MK Stalin Forms Panel For Tamil Nadu's Autonomy Amid Run-Ins With Governor

MK Stalin Forms Panel For Tamil Nadu's Autonomy Amid Run-Ins With Governor Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has set up a high-level committee - under retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Kurien Joseph - to recommend measures on state autonomy with a view to protect state governments' rights and improve working relations with the union government. The committee has also been tasked with recommending measures to retrieve state subjects moved to the concurrent list; i.e., to return areas of governance and policy-making that were once left to state governments but are now jointly administered by the state and centre. The committee - which will include former bureaucrats Ashok Shetty and Mu Nagarajan - is expected to assess and evaluate laws without affecting the integrity of the union of states that makes up India.
