Chennai: The Union Home Ministry has asked Governor Arlekar to assess the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu and submit a report.
In Tamil Nadu, 13 murders took place in a single day on Diwali. In the state capital, Chennai, three people were killed just the day before yesterday. Due to a series of criminal incidents, various opposition parties, including the DMK and AIADMK, are criticizing the ruling TVK government.
In this situation, regarding the state’s law and order situation, Chief Minister Vijay held consultations with senior officials in Chennai yesterday and issued several instructions. Based on that, police are conducting searches across the state, arresting hundreds of rowdies and interrogating them.
Consultation for the second day
In this context, Chief Minister Vijay held consultations with senior police officials at the Secretariat yesterday for the second day in a row regarding law and order. Chief Secretary M. Saikumar, DGP Mahesh Kumar Agarwal, Intelligence Wing IG Asra Garg, and department officials participated in this meeting.
At that time, it is said that various issues were discussed, including the state’s current law and order situation, the status of investigations into recent criminal incidents, cases stalled due to political pressure, and next-step measures to prevent recurring crimes.
It appears that Chief Minister Vijay also instructed police officials to intensify efforts to curb drug-related activities.
Meanwhile, it is customary for the Governor to submit a monthly report to the Union Home Ministry on the state’s law and order situation. The Governor sends this report to the Central government after collecting the necessary details through the state’s DGP. In addition, the central intelligence agency also submits a separate report to the Home Ministry.
It has now been reported that the Union Home Ministry has asked Tamil Nadu Governor Arlekar to submit a detailed report on the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu.
