Madurai The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday granted bail to YouTuber A. Durai Murugan Pandiyan who runs a YouTube channel ‘Saattai’. He had used the images of the former Chief Minister and DMK leader M. Karunanidhi and BJP leader Khushbu Sundar in a video uploaded on his channel. Hurt by the contents of the video and usage of images, the party cadre lodged a complaint with the Thiruppanandal police, Thanjavur district. Tiruchi-based Durai Murugan was arrested and remanded in judicial custody. The bail petitions filed before the trial court were dismissed.
Revenue quasi-judicial authorities now cannot go scot-free if they issue any orders with mala fide intentions with respect to government land. The government has initiated the process of disciplinary action against a few such authorities who allegedly pronounced orders with vested interests to favour those who encroached upon government land.

In a major move, decades-old encroachments around Perumal Teppam, belonging to Koodal Alagar Temple, on the busy Town Hall Road were removed on Monday. Under tight police security, Corporation authorities removed the makeshift shops and eateries around the tank in the presence of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department officials.
