Tension in Karur shrine as board allowing entry of all communities removed
KARUR: Tension prevailed in Chinnatharapuram on Thursday after a section of caste Hindu people removed a notice board, installed by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department, in front of a Mariyamman temple in the village. The notice board, which was placed as per a court order, states that people from all communities, regardless of caste, are permitted to worship and participate in temple rituals. It also warned that criminal action would be taken against anyone who attempts to prevent devotees from offering prayers at the temple. According to police, the temple is under the HR&CE department since 1973. Members of both SC and MBC communities have been participating in pujas and temple rituals. However, due to a dispute over some issues in 2018, both groups approached the court. The matter is pending. During a hearing on July 15, the court instructed HR&CE officials to take steps to resume worship at the temple and to display a notice board announcing that all communities are allowed to offer prayers. As per the direction, officials placed the notice board in front of the temple. Upon knowing this, a group of people from MBC community assembled in front of the temple on Thursday. Aravakurichi Tahsildar Mahendran, additional superintendent of police Prabakaran, Aravakurichi DSP Abdul Kapoor and local police personnel rushed to the spot and tried to pacify the crowd. Despite their efforts, the crowd removed the notice board. Subsequently, a complaint was lodged with Chinnatharapuram police and they registered a case.

Meet actor who did over a hundred films as a child artist, now all set to share screen space with Rajinikanth in Coolie, he is...
In an industry where stardom takes years or a miracle, Master Mahendran was a household name before he could spell it. A true child prodigy, he began acting at the age of 3, and by the time most actors land their first break, he had already worked in 100+ films across six Indian languages. That's not just impressive—it's a national record that still stands. What was his breakout role? Among his many childhood performances, Mahendran's portrayal of 'Master Babu' in the 2001 Telugu film Simharasi remains one of his most celebrated. Despite the film starring big names like Dr. Rajasekhar and Sakshi Shivanand, it was Mahendran's emotional flashback scenes that truly left an impact. How did the transition to lead roles happen? After collecting accolades as a child actor, including two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, Mahendran reintroduced himself in 2013 as a lead actor in Vizha, opposite Malavika Menon. From child charm to adult command, his growth as a performer has been gradual, grounded, and quietly consistent. Mahendran all set for Coolie Fresh off his powerful appearance as young Vijay Sethupathi in the Tamil hit Master, Mahendran is now gearing up to share screen space with none other than Rajinikanth in the much-awaited film Coolie. While his role remains under wraps, sources suggest it's a significant character arc in the storyline. Alongside Coolie, he's also part of other upcoming films like Musashi and Pulse, marking a busy and exciting phase in his career. From a scene-stealer at age three to a rising force in Tamil cinema again, Mahendran's journey feels less like a comeback and more like a continuation of a legacy he quietly built, one frame at a time.

From Tamil Nadu to global healthcare: Mahendran Chinnaiah's quiet tech revolution
In the fast-changing world of healthcare technology, Mahendran Chinnaiah's journey stands out for its simplicity, strength, and global impact. From a small village near Nilakottai in Tamil Nadu to leading digital innovation in hospitals across the world, his story is one of quiet determination and deep purpose. At age 12, Mahendran made the bold move to leave his village in search of better schooling. That early decision shaped a life of self-reliance and relentless learning. After graduating in Electronics and Communication from Anna University in 2007, he began his career at a modest start-up during a tough job market. His early work in programming and software development opened the door to larger roles, including stints at a bank and a tech company. His talent soon took him abroad. From Abu Dhabi to Texas, he continued to apply his skills to improve digital systems, especially in the healthcare space. His work at Mediclinic in Abu Dhabi earned him the Excellency Award from the hospital's Chief Information Officer—a rare honour that speaks to his impact. Now a Healthcare Architect in the United States, he has led automation projects that saved over $1 million and improved healthcare software quality. His efforts reflect a strong belief in making healthcare smarter, faster, and more human. His expertise is widely recognised. He holds certifications from top tech companies, and was recently awarded the Royal Fellow Membership Award by the International Organisation for Academic and Scientific Development. He's also a Senior Member of IEEE, marking him among the top technologists in his field. Beyond his professional achievements, Mahendran is a strong supporter of youth and innovation. He has judged science and engineering fairs across U.S. universities and reviewed applications for global leadership programmes like YLAI. He regularly contributes to technical publishers, and serves as a peer reviewer for research journals and conferences. In the area of AI in healthcare, his ongoing research explores new ways to monitor health remotely, detect fraud, and improve hospital systems. His recent paper on digital transformation in healthcare sheds light on how technology is reshaping patient care across the globe. From his early days in Tamil Nadu to influencing healthcare systems worldwide, Mahendran Chinnaiah's journey reflects the best of what Indian talent and global thinking can achieve.

Chennai Auto Driver Injured After Being Bitten By Rottweilers, Owner Arrested
Chennai: An auto-rickshaw driver was bitten by two Rottweilers in Chennai while waiting near the Washermanpet area. The dogs, reportedly being walked by a minor boy, suddenly charged at the unsuspecting man, causing serious injuries. According to senior police officials, the owner of the dogs, identified as Mahendran, has been arrested and will be remanded. "We are investigating the circumstances under which the attack took place," a senior police officer told NDTV. Preliminary investigations revealed that although the dogs were vaccinated, they were not registered with the Chennai Corporation as required. Authorities confirmed that the Rottweilers have been taken to the city pound pending further examination. The injured auto driver is currently undergoing treatment at a government hospital. His wife has filed a formal complaint with the local police. The use of a minor to control the dogs has raised further legal and ethical questions. This incident comes nearly a year after a similar attack in which a young girl was mauled by two Rottweilers at a public park in the city. In response to the recurring threat, the Chennai Corporation had announced plans to enforce stricter regulations, including mandatory muzzling of ferocious breeds like Rottweilers in public areas. But this has not been adopted yet.
