Tamil Nadu Governor Arlekar, in his inaugural address to the State Assembly, pledged a firm stance against illegal mining and tax evasion. This address follows the recent assumption of office by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led coalition government under Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.
Governor R.N. Ravi, addressing the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly for the first time since the new government took charge, declared a resolute approach to combat illicit activities. He stated that the government would deal with illegal mining and tax evasion with an "iron hand."
