Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi MLA Sinthanai Selvan on Monday called for abolition of the orderly system in the police department.
Speaking during the debate for grants for the police department in the Legislative Assembly, he said hundreds of police personnel were engaged in the orderly system and appealed to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to intervene and abolish the practice.
He said there was an acute shortage of vehicles at the police stations. Since there were no vehicles, police personnel were asking petitioners coming to the station with grievances to arrange for transport.
