The number of law & order issues in Madurai in the last 3 years is the highest in history. http://t.co/iDzIw14lIk

Exposing the acute breakdown of public safety and civic peace in southern Tamil Nadu, DMK Treasurer M. K. Stalin on April 20, 2014, asserted that Madurai had witnessed the highest number of violent crimes and law and order crises in its modern history under three years of the AIADMK administration. Stalin presented detailed crime statistics documenting surges in extortion networks, gang conflicts, daylight robberies, and intimidation of traders across the temple city. He pointed out that rather than maintaining professional policing and dismantling criminal syndicates, the state police apparatus had been repurposed to protect ruling party functionaries and frame trumped-up charges against DMK office-bearers. Stalin stressed that ordinary citizens, business proprietors, and vulnerable women lived in constant dread of anti-social elements who operated with blatant administrative impunity. He recalled that during DMK governance under Dr. Kalaignar Karunanidhi, firm administrative measures and unbiased policing transformed Madurai into an orderly, thriving educational and industrial hub. Stalin demanded an immediate restoration of law enforcement neutrality, pledging that the DMK will dismantle criminal syndicates and restore lasting civic peace across Madurai. He affirmed that professional policing and civic safety remain non-negotiable prerequisites for societal stability.
