Chennai: Holding a high-level review meeting with the top ranking officers and police honchos in the State at the Secretariat on Tuesday, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay urged the police department to crack the whip on wrongdoers to prevent crimes in the backdrop of growing criticism over the deterioration of law and order in the State.
The 20-minute at the Secretariat was attended by Chief Secretary Sai Kumar, Home Secretary Karthik, DGP Mahesh Kumar Agarwal, Law and Order ADGP T S Anbu, Intelligence IG Asra Garg and Chennai Police Commissioner A Amalraj.
Leaders of the opposition parties, particularly the DMK and AIADMK, had been critical of the TVK government for the spate of murders on Deepavali day all over the State and had been raising concerns over the increasing Law and Order crisis.
The ruling TVK, too, is keen on maintaining law and order in the State and cracking down on criminals and hence the meeting was called to address the burning issue that was causing a headache to the government.
