Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay will chair a Cabinet meeting at the Secretariat in Chennai on Thursday, October 29, with key industrial proposals, government initiatives, and administrative decisions expected to be discussed.This is the third Cabinet meeting since the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government assumed office.According to reports, the meeting is expected to consider approvals for new industrial projects, review the functioning of government departments and assess progress under the state’s Vetri Tamilagam vision document.The proposed new Secretariat complex at Pattinapakkam is also likely to be discussed amid opposition from local fishing communities and several political parties.Fishermen from more than 10 hamlets have reportedly demanded that the government withdraw its order for the project, citing concerns over their livelihoods and the impact on the coastal area.The proposal has also drawn criticism from opposition parties and some groups supporting the government.The Communist Party of India has launched a signature campaign seeking withdrawal of the government order and relocation of the project to an alternative site. However, it remains unclear whether the Cabinet will take a final decision on the issue during Thursday’s meeting.
