Two injured as MK's security van overturns

Two policemen were injured when a security van escorting Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi overturned on the Yeshwanthpur flyover on Sunday morning.

Karunanidhi was heading towards the Bengaluru International Airport to catch a 10.20 am flight to Chennai when the driver of the vehicle at the tail end of the convoy lost control, leading to the mishap around 9am. The rest of the motorcade went ahead, oblivious of the missing security van.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam patriarch was returning home after visiting his daughter Selvi, a resident of JP Nagar. The accident did not affect Karunanidhi's schedule.

The injured policemen, assistant sub-inspector Channe Gowda and constable Badrinath, have been kept under observation at MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital. The doctors treating them said their injuries were not life-threatening.

Ten City Armed Reserve policemen - the strike force - were in the van that had overturned. The accident held up traffic on the flyover. However, police soon pressed a crane into service and removed the vehicle.

Deputy commissioner of police (Traffic West) PH Rane, who was travelling just behind Karunanidhi'scar, said that the convoy was informed of the accident 15 minutes later, when they had reached Mekhri Circle. "We deploy the strike force to intervene in case of emergency. The driver of the van tried to negotiate a right turn, but lost control over the vehicle. Even though he applied brakes, the vehicletoppled," he said.

When Karunanidhi was proceeding towards Selvi's house on December 24, the jammer in his motorcade had caught fire near Hebbal flyover.The security personnel extinguished the fire.

The most awaited Tamil film this Christmas

One of the most eagerly awaited Tamil films this Christmas is Nanayam, an action thriller produced by S P B Charan and starring Prasanna, Sibi Raj and S P Balasubramaniam.

Prasanna, an engineer-turned-actor, was last seen and much appreciated as a software professional based in the US in Arun Vaidyanathan’s Achamundu Achamundu.

In this interview, Prasanna talks to Shobha Warrier about Nanayam.

How different is Nanayam going to be from Achamundu Achamundu?

Achamundu followed a different style of filmmaking, which was not seen in Tamil before. Nanayam is different but it has its own commercial elements like songs and fights. There is no comedy track but the dialogues will make the audience laugh.

Lakhs of Tamils may not vote in Lanka poll

Lakhs of Tamils of North Sri Lanka may not vote in the January 26 Presidential election partly on account of the lack of the appropriate identity card or partly on account of a lack of interest in the election, given the trauma they had gone through during the war, and as refugees in camps ringed by barbed wire.Official estimates of the number of Tamil refugees who had registered to vote by filling the appropriate form, vary between 5,000 and 10,000. This is a minuscule part of the total refugee voting population of 200,000.“We have distributed application forms to the refugees in the camps and have instructed the local authorities to distribute them among the refugees not resident in the camps. But so far, only about 10,000 have filled in the form,” said Mrs.P.S.M.Charles ,Government Agent of Vavuniya district, which has the largest number of camp refugees.“

All we can do is to distribute the forms.We cannot force them to fill them in,” she told Express on Sunday.The Sunday Times reported that local officials in the North were moving in the matter slowly, though the Commissioner of Elections had said that temporary ID cards must be issued by December 24.The work in Sinhalese-dominated south Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has been going on at a very fast pace. In order to speed up the process, the government had ordered the Agriculture Deparment officials to issue 1.5 million temporary cards, though as per law only the Grama Niladharis could do it. The new proceedure has been objected to by the opposition camp led by Gen.Sarath Fonseka.The reason behind the slow pace in the Tamil-speaking North and the fast pace in the Sinhalese-speaking south seems to be that the government is not sure of getting the votes of the Northern Tamils and the war refugees,

while it has a sporting chance in the Sinhalese south.Reports from the North say that the Tamils there are not interested in the elections, since both Mahinda Rajapaksa and Gen.Sarath Fonseka are identified as hard core Sinhalese nationalists. However, of the two, Fonseka is seen in a slightly more favourable light because he is backed by the peacenik United National Party leader, Ranil Wickremesinghe.“The voting percentage in Jaffna district may not exceed 13 per cent this time,” said a Jaffna-based scribe.In the last election in November 2005, it was 1.2 percent because the LTTE had urged a boycott.However, the Rajapaksa and the Fonseka camps are making efforts to woo the Tamils. While Fonseka says that he will devolve power beyond what is contained in the 13 th.amendment, and has said that the Rajapaksa government had ordered the killing three top LTTE leaders who were going to surrender, the Rajapaksa government has said that all restrictions on the movement between the Tamil north and the Sinhalese south will be lifted forthwith.

2010, with just 1.18 lakh families remaining to be covered of a total of 5.24 lakh, according to a top state electricity board official.

"We set ourselves a target of providing electricity to all BPL families by December 2009.But it got delayed and we intend to achieve the target by January 2010", Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Chairman C P Singh said at a function here last night.

He said 4.06 lakh families of 5.24 lakh in BPL category had been covered and the others would be covered by next month. "With this,Tamil Nadu will be the first to provide electricity to all BPL families", he said at an interactive meet with Tamil Nadu Electricity Consumers Association last night.

Claiming that Tamil Nadu has the lowest power tariff, he said load shedding in the state was expected to remain till the last quarter of 2010.

"By that time, TNEB will be able to withdraw power cuts as most powerplants are expected to be operational. If that happens, there will be an additional 1000 MW. There is also a possibility of Kudankulam Power plant being operational."

Singh said the power situation in Tamil Nadu was better than other states. "While the demand-supply gap is 25-30 per cent in other states, it is 15-20 per cent in Tamil Nadu."

He said the government's roll out of "Open Access" system has not received the expected response."If you are willing to use the system,we may relax power cut in industrial units", he told Association members.

‘Tamil girls in camps abused by troops’

According to 25-year-old Vany Kumar, who was locked up in a refugee camp for four months, along with many who escaped the horrors of the civil war, not only military guards traded sex for food with Tamil women but prisoners were also being made to kneel for hours in the sun, the Observer reported.

“It was a concentration camp, where people were not even allowed to talk... Girls came to wait for their relatives and military officers would come and touch them, and that’s something I saw. The girls usually didn’t talk back to them, as they knew that in the camp if they talked anything could happen to them... It was quite open, everyone could see the military officers touching the girls”, she said.

Kumar, from Essex, was released from internment in September, but she has waited until now to reveal the full scale of her ordeal in the hope of avoiding reprisals against friends and family held with her.
