- Chief Minister V.D.

- Satheesan reiterated that government pleaders are chosen on merit and after consultation with the Advocate General and that the government will not act under pressure from student or political groups over a contested appointment of a former SFI leader.
- The Cabinet approved the 'Siddharth Distress App' to let students confidentially report ragging and seek rapid intervention, a measure named for the Wayanad ragging victim that aims to strengthen campus safety and complaint handling.
