AIADMK demands ₹1,000 crore for civic body to create basic amenities in Madurai city
The DMK, which came to power in the State with a lot of promises, has failed to keep them, according to former AIADMK Minister Sellur K. Raju.
Addressing a demonstration organised by his party here on Tuesday, Mr. Raju said the DMK, while in the Opposition, had demanded that the State government distribute ₹5,000 assistance. But after coming to power, it failed to distribute ₹2,500 Pongal gift, as was done by the Palaniswami-led AIADMK government.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
