Cops granted 4.48 lakh days of weekly offs, says CM Stalin
Replying to MLA M Sinthanai Selvan's questions during the Assembly session, Stalin also said that views on discrepancies in police salary structures have been collected and are under government review. On promotion issues, he clarified that promotions are decided by the respective district and city police heads, and that there is no provision for state-wide promotions based solely on state seniority.
Responding to MLA Vanathi Srinivasan, Stalin said the murder of auditor Ramesh had occurred during the previous AIADMK government's tenure and that the case was still pending.
Assuring that Tamil Nadu would never face 'Kashmir-like incidents', he urged the Union government to release funds without imposing conditions like mandatory implementation of a three-language policy.
He also sought Vanathi Srinivasan's support for the state's developmental and educational initiatives.
Countering Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami's allegations on the law and order situation, Stalin said Tamil Nadu has recorded reduced crime rates, zero custodial deaths since 2022, massive drug seizures, swift delivery of justice, expanded CCTV surveillance, and large-scale police recruitment under the DMK regime.

Consider ground realities, remember Pahalgam attack: Supreme Court tells petitioners seeking restoration of J&K Statehood
The Supreme Court on Thursday (August 14, 2025) asked petitioners, seeking direction to the Union government to make good its promise to restore Jammu and Kashmir's Statehood, to be aware of 'ground realities' like the Pahalgam terror attack. Appearing before a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, petitioners, represented by senior advocates Gopal Sankaranarayanan and Menaka Guruswamy, repeatedly drew the attention of the court to the assurance given by the Union government to restore Jammu and Kashmir as a State. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for the Centre, said it was questionable why the petitioners have come at 'this stage' of events, wondered whether their intent was to 'muddy the waters' in that part of the country. EXPLAINED | Supreme Court's verdict upholding the abrogation of Article 370 The court sought a response from the Centre and posted the case for hearing after eight weeks. Mr. Mehta said the Centre had assured the court that it would hold elections in Jammu and Kashmir. 'This was fulfilled,' the top law officer said. 'Several considerations have to be seen into for the restoration of Statehood,' he submitted. The CJI turned to the petitioners to observe that 'you have to take into consideration the ground realities... Remember what happened in Pahalgam'. Also Read | Supreme Court dismisses pleas to review Article 370 judgment The plea, filed by Zahoor Ahmed Bhat and activist Khurshid Ahmad Malik, had pointed out that the apex court had, in its 2023 judgment, while upholding the abrogation, merely accepted the assurance of the Centre to restore Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir 'at the earliest'. They had pointed out that the Assembly polls were held peacefully. 'Therefore, there is no impediment of security concerns, violence or any other disturbances which would hinder or prevent the grant/restoration of the status of Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir as had been assured by the Union of India in the present proceedings,' the petitioners had argued. They argued that the lack of restoration of Statehood in a time-bound manner amounted to a violation of federalism, which was part of the Basic Structure of the Constitution. In its 2023 verdict, a Constitution Bench of the apex court had unanimously upheld the power of the President to abrogate Article 370 in August 2019, leading to the reorganisation of the full-fledged State of Jammu and Kashmir to two Union Territories and denuding it of its special privileges. The five-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud (now retired) had confirmed that the President could 'unilaterally issue a notification that Article 370 ceases to exist'. The court held that the President had the power to abrogate Article 370 if 'special circumstances warrant a special solution'. The judgment had reasoned that the abrogation of Article 370 was the culmination of a 'gradual and collaborative exercise' spread over the past 70 years between the Centre and the State to integrate Jammu and Kashmir with the Union. The objective of the integration process was to make the entirety of the rights and obligations enshrined in the Indian Constitution applicable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Centre outlines plan to meet the energy requirements of 2047 India
The Union ministry of petroleum and natural gas has outlined a strategic plan to meet India's energy needs by 2047, the year the government aims to attain 'developed nation' status. In a recent meeting, the ministry discussed pathways to develop a unified strategic vision for shaping India's energy future and aligning national priorities with key Indian and global energy trends, petroleum and natural gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on X on Thursday. The meeting gains significance as it has been held in the backdrop of the ongoing tariff wars and geopolitical tensions. "In an insightful strategic plan, we outlined the pathbreaking changes India needs to introduce in order to meet the energy needs of 2047. The presentation discussed pathways to develop a unified strategic vision for shaping India's energy future; align national priorities with key Indian and global energy trends, how to Make in India for the World, advancing energy self-reliance and sustainability through reforms, enhance domestic output, value maximisation of mature fields, and the creation of future-ready energy ecosystems in the country, said his tweet. 'We also discussed ways and the need for strengthening the @PetroleumMin organization and capabilities for future readiness to be able to deliver,' he added. India's energy demand has been growing and has touched new record levels in the past few years. According to data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell, India's petroleum product demand continues to remain robust, with consumption seen at a record 252.9 million tonnes for the ongoing fiscal year (2025-26). This is 4.65% higher than the 241.8 million tonnes projected for 2024-25, driven by key transport fuels petrol and diesel. This would be the third year in a row that India's petroleum product consumption has hit a record high. At a time when global oil demand is expected to taper down in the years ahead amid economic slowdown concerns and the transition towards electric mobility, India has emerged as one of the few outliers. To be sure, the transition to electric mobility, having started only recently, is expected to gain pace and penetrate the automobile market in a significant way going ahead. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), India's demand for oil will increase more than any other country at a million barrels per day (bpd) over the next five years, making it the main driver of global demand growth. The meeting for charting the plan to meet the long-term energy demand also gains significance as India aims to become the refining and petrochemical hub of the world. India's oil refining capacity is expected to reach 309.5 million metric tonnes per annum by 2028, from the current 256.8 MMTPA. India is also an exporter of petrol and diesel, among other petroleum products.

Suresh Kumar calls for urgent reform of government schools in Karnataka
BENGALURU: BJP MLA and former primary and secondary education minister of Karnataka, S Suresh Kumar, has warned that the state risks 'losing an entire generation' unless it overhauls its entire government school system. 'Education is the true strength to uplift the downtrodden,' he said, urging the legislature to treat education reform as an urgent priority rather than a distant goal. In an interview with The New Indian Express, Kumar highlighted a troubling reality. It's the lower middle class and poor families that are spending nearly 20% of their income on private schooling because they fear government schools cannot deliver. 'Ironically, many private schools are worse. We must restore faith in our government institutions,' he stressed. His vision includes setting up a model school in every gram panchayat, offering quality education from LKG to Class 12. 'No child should be denied education because of poverty or geography,' he added. Citing his visit to a government school in Wayanad, Kerala, Kumar said its quality stunned him. 'If Kerala can do it, so can Karnataka. What we lack is not potential, but political will,' he asserted. Though he has not yet visited Delhi's much-praised AAP model schools, Kumar said the state should at least begin discussions in the Assembly to chart a reform roadmap. On the state of teaching staff, Kumar offered a blunt assessment: 25% are outstanding, 10% unfit and 65% 'fence-sitters'. The solution, he said, lies in empowering the best teachers to inspire the rest, backed by a full SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of the system. Kumar also cited the example of philanthropist Dr Venkatappa, who pledged Rs 6 crore to build a modern school in Channapatna, but ultimately spent Rs 14 crore when costs escalated. 'Such heroes should be celebrated and supported,' he said. The former minister's call has drawn a mixed response. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah acknowledged the importance of the issue and agreed it merits an exclusive discussion in the Assembly. Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa, however, questioned Kumar's record in office. 'What was he doing when the BJP was in power? We are already implementing reforms to fix the rot that set in under BJP rule, and they are yielding results. Still, we welcome suggestions from everyone. We are deeply grateful to philanthropists like Venkatappa,' he said.
