  "summary": "The Tamil Nadu Cabinet has decided to form a commission led by a retired High Court judge to conduct the Social Justice Survey, as announced at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay. The survey, which was one of the key election promises of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, will be conducted after the completion of the ongoing Census next year. The commission is expected to be constituted by February or March 2027. The Cabinet also discussed the recent Supreme Court judgment on reservation benefits for Hindu Backward Classes converting to Islam, and decided to file a review petition in the Supreme Court. Additionally, the Cabinet deliberated on the unresolved issue of 600 acres of poramboke land in Thalambur village and approved eight new industrial proposals.",
