CM Vijay chairs first law and order review

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph C Vijay chaired a review meeting with top officials on Sunday to take stock of the law-and-order situation in the State.

This was Vijay’s first review meeting after assuming office as CM.

Although TVK on its own did not secure the majority in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, Vijay managed to get support from the Congress, VCK, CPI, CPI (M) and IUML to gather 120 MLAs and cross the 118-majority mark to form the Government.

According to a press release, a comprehensive assessment of the law-and-order situation in Tamil Nadu was carried out during the meeting.

Vijay also discussed measures to enhance women’s safety, as well as strategies to prevent drug-related crimes and take stringent action against offenders.

He further stated that continuous and comprehensive reviews of the law-and-order situation would be conducted.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary M Saikumar, Additional Chief Secretary (Home, Prohibition and Excise Department) K Manivasan, and Director General of Police Sandeep Rai Rathore.
