In today's edition of Tamil Nadu Brief, NDTV’s Sam Daniel: TVK chief and actor Vijay resumes his statewide tour from Erode, his first public meeting after the Karur stampede, attacking the ruling DMK as an “evil force” and pitching TVK as a “pure force” ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court reserves orders in the Thiruparankundram writ appeal, with the Tamil Nadu government arguing there is no evidence to prove the hilltop pillar near the dargah is a deepathoon meant for lighting the deepam. A woman LIC officer is charred to death in a fire at her office in Madurai, with an AC short circuit suspected.
