The Tamil Nadu government, following Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's directive, announced the withdrawal of all cases against students who protested the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Education Minister A. Rajmohan confirmed the decision on social media, with further details pending. This move aligns with similar actions by other states amid nationwide protests triggered by NEET-related concerns, including a paper leak and demands for the resignation of the Union Education Minister, who has since stepped down.
