Stalin for stern action against police personnel over circulation of banned drugs

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has instructed the Director-General of Police to initiate stern action against police personnel, in case ganja and other banned drugs were found to be in circulation in their jurisdiction.

“No compromise whatsoever is acceptable over this,” Mr. Stalin said, while chairing a meeting held at State Institute Of Rural Development at Maraimalai Nagar, where he reviewed the law and order situation in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu and Tiruvallur districts.

Though there was an allegation that circulation of banned drugs in shops near educational institutions was not possible without the knowledge of the police personnel, Mr. Stalin said: “Though I do not believe it, I request senior officers to monitor it thoroughly.”
