Former Civil Servants Urge Tamil Nadu Government to Reinstate Union-State Relations Committee
A group of former civil servants has urged Tamil Nadu's new Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam-led government to restore the high-level committee on Union-state relations, disbanded in November 2025. The committee, established under the previous Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam administration and chaired by former Supreme Court judge Kurian Joseph, had reviewed constitutional provisions and policies affecting Centre-state relations. Supporters emphasize the importance of completing the committee's work on federal issues, while the current government cited its non-statutory status and reconstitution of the State Law Commission as reasons for disbanding it.
