Tamil Nadu CM Vijay to Move Resolution Seeking Tamil as Principal Language of Madras High Court

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay is scheduled to move a resolution in the state Assembly seeking recognition of Tamil as the principal language of the Madras High Court.

The issue has cultural as well as administrative significance for Tamil Nadu. Supporters of greater use of Tamil in judicial proceedings argue that it could make legal processes easier for ordinary citizens, while questions concerning constitutional and administrative procedures remain part of the broader debate.

Tamil Nadu to Introduce Digital Driving Licences and RCs From September 15

Tamil Nadu Opens Mettur Dam Gates for Cauvery Delta Irrigation

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the sluice gates of the Stanley Reservoir at Mettur to release Cauvery water for irrigation in the delta region. The release is aimed at supporting farmers who depend heavily on the Cauvery system for agricultural activities. The opening comes after a delay in the seasonal release schedule, making the development particularly important for farmers preparing for the agricultural season.

The water release is expected to benefit agricultural areas downstream of Mettur and provide much-needed support for cultivation. Farmers and agricultural communities across the Cauvery delta will be closely monitoring water availability in the coming weeks, particularly as crop planning and irrigation requirements increase.

Assembly Debate Puts TASMAC Procurement Under Spotlight

Tamil Nadu Assembly Debates TASMAC Procurement and MRP Complaints

The Tamil Nadu Assembly witnessed a heated discussion over TASMAC procurement practices and allegations of overcharging beyond the Maximum Retail Price. Opposition members questioned the transparency of the procurement system, while the government defended its procedures.

The debate comes as TASMAC continues to remain an important source of state revenue. Official figures reported today show that TASMAC revenue crossed ₹50,000 crore during 2025–26, reaching approximately ₹50,845.84 crore despite the closure of hundreds of outlets.

The issue is likely to remain politically sensitive because it combines questions about consumer pricing, government revenue and regulation.

Aavin Raises Milk Procurement Price Again

Tamil Nadu Raises Aavin Milk Procurement Price by ₹3 Per Litre

The Tamil Nadu government has increased the milk procurement price paid to dairy producers by ₹3 per litre, marking the second increase within a month. The revised procurement price is aimed at providing better returns to milk producers across the state.

The move is expected to benefit approximately 3.16 lakh milk producers. The state government has also indicated financial support for Aavin to help manage the additional procurement cost.

The latest increase is significant for dairy farmers because procurement prices directly affect their earnings and ability to maintain cattle, feed and other farm-related expenses.
