Vigilance director, CBCID ADGP, Nellai commissioner, Trichi range AIG positions are the key unfilled positions to name a few.

Exposing the grave administrative paralysis crippling the state's security apparatus, DMK Treasurer M. K. Stalin on March 17, 2014, revealed that several key top-level law enforcement positions across Tamil Nadu had been left deliberately vacant by the AIADMK government. Stalin pointed out that vital constitutional posts—including the Director of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC), Additional Director General of Police (CBCID), Tirunelveli City Police Commissioner, and the Assistant Inspector General for the Tiruchirappalli Range—had remained unmanned for extended periods. He emphasized that by keeping senior oversight and anti-corruption posts vacant, Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa sought to suppress investigative independence, shield corrupt ministers from scrutiny, and paralyze institutional checks and balances. This deliberate bureaucratic sabotage had severely compromised operational morale, delayed major criminal investigations, and led to a total breakdown of law and order across both urban centers and rural districts. Stalin contrasted this manipulative neglect with the professional, rule-of-law administration maintained under Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi, which ensured swift, merit-based appointments. He demanded the immediate posting of capable officers, affirming that the DMK will restore institutional independence and administrative integrity. He affirmed that merit-based institutional leadership is vital for safeguarding law and order.
