Letters to The Editor — October 6, 2026 Push Russia towards peace It is disquieting that inspite of appeals, proddings including warnings by a raft of global leaders and organisations, there is no indication on the part of the Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the hostilities against Ukraine that have entered the fifth year. (Inside pages, October 4). The relentless aerial attacks by Russia have caused colossal destruction. Before the situation spins out of control, it is incumbent upon the key countries which profess supremacy in warfare to step up various forms of pressure on Russia to end the war. V. Johan Dhanakumar, Chennai Singeetham Srinivasa Rao In the passing of Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, Indian cinema has lost a legendary director who envisioned concepts far ahead of his time. With extraordinary command of various crafts, he created unique and pathbreaking films.
