Director General of Police (DGP) C. Sylendra Babu said law and order was well-maintained in the State.
“No instance of caste or communal clashes in Tamil Nadu or firing or deaths due to spurious liquor, occurred in the State. So, it is very peaceful,” he told reporters in Avadi.
Regarding the allegation of the Opposition parties on illicit liquor, he said, “Illicit liquor has been completely eradicated. However, a few groups still indulge in such acts in a few far-flung areas. Raids have been conducted continuously." He added that police arrested 20,000 accused by conducting operations under the name of Ganja vettai 1.0 and 2.0, and 200 of them were detained under the Goondas Act. Bank accounts and immovable properties were also frozen.
