In a shocking incident this morning, a man was hacked to death inside the police residential quarters at Bheemanagar, Trichy -- an area surrounded by schools. This has raised serious concerns about public safety."
"Chief Minister M K Stalin is currently staying in Trichy. Even as he is in the city, such a gruesome murder has taken place inside a police quarters -- this shows the pathetic state of law and order in Tamil Nadu. Today, women, senior citizens, and children -- no one feels safe in this state. The Chief Minister, who is also in charge of the police department, has completely lost control over law and order. His inability to ensure safety has become a curse for Tamil Nadu," he added.
