Today, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru @TVKVijayHQ announced in the assembly that the TN Government has decided to cancel the Parandur Airport Project. TN CM mentioned that certain sites are under consideration, but it would have been helpful if he had also proposed a new site for the second airport near Chennai, as the delay in identifying its location has set the state's development back by at least 10 years.

This announcement of the cancellation of the new airport project carries an opportunity cost that the State Government needs to consider carefully. Even if the TN Government chooses to move forward with a second airport instead of Parandur through an administrative decision soon, finding a site, taking approval from the Central Government and statutory bodies, issuing tenders, acquiring land, and securing licenses could take at least ten years before the airport becomes operational. Meanwhile, other States would be advancing, leaving us behind.

We should first accept that the current airport in Chennai is insufficient even by today's standards. Chennai’s airport spans a 1300-acre land parcel; Hyderabad's airport spans approximately 5,500 acres; Bengaluru's spans 4000 acres; Navi Mumbai's is built on 2866 acres; and Delhi airport spans 5100 acres. With such a small space, the current airport in Chennai should ideally offer a better customer experience, but taking local transport from the arrivals area is a nightmare today.

Chennai was once the gateway of South India. Today, Chennai airport ranks 5th in total passenger-handling capacity, with a capacity of 30 million passengers per year. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are above Chennai on this table. The present Chennai airport is not classified as a Code F airport due to inadequate taxiways and aerobridges, which make landing large aircraft such as the A380 unsuitable at Chennai. In the South, the Bengaluru and Hyderabad airports can handle large aircraft.

Considering the above, I request the TN Govt to accelerate the process of identifying a suitable location for the 2nd airport in Chennai at the earliest, as delays in site identification could push us well beyond 10 years. Parties may come and go. Governments will change. But 20 years later, when the people of Tamil Nadu look back, they should not feel suffocated by a sick building that we would still call an airport, because the administrators of the day lacked the ability to forecast.

Also, in March this year, news reports stated that the TN Govt had acquired 1,700 acres for the Parandur airport project, out of the 5,746 acres needed. What does the State govt now intend to do with this acquired land?

Shocking details revealed regarding Srirangam temple land!
For 50 years, the TN Govt hospital has occupied temple land without paying any rent at all leading to a loss of not less that ₹12 CRORE.

Complete collusion and failure by @tnhrcedept and the TN Govt to protect temple assets. Temple property must be recovered from TN Government and arrears of rent recovered with interest!
Thank you @dinamalarweb for bringing this out.

திருவரங்கம் கோயிலில் சட்ட மோசடியாக வெட்கம் இல்லாமல் @tnhrcedept இருப்பதால் தான் இப்படிப்பட்ட அவலங்கள் !

This single video has stripped away the carefully cultivated veneer of congeniality and exposed something far more troubling.

The impulse to disrupt or diminish Vande Mataram, a song that stirred generations of freedom fighters and became one of the most powerful expressions of India’s national awakening, will not sit well with Indians.

Vande Mataram is an emotion. It is the sound of a civilisation awakening to its own strength. It stirred the hearts of revolutionaries, gave courage to those who stood up to colonial rule, and became inseparably woven into India’s freedom struggle.

When its words are sung, they evoke not just the land, but the rivers, fields, soil and spirit of Bharat. It carries the memory of sacrifice and the unmistakable yearning for freedom. Few songs possess the power to turn patriotism from an idea into an emotion felt deep within the soul.

Perhaps Sonia Gandhi will never fully understand the profound Indianness of Vande Mataram. But she must understand why India has embraced it: because it reflects our civilisational ethos, our history, our collective memory and, ultimately, who we are.

You can debate politics. You can disagree on ideology. But treating a song that has stirred the patriotic imagination of generations with anything less than reverence is a different matter altogether.

Vande Mataram. 🇮🇳

[Rahul Shivshankar @RShivshankar]

CONG EXPOSED.
Here's the unfiltered audio. Does the Congress has a problem with Bharat's national song?
The audio picks up this line:
"OUR VERSION OF VANDE MATARAM"

How bizarre. Vande Mataram is the song of We The People, A full throated ode to our one and only motherland.

HOW CAN ANYONE CLAIM EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP OVER VANDE MATARAM?

DOES THE CONGRESS WORSHIP SOME OTHER MOTHER INDIA?

[Major Madhan Kumar (Retd)🇮🇳 @major_madhan]

The British cannot wash their hands of the blood, torture, and plunder inflicted on Bharat.

As someone who has served my nation, I fully support the 3 key demands raised by @RaoKavitha:

A public apology from @RoyalFamily and @10DowningStreet

Rewriting history books with an honest admission of guilt
Complete return of Bharat’s stolen artifacts, including the Koh-i-Noor

To those claiming the present generation isn't responsible: if your conscience is too fragile to accept historical guilt, you shouldn't be enjoying the riches built on the wealth looted from our nation.

We will not let this debate die down until justice is served and history is owned up to. Beyond ideological differences, every Indian must stand united for this cause. 🇮🇳

Happy 80th Independence Day!
