Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Inland Waterways Authority, called on Chief Minister N. Rangasamy during a visit to the city on Thursday (July 24, 2025).

An official press note described the visit to the Chief Minister’s office as a courtesy call. Chief Secretary Sharat Chauhan, A. Vikranth Raja, Industries Secretary and A. Kulothungan, District Collector were present.

Earlier, Mr. Vijay Kumar, who is also a key member of the taskforce set up by the Government of India on Deregulation and Compliance Burden Reduction, held discussions with Department Secretaries, Heads of Departments and representatives of the Federation of Industrial and Trade Unions on Deregulation.

The focus of the taskforce is to design a reforms package that would lighten government regulation through digitising proposals and expediting single-window clearances or doing away with superfluous approval processes.

Mr. Vijay Kumar later undertook a visit to Auroville.
