Green shades damaged by gusty wind pose risk to commuters in Chennai
CHENNAI: The unexpected showers that are sometimes accompanied by gusts have damaged the green shades installed at a few traffic intersections in the city, posing risk to commuters. Though the Nungambakkam observatory recorded only light rain of around 1.5 cm from the showers on Tuesday, the spell was accompanied by bouts of wind. Following the rain, the green shade near the new Avadi road junction was found dangling below, at a length that may hit the wind shields of heavy vehicles and potentially throw two-wheeler riders off balance. Last month, commuters told TNIE the shade near the fort station signal was similarly found torn. North-Chennai based activist Jai Ganesh spotted a torn green shade at GNT Road in Erukkancheri on Monday, tweeting to officials for help. 'This (the fallen net) is posing a serious threat to pedestrians and motorists,' he said in a social media post. The Chennai corporation had installed the temporary structures during the summer to protect two-wheeler riders from the heat. To mitigate the danger, the residents suggest turning these temporary structures to permanent all-weather structures which can protect commuters from both the rain and the sun, as was envisioned by the corporation when they began the initiative last year. Officials, during then, had discussed replacing the green nets with PVC sheets, which can also turn out to be helpful for those riding in the rain.

Unni Mukundan's fan club warns people from ‘maliciously' linking him to female actors, speculating on his love life
Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan is all anyone can talk about ever since his 2024 film Marco became a massive hit.

(Also Read: Unni Mukundan defends film industry amid Shine Tom Chacko's arrest in drugs case: 'Cinema alone cannot be blamed') In a strongly worded note, the fan club addressed the issue, writing, 'We have been repeatedly condemning the malicious activities of certain fan pages which are spreading false and misleading information about Unni Mukundan. We request these pages to avoid making videos of Unni Mukundan and female co-actors. Despite out repeated explicit request to refrain from linking his name with other actresses, this despicable behaviour is still ongoing which is totally unacceptable, disrespectful. We feel (it) is damaging to Unni Mukundans reputation as well.' The fan club then asked people to 'stop coming up with such videos' if they genuinely wish him well. They also asked the other fan clubs to support his 'films and craft'. 'Please avoid bringing his personal life to limelight with wrong and misleading information. Don't fill up the social media platform with fake personal stories and link-ups,' they wrote. The note ended with the club urging people to 'cease their malicious activities immediately', calling their post a 'final warning'. They also threatened action against those who continue to do it. A post shared by All Kerala Unni Mukundan Fans&Welfare Association (@ This comes after a few Unni fan pages posted videos of the actor with female co-stars during promotions, pointing out their 'cute moments'. Matrubhumi reported that Unni re-shared the fan page's warning on his Instagram stories too. In 2024, Unni starred in Jai Ganesh, Garudan, and Marco. This year, he starred in Get-Set Baby. He will soon be seen in Mindiyum Paranjum, with Aparna Balamurali as his co-star.
