The Madras High Court questioned the construction of a new secretariat building in Chennai's Pattinampakkam, wondering how public money was wasted and what authority the court had to issue orders against the project. Separately, a bus operator from Erode withdrew her plea challenging the Tamil Nadu Government's “Vetri Payanam” Scheme, which provides free travel to women on state-owned buses.
