District administrations are actively involved in the preparations for the opening of schools. In this context, the Chief Secretary has issued an important order to the District Collectors regarding the opening of schools on the 13th.

While MK Stalin has decided to appoint V Thiruppugazh to head the panel to mitigate the flood risk in the city, Chief Secretary V Irai Anbu refused to accept the appointment and didn't sign the file.

Thiruppugazh was a Gujarat cadre IAS officer and a native of Salem, Tamil Nadu. Notably, he is the elder brother of Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary V Irai Anbu.

Through appointing Irai Anbu, Stalin has displayed that he is committed to building a robust administration in addressing the pandemic and other forms of crisis.
