a two-day visit. He is set to hold the 25th round of Special Representatives’ Talks on the India-China boundary question with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Tuesday. The visit comes as New Delhi and Beijing seek to build on recent signs of a thaw in ties.The ministry of external affairs (MEA) said Doval arrived in Beijing “at the invitation of Wang Yi”.The talks come amid efforts by the two sides to gradually normalise relations following years of tensions along their disputed Himalayan border.”The NSA will also call on China’s vice president Han Zheng during his visit,” the MEA said.Boundary question and border stability on the agendaThe central focus of the talks will be the unresolved India-China boundary issues, with both sides expected to discuss the management of differences and the preservation of peace and tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control.Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said the two sides would continue discussions in accordance with agreements reached by their leaders.India and China share a roughly 3,500-kilometre disputed border.Relations came under severe strain after the deadly military clash in eastern Ladakh in 2020, following which the two sides held repeated military and diplomatic talks to address the situation.The latest Special Representatives’ meeting comes against the backdrop of a broader effort to stabilise the relationship.Recent thaw in tiesDoval’s Beijing visit follows his meeting with Wang in New Delhi in June on the sidelines of the BRICS National Security Advisers’ meeting.The MEA described those discussions as part of the process of rebuilding bilateral ties.According to MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, the two sides “reviewed recent developments in bilateral relations and noted progress towards gradual normalisation”.Jaiswal said Doval had stressed the importance of maintaining a stable relationship.”NSA underlined that stable, predictable and constructive bilateral relations contribute to building trust and better understanding between the two sides,” he said, adding: “The discussions were constructive and forward-looking.”The latest visit also comes after subsequent meetings between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese president Xi Jinping on the sidelines of major international summits.At the SCO Summit in Tianjin last year, PM Modi and Xi welcomed what the two sides described as positive momentum and steady progress in bilateral relations following their previous meeting in Kazan in October 2024.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe two leaders had also reaffirmed that India and China were development partners rather than rivals, and that differences between them should not be allowed to become disputes.”A stable relationship and cooperation between India and China and their 2.8 billion peoples on the basis of mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity are necessary for the growth and development of the two countries, as well as for a multipolar world and a multi-polar Asia befitting the trends of the 21st century,” the MEA had said in a statement after the leaders’ meeting.The Special Representatives’ mechanism has been one of the key diplomatic channels for addressing the boundary dispute between India and China. The 25th round comes at a time when both governments are seeking to consolidate the recent improvement in relations without setting aside their differences over the border.For New Delhi, maintaining a stable and predictable relationship with Beijing is also significant as India prepares for the BRICS summit next month, where it hopes Xi will attend.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday issued summons to commentator Abhijit Iyer-Mitra and several media platforms in a suit filed by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Saurav Das, who has alleged that his residential address and other personal details were published on social media without his consent.The development came during the hearing of Das’s plea seeking interim protection against the alleged disclosure of his personal information. The court was informed that X, formerly known as Twitter, had removed the posts allegedly carrying Das’s residential address.Justice Sachin Datta issued notice on Das’s application seeking interim relief and directed the defendants to file their replies. The matter will next be heard on September 14.Senior Advocate Akhil Sibal, appearing for Das, submitted that personnel of The Pamphlet had entered his client’s residential property without permission and recorded a video.Sibal alleged that Iyer-Mitra subsequently added to the video and shared it on social media. He further submitted that some posts on X specifically mentioned Das’s residential address.Seeking protection for his client, Sibal urged the court to ensure that the posts, which had already been removed by X under its policy, were not restored.Appearing for X, counsel told the court that the concerned links were “no longer accessible.” The submission was recorded by the court.Counsel for The Pamphlet also submitted that the posts were no longer available on X and sought time to respond to the allegations on merits.The court further allowed Das to correct the name of The Sunday Guardian in the proceedings and permitted him to amend the memo of parties and plaint within three days.Apart from Iyer-Mitra and The Pamphlet, the suit names LawBeat, The Jaipur Dialogues, The Sunday Guardian, Google LLC and X Corp as defendants.Das has sought permanent and mandatory injunctions against the defendants, besides damages, alleging violation of his privacy, dignity and security.In his plea, Das alleged that his residential address and other personal details were recorded and circulated without his consent. He claimed that the disclosure of his exact address could expose him and other occupants of his residence to security risks.Das further alleged that representatives of The Pamphlet entered the residential premises where he lives and recorded videos of the property, including its interiors, which were later posted on X.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesHis plea also claimed that he had faced threats and targeted hostility in the past because of his journalistic work, public-interest disclosures and political activities.During the hearing, Das’s counsel emphasised the potential security implications of making a person’s residential details publicly available and sought continued protection against any restoration or further circulation of the allegedly offending posts.The court, however, has not yet adjudicated the allegations on the merits.
