AIADMK to protest demanding immediate opening of Palayamkottai Market inaugurated by Stalin in February
The AIADMK has announced that the party would soon organise demonstration demanding the immediate opening of the Mahatma Gandhi Market in Palayamkottai, rebuilt at a cost of ₹14.90 crore under the Centre's Smart City Mission programme, as it remains closed even after being inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on February 7. According to Thatchai N. Ganesa Raja, AIADMK's Tirunelveli district secretary, the 60-year-old market was rebuilt with 439 shops, cold storage and parking facility in the basement to generate the whopping revenue of ₹2.08 crore per annum to the Corporation. Even though this market was inaugurated by Mr. Stalin five months ago, the market still remains closed due to 'rampant corruption' in allotting the shops to the traders. 'While the traders, who had their shops in this market, demand preference in the allotment of shops, the Corporation says the shops would be assigned to those who are prepared to pay the rent fixed by the urban civic body. And, cases were filed by a few traders in the court that stalled the opening of the market. Though this interim stay has been vacated, the Corporation is in no mood to allot the shops through public auction in fair and transparent manner to the waiting applicants. So, we, in support of the waiting traders, have decided to protest demanding the immediate opening of the Palayamkottai Gandhi Market,' said Mr. Ganesa Raja. He also said the party would also organise a series of agitations if the 'Amma Unvagavam' within the Tirunelveli Corporation were not maintained well to serve quality food to the poor. 'The AIADMK funded the maintenance and operation of the 'Amma Unvagagam' during the COVID-induced lockdown. We gave the money for serving food to the poor during the pandemic. Now, the Corporation is allowing these eateries to die as it was the scheme initiated by Amma (late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa). We won't allow it to happen. If the Corporation still refuses to maintain these eateries well, the urban local body will face intense protest by the AIADMK,' Mr. Ganesa Raja warned.

The India UK free trade agreement was signed by commerce ministers of the countries in presence of PM Modi and his British counterpart Keir Starmer. (Bloomberg) A video of the moment, which happened when both the leaders were addressing the press, has surfaced. In the video, as the translator struggled to speak Hindi, PM Modi jumped in to help her and said, 'Don't bother, we can use English words in between. Don't worry about it." To this, the translator is heard apologising and Modi again reassures her with a 'don't worry'.

Lauding the trade deal, PM Modi said in a post on X (formerly twitter), "A new chapter begins today in the India-UK economic partnership! The signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) reflects our shared commitment to enhancing trade, driving inclusive growth and creating opportunities for farmers, women, youth, MSMEs, and professionals." UK PM Keir Starmer also wrote, 'A landmark deal with India means jobs, investment and growth here in the UK.

Trump Walks Back Threats To Elon Musk: 'I Want Him To THRIVE Like Never Before'
Donald Trump pledged to maintain federal subsidies for Elon Musk's companies in a post on Truth Social. US President Donald Trump appeared to dial down tensions with tech billionaire Elon Musk, declaring in a post on his social media platform Truth Social that he does not intend to revoke federal subsidies for Elon Musk's companies. 'Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the US Government. This is not so!" Donald Trump wrote, adding, 'I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before! The better they do, the better the USA does, and that's good for all of us." The post comes just weeks after Donald Trump threatened to cut off billions of dollars in government support to Elon Musk's ventures- including Tesla and SpaceX. The two high-profile figures, once perceived as allies, have experienced a turbulent relationship marked by occasional praise and sharp public jabs. Their rift came after Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Donald Trump concluded his post by reaffirming his optimistic economic outlook, as he asserted 'We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!"
