Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin flagged off a newly modernized fleet of five hundred public city buses fitted with advanced surveillance systems, panic alarm buttons, and live tracking devices integrated with the central Integrated Command and Control Centre in Chennai. Stalin emphasized that ensuring absolute safety, dignity, and security for women passengers across public transportation networks remains a paramount governance commitment.

The Chief Minister explained that the newly inducted buses feature multiple high-definition security cameras covering interior sections and passenger doorways, alongside easily accessible emergency call buttons connected directly to emergency response teams and police monitoring units. He noted that in the event of distress, passengers can trigger instant alerts, allowing monitoring officers to deploy immediate enforcement assistance.

Stalin pointed out that this technology-enabled security upgrade complements the zero-fare bus travel initiative for women, making public transportation both economically accessible and physically secure. He reiterated that expanding safe mobility empowers women to pursue higher education, enter the workforce freely, and achieve economic self-reliance. Reaffirming the state government focus on human-centric urban infrastructure under the Dravidian model, Stalin expressed complete confidence that these sustained protective measures will establish Tamil Nadu public transit as a national benchmark for passenger safety.
