Month: January 2026

It’s 9:00 PM on Friday, January 30, 2026. Today, the state’s rhythm was a mix of a high-speed “Dravidian” pedal, a somber forensic discovery in a dump yard, and a deadline-day scramble that has millions of voters checking their digital footprints.

The government doctors’ protest in Tamil Nadu has intensified after negotiations with state health officials failed to resolve long-standing demands, according to organizers of the movement. Doctors began a 48-hour hunger strike this week, and the agitation has now entered a more vigorous phase with broader non-cooperation measures.

K. Selvaperunthagai, president of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC), has directed party leaders to refrain from publicly discussing alliance matters, especially talks with the DMK and other potential partners, as negotiations and preparations for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections intensify.
