CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin reinducted senior DMK leader and Padmanabhapuram MLA T Mano Thangaraj into his Cabinet on Monday, following a reshuffle triggered by the resignations of Ministers V Senthilbalaji and K Ponmudy.
The swearing-in ceremony, held at Raj Bhavan, saw Governor RN Ravi administering the oath of office to Mano Thangaraj in the presence of CM Stalin and other ministers and senior officials.
Mano Thangaraj, who previously held the Milk and Dairy Development portfolio, will continue overseeing the department. He was removed from the Cabinet in September 2024.
The reassignment of the Dairy Department to Mano Thangaraj comes after Minister RS Rajakannappan, who had managed the department during his absence, was given a new portfolio, Forests and Khadi.
