After demolitions in Delhi's Madrasi Camp, Tamil Nadu offers support to families
The Tamil Nadu government on Sunday said that it will support families looking to return to their native districts after their homes in the Madrasi Camp in New Delhi's Jangpura area were demolished. The decades-old camp, built overlooking the Barapullah drain near Nizamuddin Railway Station, housed 370 tenements and was predominantly inhabited by families originally from Tamil Nadu. On Sunday, the Delhi Development Authority demolished the homes in the camp on the directions of the Delhi High Court, The Indian Express reported. The Delhi government was directed to relocate the families as the camp was allegedly blocking the Barapullah drain, which was leading to waterlogging. Hours after the demolition, the Tamil Nadu government stated that it was in 'active coordination' with the residents of the Madrasi Camp to ensure every possible support was extended to them without delay. It added that Chief Minister MK Stalin had directed the Tamil Nadu House in New Delhi, the guest house of the state government, to facilitate and oversee the coordination efforts. 'Comprehensive support, including assistance for livelihood and other essential needs, will be extended to them,' said the state government. 'This assistance will be facilitated through the offices of the concerned District Collectors to ensure timely and effective implementation.' Describing the Madrasi Camp as an 'unauthorised encroachment', the High Court on May 9 directed authorities to clear the area along the Barapullah drain. It said the camp was obstructing drainage and causing severe waterlogging in the surrounding areas during the monsoons. The court had also directed that eligible residents be rehabilitated and relocated under provisions of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act and the Delhi Slum and Jhuggi Jhopri Rehabilitation and Relocation Policy, The New Indian Express reported. Subsequently, the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board determined that only 215 out of the 370 residents in the camp were eligible for housing. These families were allotted residential units in Narela, a northern suburb over 35 kms from the camp, The Indian Express reported. The remaining 155 families had reportedly failed to meet documentation or eligibility criteria. The settlement, which is more than six decades old, housed Tamil-speaking migrants who had arrived in the national capital seeking employment as domestic workers, cooks and daily-wage labourers.

DMK launched ‘Oraniyil Tamil Nadu' enrolment drive
Madurai: Gearing up for the 2026 assembly elections, DMK president and chief minister M K Stalin launched an enrolment drive titled 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu' at the party's general council meeting held at Uthangudi on Sunday. Unveiling the campaign, Stalin urged party cadres to enrol at least 30% of voters in each polling booth as DMK members through a massive door-to-door outreach. "The welfare schemes of the Dravidian-model govt have reached every household. At least one beneficiary lives in each home. That trust must now translate into political unity. We must ensure DMK's presence in every street, every house," Stalin told the cadres. Reading out a special resolution announcing the drive, Stalin instructed the functionaries to achieve their membership enrolment targets in two months. Earlier, the general council passed 27 other resolutions, many of them criticising the BJP for Waqf Act, Hindi imposition and delimitation. DMK also hit out at BJP for allegedly undermining Tamil heritage by rejecting the findings of the Keeladi excavations. A resolution said railway projects in TN were hit because of discriminatory fund allocation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here!

During the meeting, DMK announced that two new party wings would be created - one for persons with disabilities, and another for academicians.

DMK condemns the Union government for misusing Central agencies against Opposition-ruled States
Condemning the Union government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for letting loose the Central agencies such as the CBI, Income Tax and Directorate of Enforcement against the non-BJP State governments in the country, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) said that it would not be cowed down by such threats. The party general council meeting was held in Madurai on Sunday under the leadership of its president and TN Chief Minister M K Stalin in which a large number of senior leaders, ministers, MPs, MLAs and council members from across Tamil Nadu participated. As many as 28 resolutions were passed at the meeting. The meeting condemned the searches conducted by the ED officials in the TASMAC headquarters in Chennai. While the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) had booked cases against the TASMAC during the AIADMK regime, the BJP had used the ED to raid the offices of the TASMAC and its officials thus giving impression that the DMK government was involved in malpractices. Lauding Mr Stalin for his able administration and leading the State towards progressive growth in every sphere, the meeting said that Tamil Nadu not only stood on top of the board but set a 'model' for the entire nation through innovation and for its implementation of novel welfare programs. The swift move to approach the Supreme Court by Mr Stalin came in for unanimous appreciation. After the Governor failed in his duty, the apex court's directive to the Governor had set a new meaning to the Constitution. It was not a victory to the elected government in Tamil Nadu, but the order put at rest the confusion over the federal structure in a democratic fabric, a resolution said. In another resolution, the ruling party said that fearing trouble, the AIADMK had pledged its self-respect with the BJP. The DMK would not fall prey to any such pressure tactics. It would not be 'controlled' by Amit Shah or any Shah. The DMK would protect the rights of the people boldly, the resolution affirmed. A majority of the resolutions targeted the BJP and the party's prime political opponent AIADMK. From the time Mr Stalin took over as the president of the party, there has been no looking back for the organisation as it had emerged victorious in the Lok Sabha polls, Assembly elections, by-polls, local body elections in the State. The trend would continue in the next year Assembly elections and the party would romp home victory, the meeting resolved. June 3 as 'Semmozhi' Day The party would celebrate June 3, the birthday of late leader M Karunanidhi, as Semmozhi Day by organising meetings in 102 locations in Tamil Nadu. The late leader's sacrifices and achievements, who toiled for the State and served the people for over five decades and ruled for five terms as Chief Minister, would be disseminated to the younger generations, a resolution said. The meeting resolved to retrieve Katchatheevu in the larger interest of the traditional fishermen. The members strongly opposed imposition of Hindi language in any form. They condemned the Union government for continuously neglecting the State's interest in Railways and other Central projects. The members urged through a resolution to take back Waqf amendment 2025 by the Union government and urged to take up the caste census swiftly.
