CHENNAI: A two-day Legislators’ Leadership Programme (LLP) for 30 MLAs from the state Assembly commenced at Mamallapuram on Tuesday. The programme, launched at the initiative of Speaker JCD Prabhakar, aims to strengthen legislators’ leadership skills and enhance their effectiveness as elected representatives.
