3.28 lakh Tamil Nadu teachers face job risk over TET, state seeks permanent exemption

In Tamil Nadu, Vijay is unveiling new welfare measures and reversing a significant policy decision. He has pledged three free LPG cylinders per year and expanded free travel schemes, aiming to solidify his political platform. Simultaneously, in Delhi, law enforcement agencies are investigating a suspected Rs 7,000-crore cocaine network with ties to Dubai.

Meanwhile, heavy rainfall has caused disruption in the NCR region, prompting an alert from authorities. In Kashmir, fresh security threats against Pandit families have reignited anxieties. The cancellation of the proposed Parandur airport, a promise made following Vijay's initial political protest, marks another political shift in the region.

As Tamil Nadu's political landscape evolves, fresh challenges and developments continue to shape the state's governance and security dynamics.
