Chennai, Nov 12:
Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra vishwanath Arlekar will depart for New Delhi on Friday morning and is scheduled to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the evening to brief him on the prevailing law and order situation in the state.
The high-level meeting comes amid escalating political criticism over violent crimes—including 11 murders reported across Tamil Nadu within a 24-hour span on Deepavali day, among them a Special Sub-Inspector—as well as controversies involving ruling party legislators. Sources indicated that the Union Home Ministry had recently sought a detailed report from the Governor on the state’s security scenario, prompting Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to hold back-to-back review meetings at the Secretariat with Director General of Police Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal and Intelligence IG Asra Garg over the past two days.
Following his meeting with the Union Home Minister in the national capital, the Governor will travel to Jammu and Kashmir to attend an official engagement before returning to Chennai on Sunday, November 15.
