Residents of Perambur in North Chennai say the constituency has seen some progress ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election 2026, even as key issues remain. While waste management, flooding, and access to basic amenities continue to be long-standing concerns, initiatives like the biomining and remediation of the Kodungaiyur dump yard and the upcoming Ganesapuram flyover are being seen as positive steps

Once Chennai’s largest constituency, Villivakkam reflects the city’s evolving urban landscape as it heads into the Assembly elections. The video explores its political history, emerging new players, and residents’ voices on unresolved issues such as public transport disruptions, sanitation, cattle menace, inflation, and incomplete infrastructure projects. Despite recent improvements in flood mitigation and healthcare, voters say everyday challenges continue to shape their electoral choices.

On July 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Gangaikonda Cholapuram in Tamil Nadu’s Ariyalur district. This town, a few kilometres away from the Kollidam River, is steeped in history. A thousand years ago, it was the capital of a global empire— one that sent its navies across the Indian Ocean and built monuments to last the ages.
