Curated Updates
Even as the Rs 1,000 Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam payment was credited on May 15, MK Stalin maintained pressure on the TVK government, questioning whether the promised "restructuring" of the scheme ahead of the Rs 2,500 hike signalled a quiet rollback of the original entitlement.
After the Congress announced V.D. Satheesan as Kerala's next Chief Minister, political attention turned to whether Tamil Nadu CM Vijay would attend the swearing-in ceremony, given that UDF constituents Congress and IUML are key TVK alliance partners who helped the government secure a simple majority.
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay announced a 2 per cent Dearness Allowance increase for government employees and teachers, raising DA from 58 per cent to 60 per cent effective January 1, 2026. The hike benefits 16 lakh employees, teachers, pensioners, and family pensioners at an additional annual cost of ₹1,230 crore.
The TVK government credited the monthly Rs 1,000 Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam payment to women beneficiaries' bank accounts on May 15, following CM Vijay's direct intervention to ensure continuity pending the promised hike to Rs 2,500.
