'Ungaludan Stalin' camps to be held from July 15 across Chennai wards

Chennai: The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) will launch the next phase of its flagship citizen outreach programme, 'Ungaludan Stalin', from July 15, bringing a range of civic and welfare services directly to residents across all 200 wards in the city. According to an official release, six wards will host the first set of camps on the opening day — Ward 25 (Madhavaram Zone), Ward 38 (Tondiarpet Zone), Ward 76 (Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar Zone), Ward 109 (Teynampet Zone), Ward 143 (Valasaravakkam Zone), and Ward 168 (Adyar Zone). The camps will function between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. The initiative, personally overseen by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, aims to address residents' grievances, ensure delivery of welfare schemes, and improve access to public services. Each ward will host two such camps between July 15 and October 31, ensuring comprehensive citywide coverage. In total, around 2,000 trained volunteers will be involved in the programme. Beginning Monday, volunteers will start distributing application forms door-to-door across selected areas, along with detailed information on available services, required documents, and the process for availing benefits. Residents will have access to on-the-spot grievance redressal, document verification, welfare enrolments, and even medical services at these camps. Once applications are submitted, officials will ensure they are processed within 45 days, the Corporation stated. The programme will roll out in phases, with Phase 1 covering 109 wards between July 15 and August 14. The remaining wards will be covered in subsequent phases through October. 'Ungaludan Stalin' was initially conceptualised as a grassroots governance model that encourages direct citizen engagement. The camps act as platforms where residents can submit applications for old age pensions, smart ration cards, birth/death certificates, house tax-related corrections, and more — all under one roof. Officials said this model has helped speed up service delivery, reduce bureaucratic delays, and foster greater trust between the public and the administration. Residents are encouraged to participate actively and make use of the services provided, as this initiative continues to be a crucial link between government and grassroots.

Hindi row: Why Uddhav Sena has distanced itself from Stalin's hardline stance - BMC in focus?

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin with Uddhav Thackeary (File photo) NEW DELHI: Uddhav Thackeray and his estranged cousin Raj Thackeray's rare show of unity in Mumbai over the victory against "Hindi imposition" gave fresh vigour to Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin , who hailed it as part of a "generational battle for linguistic rights" and extended support to fight Hindi dominance unitedly. However, Stalin's fiery endorsement was quickly doused by the Uddhav Sena, which chose to distance itself from the DMK's radical stand on the Hindi language. Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut drew a clear line between Maharashtra's opposition to the Centre's language policy and Tamil Nadu's more hardline stance soon after Stalin urged for unity. Raut said that while Tamil Nadu rejects Hindi entirely, Maharashtra's protest is specifically against the "imposition of Hindi" as a third language in primary schools, and not the language itself. "Our fight is not against Hindi, but against forcing it in schools," the Thackeray loyalist told reporters in Mumbai. Despite being part of the opposition INDIA bloc and rooting its politics in regional identity, why has the Uddhav Sena distanced itself from Tamil Nadu's DMK? The Uddhav Sena's cautious approach appears driven by electoral dynamics and demographic compulsions that could impact Thackeray's poll prospects -- particularly in the long-pending Mumbai civic elections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo Polls over pride? With local body elections likely later this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has begun early moves to consolidate North Indian voters, especially in Mumbai, where the battle for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to intensify. The BJP is keen to dislodge the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena (UBT) from India's richest civic body. The BJP sees an opportunity to tap into a voter base that still remembers the attacks on North Indians in Mumbai at the hands of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) years ago -- incidents that continue to shape political perceptions. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, while reiterating pride in the Marathi language, also slammed those opposing Hindi, asserting that it is 'also an Indian language.' His remarks come amid the language controversy sparked by the now-rolled-back policy on Hindi being made a compulsory third language in Maharashtra schools. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region, comprising 11 municipal corporations, has a substantial Hindi-speaking population from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. It is also home to a strong and influential Gujarati voter base, especially in Mumbai and Thane. Meanwhile, in Solapur, BJP minister Girish Mahajan stoked internal rumblings within the opposition camp, claiming that many MLAs and MPs from Uddhav's Sena (UBT) were in touch with him and lacked confidence in Thackeray's leadership. 'The results of the upcoming zilla parishad, panchayat samiti, and municipal elections will show how much public trust each leader holds,' Mahajan said. No Hindi vs Marathi, says Thackeray Jr. Sensing unease among voters in Mumbai ahead of the BMC polls, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray , who happens to be Uddhav Thackeray's son, dismissed the ongoing language row in Maharashtra, saying there is no "Hindi vs Marathi in Maharashtra". Speaking a day after the state government rolled back its contentious three-language policy, Aaditya said: "This controversy exists only on biased media or social media. There is no Hindi vs Marathi in Maharashtra. The real concern was the burden of three languages on standard 1 students. Why should the third language be Hindi?"
