The Indian Central Government allocated substantial financial aid to Kerala at the end of May 2024, allowing the state to borrow up to Rs 21,253 crores until December 2024 to address its economic challenges. Kerala has faced severe economic issues, including delayed salaries for state employees and stalled infrastructure projects. The funds are intended to stabilize the economy by ensuring timely payment of salaries and pensions, completing essential infrastructure projects, and enhancing coastal security. This support aims to significantly improve Kerala's economic stability and growth. The state has struggled with economic difficulties since 2017-2018, exacerbated by reliance on remittances, significant flood damage in 2018, high unemployment, and financial stress from welfare spending.

New Election Commissioners 2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-powered selection committee that appointed Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu as the new Election Commissioners of India on March 14, 2024. The appointments filled vacancies left by the retirement of Anup Chandra Pandey and the resignation of Arun Goel. However, the selection process faced criticism, with Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury questioning the criteria used for shortlisting candidates. The absence of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the selection panel also drew scrutiny, as it deviated from a Supreme Court ruling that included the CJI in such panels until a specific law was enacted. Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu bring extensive experience from their careers in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) to their roles as Election Commissioners.
