In a major push for women’s empowerment and social inclusion, the Kerala government has announced that women and transgender individuals can travel free of cost on state-run buses starting June 15, 2026. Named the ‘Priyadarshini’ scheme, the initiative fulfills a key election promise made under the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) government’s ‘Indira Guarantee’ welfare programme.

The emergence of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, has significantly reshaped Tamil Nadu’s political landscape following the 2026 Assembly elections. Reports suggest that internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) adopted during the campaign may have helped the party secure close to 52% voter preference in key segments, marking a strong debut for the newly formed party.

In a significant administrative move during the peak of the state’s electoral process, the Central Government has granted a six-month service extension to West Bengal’s Director General of Police (DGP), Siddh Nath Gupta. The 1992-batch IPS officer, who was originally slated to retire on April 30, 2026, will now continue to lead the state’s police force until the end of October.
