Chennai Corporation survey shows a rise in number of homeless persons
The number of homeless persons in the city has crossed 13,000, with the Central Business District of George Town in Royapuram Zone of the Chennai Corporation accounting for the most number of homeless people. The Chennai Corporation conducted a survey of the homeless in January, and found an increase in the number of persons without decent housing, when compared to the previous surveys that reported around 11,000 homeless individuals in the city. This has been attributed to an increasing number of people migrating from other districts and States in search of economic opportunities over the past few years. The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) found that the number of homeless individuals, which was 9623 by mid-February, had crossed 13,000 by the end of the survey in May. Ward 57 Councillor Rajesh Jain said: 'People from States such as Andhra Pradesh and Bihar have come to my ward in Royapuram zone in search of jobs, and some of them have been homeless. The number of homeless women is higher than that of men in several parts of my ward. Many people have come to Chennai in search of jobs from other districts also.' Pointing to the rise in the number of homeless persons on stretches such as Wall Tax Road and Prakasam Salai, Mr. Jain said they had started demanding housing facilities. 'We do not know the actual reason for the rise in the number of persons migrating to the city from other States. We have to verify whether it is due to failed agriculture in their native villages. We have taken measures to help them. Around 10% of the homeless children do not go to school. The GCC has two schools in the ward to provide free education for the children,' he said. Ward 56 Councillor V. Parimalam said efforts were being taken to persuade homeless children to go to school, pointing to the installation of smart classrooms in Chennai Corporation schools. They also face other challenges. R. Manikandan, who was identified as a homeless resident of Royapettah during the survey in January, had to move out of the area he used to live in due to the implementation of infrastructure projects by civic agencies. Though he rented a house in May, he has not been able to pay the rent of ₹3500 this month. G. Selva, CPI(M) district secretary, said there was an increase in the number of wage labourers without shelters in the city. 'They work hard. The government should ensure the dignity of such individuals.' An official of the Chennai Corporation said a number of homeless individuals, who were identified in the survey, did not have Aadhaar and ration cards. 'We will facilitate the issuance of ration cards for those who are yet to get one,' the official said.

Cochin Shipyard share price snaps 4-day rally, falls 4%. Should you too book profits?
Cochin Shipyard share price: PSU defence stock Cochin Shipyard snapped its four-day winning run on Monday, June 9, as it slid 4% amid profit taking by investors following a 23% rally over four sessions. The multibagger stock has faced significant gains, rising for four months in a row. Between March and June, Cochin Shipyard's share price is up 65%, with the scrip gaining 19% this month alone. The rally in Cochin Shipyard shares can be attributed to overall positive sentiment for the defence stocks following the rise in India-Pakistan tensions in light of Operation Sindoor. The Nifty India Defence index is trading at all-time high levels as defence stocks witness strong buying momentum. Analysts believe that the escalated need for defence equipment and systems has come to the fore, and the focus has now shifted to the execution of the order books to meet this expected demand, which is driving the defence stocks higher. Omniscience Capital expects the Defence budget to be increased to 3% to 4% of the GDP from the current ~2% level. "With a $10 trillion GDP, the defence budget is expected to grow to more than $300 bn USD or around INR 30 lac crores. This implies a 16-17% annualised growth till 2035," it said. However, amid a strong rally in Cochin Shipyard share price, technical analysts see a downside in the stock, advising caution for the time being. Cochin Shipyard rallied over 107% in just 40 days and has now formed a bearish shooting star at the top, followed by a downside move, indicating profit booking, said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments. "The recent exhaustion suggests that a short-term correction is underway. The stock is likely to test its previous swing high support zone around ₹ 2,150," he added. Traders should exercise caution at current levels, as the extended rally now looks due for a healthy pullback before any fresh upmove, Jain advised.
