Tambaram Corporation launches app for people to send in complaints, feedback
After the establishment of the 24/7 Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), the Tambaram Corporation has launched an application called 'Voice of Tambaram' (VoT).
A senior civic official said the ICCC, modelled on the command centre of the Greater Chennai Corporation, would automate and link the attendance system of conservancy workers, track the removal of garbage through trucks with GPS, and monitor the 32 flood-prone areas via closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras during the monsoon. As part of upgrading the ICCC, VoT was launched for residents to send in their complaints and feedback, he added.
The official said the civic body had received 13,869 complaints since the launch of the VoT app. Of these, 12,889 had been resolved. The engineering department received the highest number of complaints at 8,993, followed by the public health department with 3,767.
P. Prathap, office-bearer of the Chitlapakkam Town Welfare Association, said the complaints made with VoT app, particularly regarding garbage removal and vector control measures, had been addressed, but steps were not being taken regarding macro civic issues such as restoration of damaged roads and cleaning waterbodies.

Amid flights facing rising instances of GPS interference and spoofing, global airlines' grouping IATA on Tuesday said aircraft makers need to come out with guidance and standard operating procedures for airlines to tackle such have been reporting GPS interference with their flights in different parts of the world, especially while flying near or over conflict Careens, Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security at IATA, said better communication, better coordination with civil and military stakeholders can help improve the efforts in tackling such should be standardised procedures across the globe and those need to come from the aircraft makers such as standard operating procedures in terms of dealing with the situation when it takes place. "We are pushing but it ultimately has to come from the aircraft makers in terms of guidance and operating the aircraft," he said at a briefing in the national the sidelines of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), he also said the group is working with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to deal with the GPS spoofing to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), aircraft manufactures must continue to support aircraft operators by providing appropriate guidance and there must also be global coordination through ICAO on advancing future-proof navigation technologies to resist interference as well as develop standardised protocols for states to notify flight crews of interference refers to the International Civil Aviation in India, as many as 465 GPS interference and spoofing incidents were reported in the border region, mostly in the Amritsar and Jammu areas, between November 2023 and February 2025. Several airlines had reported that aircraft operating in and around Amritsar have experienced GPS/GNSS GPS (Global Positioning System)/ GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) spoofing and jamming refers to attempts to manipulate a user's navigation system by giving false a circular issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in 2023, GPS interference/spoofing incidents have been reported since November to a query, Careens said the reporting of incidents of turbulence faced by flights has increased. On whether the rising incidents of turbulence can be due to climate change, he said "it was way too early" to conclude like that. IATA represents over 350 airlines globally.

Nemilichery lake once revived by residents, struggles to stay afloat
Nemilichery lake, lying at the far end of Chromepet, was once the focus of a community-led revival. Around 200 determined residents poured in funds from their own pocket to bring the dying lake back to life. Between 2018 and 2021, the lake did indeed brim with rainwater. However, since then, it has slowly slipped into neglect, once again, turning into a sewage pool overrun by a choked mat of water hyacinth. During a recent visit, only a small silver of water shimmered under the noon sun, with boundaries of the lake littered with plastic bags, empty water bottles, food waste, and clothes strewn around. S.M. Govindarajan, president of United Federation of Residents' Welfare Association, who contributed Rs. 1 lakh from his own savings to the pre-pandemic lake rejuvenation effort, says it is high time the 4D model- deflect, drain, desilt and deepen is adopted, similar to the restoration of Chitlapakkam lake. 'We need to first prevent sewage from entering the lake before we think about beautification projects, which is why building a deflector should be the first step,' he said. What is back in question now is the lake's critical role in groundwater recharge. Back when residents of Chromepet and neighbouring localities received water supply only once in five days, the residents of the area took matters into their own hands and started the rejuvenation of Nemilichery lake pre-pandemic, where in 2018, excavator machines were brought in to scoop out years of plastic build-up in the lake. This lake rejuvenation committee members also raised about 25 lakhs for the same at the time. 'Several lakes including Nemilichery and many others across Tambaram and Pallavaram are encroached upon, polluted, and poorly maintained,' says senior activist 'We fail to realise that the absence of basic infrastructure such as name boards, information boards at the lakes, and fixed boundaries has opened the door for unchecked encroachments,' he said, adding the collective efforts now feel like water down the drain. When contacted, Tambaram Corporation commissioner, S. Balachander said: 'Regarding the Nemilichery lake, we have prepared a detailed project report and it is in a final shape. We are about to send it to the government for further fund sanctions, after which the work will begin soon,' he said, also adding details about the 750 crore underground drainage project covering Madambakkam, Sembakkam, and Chitlapakkam. 'Once that project is also completed, Nemilichery lake will not receive sewage water from adjacent areas. The lake will be completely revamped and redeveloped, and put into use for common public,' he added.

The maths of how India's coastline lengthened without gaining new land
In December 2024, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs made an important announcement as part of its 2023-2024 annual report. It said the length of India's coastline had increased from 7,516.6 km to 11,098.8 km, and that the length is also currently under review. The 7,516.6 km figure was first recorded in the 1970s based on measurement techniques available at the time. The new revised figure wasn't prompted by any territorial expansion through new land/island annexation or geological upheaval, like tectonic activity stretching the shores. The last coastal State to join the Union of India was Goa in 1961 and the only other State that joined after — Sikkim in 1975 — is landlocked. The enclaves India exchanged with Bangladesh in 2015 also lie deep inland. So what changed? The root of the discrepancy lies in geometry, in a problem called the coastline paradox. The previous estimate from the 1970s banked on maps that displayed India's coastline at a 1:4,500,000 resolution, which is too coarse to capture intricate features like estuaries, tidal creeks, sandbars, and coastal ridges. Many island groups, particularly the Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep, also hadn't been comprehensively mapped or included. The more recent updated measurement — performed by the National Hydrographic Office (NHO) and the Survey of India — used electronic navigation charts at a much finer scale of 1:250,000. Preparing these charts requires the use of technologies like geographic information systems, satellite altimetry, LIDAR-GPS, and drone-based imaging. The government has also said the coastline length will be revised every 10 years from 2024-2025, as per the report. The Survey of India used highwater lines prepared by the NHO based on 2011 data on electronic navigation charts to measure the coastline. The highwater line was used as the base reference and river mouths and creeks were closed off at a fixed threshold inland. The review also included islands exposed to low tide. But for all these advances, there is a limitation — and that comes from geometry. The coastline as puzzle What's the difference between straight lines and ragged curves? In Euclidean geometry, the length of a straight line is the shortest distance between two points at the ends of the line. Curves on the other hand are measured by their geodesic length: i.e. the length along the surface of the curve. But what happens when the curve itself is irregular, jagged, and ever-changing the way a coastline is when it's shaped by river mouths, creeks, delta formations, etc.? The problem becomes harder when one attempts to draw a boundary at a river mouth: should it be marked at the ocean opening or traced further inland? Such ambiguities add to the complexity together with constant tidal fluctuations and shifting sedimentation. This is where traditional measurement concepts break down and the choice of scale becomes decisive. The coastline paradox The British mathematician and physicist Lewis Fry Richardson first identified the coastline paradox in the early 1950s. His Polish-French peer Benoît Mandelbrot examined the problem mathematically in 1967 and also popularised it. Mandelbrot found that coastlines exhibit properties similar to fractals. In a landmark paper entitled 'How Long is the Coast of Britain?', Mandelbrot explored why the length of Britain's coast varied dramatically depending on the length of the measuring stick. Using different ruler sizes on a map, he found that Britain's coast could vary from around 2,400 km to more than 3,400 km — a striking range for a fixed landmass. Note that coastlines are not true fractals in the pure mathematical sense but display fractal-like properties. To describe fractals, scientists use the concept of fractal dimension, a number that denotes the degree of complexity a shape exhibits as one zooms into it. For example, measuring a coastline with a 200-km-long ruler would smooth over most inlets and bends — but a 50-km ruler would detect them. At 1 km, the measurement will capture every estuary, tidal flat, and creek. So the more one refines the scale of the ruler, the longer the total coast becomes. Hypothetically, using a measurement unit the size of a water molecule would result in a coastline length approaching infinity. This dependence on scale underscores the inherent paradox: a finite piece of geography yielding a seemingly infinite measurement in cartography. Implications for security, fishing The change in length is not just a mathematical curiosity or an academic pursuit. The length of India's coastline influences maritime security plans, disaster preparedness (especially for cyclones and tsunamis), and fishing rights. A longer coastline obviously means a longer length to protect but it also means a longer economic zone. India has 11 coastal States and two large island groups, faces regular cyclones, and is especially vulnerable to sea-level rise. Understanding the true extent of the national coast can thus help refine climate models, coastal zoning regulations, and disaster response strategies. In the same vein, high-school geography textbooks may need to be revised as well. The coastline paradox also reveals more than a peculiar measurement challenge: it underscores how science evolves with better tools. What once appeared to be a fixed value turns fluid when examined more closely — not because the coast moved but because our eyes sharpened. India's redefined 11,099-km coastline is a testament to this progress. C. Aravinda is an academic and public health physician. The views expressed are personal.
