இந்தியா முழுமைக்குமான ஏப்ரல் மாதத்திற்கான பணவீக்கத்தின் தேசிய சராசரி விகிதமானது 6.2 விழுக்காட்டிலிருந்து 7.79 விழுக்காடாக உயர்ந்துள்ளது. (1/3)...

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin drew attention to official macroeconomic indicators showing India nationwide retail inflation jumping sharply from 6.2 percent to 7.79 percent for the month of April. Stalin noted that this steep national escalation in consumer price indices reflects widespread cost pressures on essential goods, fuel, and daily food commodities across the country.

The Chief Minister pointed out that soaring inflation severely erodes household purchasing power, disproportionately impacting working-class citizens, unorganized laborers, and fixed-income pensioners across all states. He observed that unchecked price escalation in primary inputs and everyday provisions requires systematic policy intervention and transparent fiscal measures from central authorities to mitigate mounting public distress.

Stalin highlighted the contrast between the rising national average and Tamil Nadu disciplined containment of retail prices through state-level welfare programs, public distribution systems, and targeted consumer subsidies. He affirmed that responsive governance requires anticipating economic challenges and deploying timely administrative measures to stabilize domestic markets. Reaffirming his administration dedication to social security, Stalin declared that Tamil Nadu will continue prioritizing economic safeguards to shield vulnerable citizens against broader national inflationary turbulence.
