Tamil Nadu to Withdraw Cases Against Students Protesting NEET Exam
The Tamil Nadu government, following Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's directive, announced it will withdraw all cases against students who protested the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Minister for School Education Rajmohan confirmed the decision and said further details will be shared soon. The move aligns with similar actions by other states amid widespread protests against NEET, including demonstrations in Tamil Nadu and nationwide calls for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who has since resigned.
