Thirumavalavan asks government to restore Adi Dravidar Welfare name
Reviewed
Times of India reported that VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan asked the Tamil Nadu government to restore the Adi Dravidar Welfare Department name instead of continuing under the broader Social Justice label. TVK Tracker records this as a portfolio, identity, and social-justice demand inside the ruling support ecosystem. It does not change department status by itself, but it gives a specific public test to track: whether the cabinet, government orders, or rules of business revise the department name or clarify the policy reason for retaining the current structure.
Greater Chennai Corporation suspends six officials over corruption charges
In Progress
Times of India reported that the Greater Chennai Corporation suspended six officials, including senior officers, over corruption-related charges involving bribery, cash-for-jobs allegations, and misuse of funds.

Hindustan Times also reported Vijay's anti-bribery remarks and memorial announcement during the Karur visit. TVK Tracker records this as a relief, legal, and speech-development file rather than a completed justice outcome, because the CBI probe and court review remain active.
