“I will not make any compromise on matters related to maintenance of law and order. I believe that all of you would have realised it. In particular, the government will never allow crimes against women and children, economic offences, drug and narcotics related offences.”
The CM directed the officials to take quick action against anyone who disturbed communal harmony. To ensure societal peace, police department is already taking precautionary steps to prevent caste conflicts in vulnerable areas, he noted. After taking charge in May 2021 as CM, Stalin said he had asserted that action would be taken against anyone who went against law.
The Chief Minister said he has put his words into action and urged officials to continue it. Stalin urged the officers to work realising that the evaluation of the government hinged on the maintenance of law and order.
He advised district collectors and the police superintendents on several aspects like conduct of monthly meetings on law and order and creation of district-wise ‘Dash Board’ as part of measures to evaluate if decisions taken were being implemented properly.
The efforts aimed at preventing law and order issues and crimes would be very useful to the people, he added.
