Restore Tambaram-Coimbatore Special Express, Thanjavur association urges railways
The Thanjavur District Railway Users' Association has exhorted the Southern Railway to revive the Tambaram-Podanur / Coimbatore-Tambaram Weekly Special Express train (06184/06185) to connect Delta districts with Palani, Pollachi, and Kinathukadavu region.
In a letter to Southern Railway General Manger, association secretary A. Giri said this train had evoked good response from passengers with a high level of occupancy benefitting passengers of all intermediate stations. But non-extension of its service beyond June 8 has caused much disappointment to the passengers.
In case the railways faced any constraints in operating the train from Tambaram because of ongoing work at Chennai Egmore, it may be either operated with rake maintenance in Coimbatore or between Chengalpattu and Podanur Junction / Coimbatore, Mr. Giri added.

Himachal wedding between two brothers and a woman challenges ideals about marriage, love and consent
In July, the Trans-Giri region of Sirmaur in Himachal Pradesh hit the headlines when two brothers married a single woman in a traditional wedding ceremony attended by hundreds of guests. The marriage sparked a debate in India. The brothers, who belong to the Hatti tribal community, had participated in 'jodidara' – a local custom of fraternal polyandry that allows brothers to marry and live with one woman. While polyandry is not new to the region, the attention it received – and the circulation of videos and images of the event on social media – raised a larger question about the role of tradition in modern times, especially when it involves marriage, gender and transgresses legal norms. Polyandry has been a part of India's cultural history for centuries. In India's Himalayan regions – the focus of my PhD research on gender, marriage and sexuality – fraternal polyandry was primarily undertaken to prevent the subdivision of scarce land among male siblings and to ensure that family labour was pooled. But polyandry is not limited to the Himalayan region. Anthropologist Paul Hershman, in his ethnography of rural Punjab, documents a version of polyandry among Jat Sikh families in which a woman is married to several brothers, for similar material economic ends. In such communities, polyandry was a survival strategy in a challenging environment tied directly to landholding practices and kinship values. The lower sex ratio of women was also a reason for this kind of marriage. The oldest brother would be defined in a legal sense as the husband, but all brothers would share in the economic, sexual and parental roles played by the wife. In time, a clutch of socio-legal and demographic shifts have contributed to the decline of polyandry in these regions. The introduction of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, banning the practice, was among the most pertinent. Moreover, changes in inheritance laws requiring that property be divided equally among male siblings made it no longer economically necessary to have a relationship with several brothers. Though polyandry is not recognised under the formal Hindu Marriage Act, tribal communities such as the Hattis have continued with their own set of customs and traditions relating to marriage and inheritance. The government has extended protection to these customs by permitting such traditions to continue in tribal areas. In areas such as Sirmaur, polyandrous unions, though not formally registered, are socially accepted and have been given informal legitimacy when it comes to family rights and property matters. What is particularly interesting about last month's marriage in Sirmaur is its visibility and the language of consent, along with a modern vocabulary of emotional understanding, equality and consent. When interviewed by local and national media, Sunita, the wife, confidently stated that this was her choice. She had a mutual commitment to both men, she said, and she understood their relationship was based on mutual care and responsibility. This demonstrates a modern awareness of partnership, emotional labour and shared obligations. This change indicates a larger shift in the social understanding of relationships for tribal communities. Consent is no longer silent or assumed: it is verbal, claimed and asserted publicly. This understanding of those who participate in this marriage seems different from the way it would have been, even a generation ago. The brothers too spoke directly about ' sensitivity', 'mutual respect' and 'emotional balance'. The modern framing of this relationship as one of mutual choice and emotional negotiation demonstrates how even longstanding customs can evolve, absorbing new values within the purview of older structures. Tradition is being reimagined. Sunita's statements have become a topic of debate, particularly among those who see her marriage as a welcome public show of agency within a customary arrangement often denounced as backward. It calls into question whether polyandry and related practices actually allow women to exercise power against the norms of patriarchy. In a national context in which Hindu monogamous marriage has become the normative legal and moral framework, practices like polyandry are simply framed as 'being against Indian culture' or 'a shameful act'. Polyandrous marriages challenge a singular understanding of Indian family norms. There is also an unsettling communal understanding of the practice, as if it is an extension of polygamous marriages permitted for Muslims. The marriage between Sunita and the Negi brothers compels us to ask: are our laws capable of accommodating the fluid realities of love and kinship that live outside the nuclear family? Can we imagine justice not just through conformity but in the recognition of a multiplicity of lived experiences? Most importantly, can we respect forms of consent that are produced and reproduced from within a community and its traditions?

Minister inaugurates ₹26-crore bridge at Navalpur in Ranipet
A ₹26.65 crore Road Over Bridge (ROB), which was built across the rail line at Navalpur in Ranipet town, was opened on Saturday, bringing relief to hundreds of motorists. Officials of National Highways wing of State Highways, who carried out the work along with Southern Railway, said that the entire work was completed in June this year. However, the new bridge was kept closed for official inauguration by the Centre as the project was entirely funded by the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. To end the ordeal of motorists of taking a detour to reach the town, the residents demanded its opening as early as possible for public use. 'The new bridge will end a detour of at least 5-6 kms to reach Ranipet town from surrounding villages to reach hospitals and government offices. Ambulances can reach the needy on time, using the new facility,' said R. Parvathi, a resident. Minister for Textiles and Handlooms, R. Gandhi, who is also Ranipet MLA, inaugurated the bridge by taking a stroll on the new facility along with residents, social activists, elected representatives and officials of State Highways. Originally given its nod in 2019, the bridge is jointly done by the Southern Railway and State Highways. The two-lane bridge is 921 metres long and 12 metres wide with at least 50 LED street lights on the bridge and its service lanes. Tiled footpaths with steel hand railings also provided. Staircases from the bridge to reach the railway station at Navalpur are available. Highways officials said that the railway track portion of the work including concrete decks and pillars were done by the railways to ensure train services on the route are not affected. Ramp of the bridge and approach roads were built by State Highways. Adequate land to lay service lanes have also been acquired. Restrictions during the pandemic (COVID-19) was a major reason for delay in completion of the bridge work. Residents said that most schools, colleges, bus stands, government offices and banks are located on one side of the rail line whereas residential colonies were located on opposite sides of the track. Prior to the opening of the new bridge, motorists travel to Chennai - Bengaluru Highway (NH 48) to reach Ranipet town due to bridge work. With the opening of the bridge, residents seek resumption of all buses including long distance ones to use the new bridge to reach Ranipet town.
