The Rajya Sabha functioned briefly on Thursday (July 24, 2025) to bid farewell to the retiring members but Opposition protests continued in the Lok Sabha over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, disrupting the proceedings for the fourth consecutive day. Soon after the lower house sat for the day, Speaker Om Birla had to adjourn proceedings when Opposition members raised slogans, entered the Well of the House and also displayed placards. Addressing senior Congress leader K.C. Venugopal, Mr. Birla said it was not the culture of his party to indulge in sloganeering in the House and lamented about crores of tax payers' money being wasted. While the Lok Sabha which reconvened at about 2 p.m. was adjourned after the Opposition continued to protest over the SIR, Rajya Sabha had a brief period of calm, as the House bid farewell to six retiring members from Tamil Nadu — M. Mohamed Abdulla (DMK), N. Chandrasegharan (AIADMK), Anbumani Ramadoss (PMK), M. Shanmugam (DMK), Vaiko (MDMK) and P. Wilson (DMK). Mr. Wilson has been re-elected and will be returning to the upper house. Shortly after the farewell addresses ended, the Opposition resumed its protest demanding a debate on SIR forcing an adjournment till 2 p.m. When it reconvened post lunch, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025 was taken up for discussion. Opposition MPs continued their protest and raised slogans demanding that the SIR exercise be stopped and the House was adjourned for the day.

2.4K secondary grade teachers hired after 11 years in Tamil Nadu
CHENNAI: Over 11 years since the last recruitment for the post was done in 2014, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Thursday handed over appointment orders to 2,457 secondary grade teachers selected through the Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB). He also launched books developed under two key initiatives of the school education department — Thiran and TN Spark. The appointments were based on a TRB examination conducted in 2024, followed by certificate verification and counselling completed earlier this month. According to sources, the last recruitment of secondary grade teachers, who are posted in primary and middle schools, took place in 2014, when over 1,500 candidates were appointed. Addressing the teachers, Udhayanidhi recalled welfare measures implemented by previous DMK governments for school teachers and stressed on the long-standing association between the Dravidian movement and teachers. Udhayanidhi said that for the first time in the history of the school education department, there are no vacancies of secondary grade teacher posts in hilly regions, and described the tenure of Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi as the golden age of the department. Udhayanidhi also released books developed under the Thiran (Targeted Help for Improving Remediation & Academic Nurturing) scheme, aimed at enhancing language and mathematical skills of students in classes 6 to 9.

Cauvery-Vaigai-Gundar project stalled due to DMK's political vendetta: Edappadi K Palaniswami
PUDUKKOTTAI: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has accused the DMK government of shelving 'the highly beneficial' Cauvery-Vaigai-Gundar link canal project due to political vendetta. Addressing a gathering during his statewide tour titled 'Makkalai Kappom; Thamizhagathai Meetpom' in Gandarvakottai in Pudukkottai district, Palaniswami said the project that was launched by him during his tenure as chief minister with an initial allocation of Rs 700 crore would have led to the prosperity of Gandarvakottai constituency, which is rich in agriculture and has a high concentration of farmers and agricultural labourers. 'However, after the DMK assumed power, the project was put on hold,' he said. The AIADMK chief said had the project been completed, waterbodies would have been filled, and the groundwater level would have risen. 'An excellent project has been stalled due to political vendetta. Once the AIADMK returns to power, the project initiated at an estimated cost of Rs 14,000 crore will be implemented,' he said. Palaniswami further took a dig at the DMK's public outreach programme, saying the ruling party has now been reduced to a situation where it has to go door to door pleading with people to join the party. 'In contrast, the AIADMK is a party with strong influence and stature like steel, with the ISI stamp on it,' he said. Criticising the DMK government's performance, the opposition leader said despite the DMK promising to extend the 100-day employment scheme to 150 days before coming to power, the government has failed to fulfil it. 'They have not waived off education loans either. These are the people who captured power by spreading lies,' he added.
