Chennai: For the second consecutive day, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay had a discussion with the top cops of the State, including the DGP and IG Intelligence, sending cautionary messages through the police department that is facing criticism over its failure to curb crimes that have been burgeoning of late.
The convening of the urgent meeting to review the law and order situation was attributed to a report from the Union Home Ministry that is said to have sought a status report from the State Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on the law and order framework in the State.
Following the meeting of the Chief Minister with top honchos of the police department on Tuesday when instructions were given to crackdown on criminals, the police have already intensified their operations in identifying and taking into custody rowdies.
Those rowdies found to have just entered the criminal world were said to be warned of dire consequences if they continued with the criminal ways and asked to move out, it is learnt. Also the police have started classifying the criminal world by tightening the noose around those involved in heinous crimes and lording over gangs.
Intelligence IG Asra Garg was part of the proceedings as the department’s intention was to get to the bottom of the issue and identify even those operating from behind the scenes and plotting crimes.
The sudden surge in crimes across the State during Deepavali had caused embarrassment to the Government with the opposition parties raising up in arms and hence the intense crackdown is aimed at bringing down the crime rate at all levels.Chennai, Nov 11:
