Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin Bats For State autonomy Amid Centre-State Showdown

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.
