Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday offered prayers at the ancient Shiva temple of Gangaikonda Cholapuram in Tamil Nadu and also announced that grand statues of Chola emperors Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola will be erected to honour their contributions to Indian history and culture. The Prime Minister's promise of constructing new and grand statues of Chola emperors has been welcomed and deeply appreciated by Gangaikonda Cholapuram Development Committee. Gomagan, the president of Gangaikonda Cholapuram development committee expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister and said that this is a joyous moment for all of us. 'The visit of PM Modi to Gangaikonda Cholapuram is a joyous event for all of us. Since 2014, we have been celebrating the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival on behalf of the Gangaikonda Cholapuram development committee. In this context, we express our gratitude to Chief Minister Stalin for recognizing the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival as a state festival from the year 2022,' he said. He further said: "We thank PM Modi for his pledge to build a grand statue for Rajendra Chola, who is renowned for constructing a large navy amongst Indian kings and for leading Naval campaigns in the Southeast Asia." A special tribute was also paid to Rajendra Chola with the release of Rs 1,000 coin featuring his likeness, which brings pride and joy to all of us, Gangaikonda Cholapuram committee further said. Speaking during a special function at the historic Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple in Ariyalur district, PM Modi said that the Chola empire represented a golden era of India, marked by achievements in architecture, governance, diplomacy, trade, and cultural integration. 'The Cholas established strong political and trade ties with Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Southeast Asia. It is a coincidence that I returned from the Maldives yesterday, and today I stand here in the land once ruled by these visionary kings,' he remarked.

Who is Trisha Chatterjee? Indian-origin immigration lawyer who said ICE gave her Taco Bell number during client crisis — watch video
Trisha Chatterjee (Picture source: LinkedIn) Trisha Chatterjee, an Indian-origin immigration lawyer in Ohio, has alleged she was given the number of a Taco Bell outlet when she called ICE for urgent client support. Chatterjee posted about the incident on TikTok, where it went viral and ultimately led to help from another ICE official. But she says the larger issue lack of clear access to immigration authorities continues to cause serious harm to her clients. "I called and they answered and they said, 'Hello, Taco Bell?' And I said, 'Taco Bell?' And the guy who was working said, 'Yeah, Taco Bell. Ma'am, you called me," Chatterjee recalled. "I was in such disbelief," she said. "So, I called the ICE officer back, just really frustrated with what had just happened. He says, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I was trying to lighten the mood and make you laugh.'" ICE has denied the accusation. Homeland security called it a 'lie and a smear.' Chatterjee stood by her version of events. Who is Trisha Chatterjee? Trisha Chatterjee is an Indian-origin immigration lawyer based in Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. She graduated from Miami University in 2020 and the University of Dayton School of Law in 2023. She works with the law office of Emily Feliz Garcia, a small immigration firm in Springdale. Before this, she worked at Abdallah law offices. For the last two years, she has handled immigration cases, especially those involving clients detained at the Butler County Jail in Ohio, which has a contract with ICE. Chatterjee was trying to submit "stay of removal" applications—urgent paperwork that can pause deportation for clients with pending immigration cases. ICE requires these to be submitted in person at the Detroit field office, but she hoped to file them locally in Blue Ash. After being unable to reach anyone by phone or email, she finally spoke to an ICE officer who gave her a phone number that turned out to be for Taco Bell. When she called back, the officer reportedly said he was trying to make her laugh. She posted a video about the incident on TikTok, which gained over 38,000 views. Many users sympathised, and one even helped her connect with a helpful ICE official in Blue Ash, who is now assisting her. Chatterjee said the larger problem is the lack of access and communication with ICE. She also highlighted how a stricter bond policy is making it harder for immigrants to stay out of detention during legal proceedings. Bonds can cost up to $50,000 and must be paid upfront. According to Chatterjee, some clients are abandoning their asylum cases or choosing to self-deport out of fear. She mentioned recent local arrests of people attending ICE check-ins, which has only deepened anxiety in immigrant communities.

Stock Market Heats Up: 14 IPOs Including NSDL And 10 SMEs Launch Next Week
New Delhi: Next week, starting Monday, the Indian stock market will see a busy week with 14 new companies offering their shares to the public through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). These IPOs are on both the main stock market and the smaller SME segment, and together they aim to raise more than Rs 7,000 crore. One big IPO to watch is from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), opening on Wednesday. NSDL is India's largest company that handles the records of stocks and securities. The NSDL IPO is only a sale of existing shares and is priced between Rs 760 and Rs 800 per share. Experts expect strong demand from big investors because NSDL plays an important role in India's stock market. Other mainboard IPOs coming up include Aditya Infotech (an IT company focusing on cloud and AI), Laxmi India Finance (a finance company serving small businesses and rural customers), and Sri Lotus Developers (a real estate company). These companies' shares will open for subscription on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the SME side, smaller companies like Kaytex Fabrics, Renol Polychem, Cash Ur Drive, and others will also offer shares next week. Their issue sizes range from Rs 20 crore to Rs 130 crore. In addition to new IPOs, many companies are set to be listed (start trading) next week on the main and SME boards. For example, Indiqube Spaces and GNG Electronics will be listed on Wednesday, Brigade Hotel Ventures on Thursday, and Shanti Gold International on Friday. Several other small companies will also begin trading on the SME board. After a steady first half of 2025, IPO activity in India is expected to pick up, thanks to good market conditions and a healthy list of companies ready to raise money by selling shares to the public. IPOs help companies raise funds by selling ownership shares to investors, allowing the public to become shareholders.
