Tamil Nadu Government Disbands Union-State Relations Panel, Transfers Duties to Law Commission
The Tamil Nadu government has disbanded the High-Level Committee on Union-State Relations, formed in 2025 under the previous DMK administration to review federalism and state autonomy. Its functions have been transferred to the reconstituted Tamil Nadu State Law Commission, established in August 2026 with a broader mandate including legal and administrative reforms. Law Minister Nirmal Kumar defended the move, citing member resignation and commission tenure expiry, while also criticizing opposition leader M.K. Stalin for politicizing the issue amid unrelated controversies.
