30 C Tamil Nadu / The Times of India
Tamil Nadu is witnessing a significant shift towards cleanliness, driven by community-led initiatives and government programs like Swachh Bharat Mission. Bio-mining of landfills and decentralized waste management are transforming dumping sites into public spaces, while mechanized sweeping tackles urban dust pollution, contributing to improved public health and aligning with global sanitation goals.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has voiced strong opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu, alleging it could compromise democratic rights. The party criticized the DMK for not passing a similar resolution against the SIR as Kerala did, and raised concerns about potential selective deletions and lack of clarity in the revision process.
