The @IndianExpress has reproduced and reworked substantial portions of an exclusive interview with actor Rishikanth, conducted by The Hindu's @srinivasjam at our Chennai office. It has also used a photograph from the accompanying photoshoot by our photographer, @thamodharran, without permission or credit.
Quoting an exclusive interview is standard journalistic practice. Reproducing virtually an entire story, even with portions reworded, is not.
We find this disregard for original reporting and photography deeply disappointing. Credit where it is due is a basic tenet of journalism.

THREE MORNING #TRAINS, ONE #CHENNAI–#MADURAI RACE: YOUR TIME VS MONEY
The viral claim that #VaigaiExpress matched #VandeBharat's speed tells only half the story.
Analysis of travel times this year shows #Vaigai arrived an average of 8 min late, #VandeBharat 17 min late, while #Tejas arrived 12 min early.
For commuters, paying ₹305 extra for #VandeBharat over #Tejas saves just 8 minutes. That's ₹38 per minute saved!

A circular was issued on 6.10.26 based on @Arappor’s representation regarding roads. Last night this is the situation of the 2nd main road, Annanagar being relaid after SWD work completed four months back. Even normal milling or cleaning was not done. Is this what people pay for??@omjasvinMD @AishRavi64 @chennaicorp seems like I was always right. Contractors are the kings. @CMOTamilnadu

In Sivakasi, the fireworks manufacturing hub of India in southern Tamil Nadu, Deepavali is the busiest season of the year. As cracker sales pick up slowly, we travel to the dusty town to see how it has benefited from the industry that has sustained it and allowed it to grow.

Can Chennai build taller and unlock greater value from its urban land? A proposal to raise the cap on premium Floor Space Index (FSI) to 5 or higher is still under consideration, with the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) calling for wider consultations before taking a decision.
