Coimbatore District (Rural) Police grope in the dark
Coimbatore District (Rural) Police are groping in the dark as Thudiyalur witnessed at least seven reported cases of housebreaks in two days, including the one at the villa of a businessman from where burglars decamped with jewellery worth ₹ 1.30 crore.
Sources said that the police were yet to make a breakthrough in tracing the burglars.
Diamond jewellery worth ₹1,27,50,000 and gold jewellery valued ₹ 2,50,000 were reportedly stolen from the villa of B. Srinivasan, a dairy products distributor, in a semi-gated community at Gounder Mills in the early hours of Saturday. The burglars entered the residence by breaking open the backdoor on the ground floor while the family members slept on the first floor.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
