General Key Note Address by Chairman ADG Police, Tamilnadu for the PSAR ACT Dear Friends We are passing through an auspicious and crucial month of the year. Auspicious because of the festivals following in this month and crucial because of various activities by the unsocial elements which are attracting the focus and concentration of our Law Enforcing Agencies to maintain peace in the Country. Today, common citizen carries an element of fear while visiting the crowded markets for purchases associated with the festivals for his family. Even the religious places have become targets for the unsocial elements to create panic and horror in the minds of citizens. I shall like to urge my security professionals to please offer maximum cooperation and support to the local Law Enforcement Agencies, responsible for maintaining law and order in their respective areas of operations. I am sure that all my security professional would have already taken adequate measures of supervising the deployment of their Security Forces at various locations, with the basic aim of providing the comfort level to their clients/end users. I wish all of you safe and secure activities connected with the various festivals, falling in the month of October. Hope to meet most of you in person during the 3rd National Conference at Bengaluru.
