Coimbatore: All steps would be taken to successfully conduct the 2021 assembly election in the west zone, said R Dhinakaran, a 1988-batch IPS officer who took charge as the inspector general of police (IGP) on Wednesday.
He has a four-point agenda, the officer told reporters. “I shall solve public grievances at the earliest, check illegal activities, take strict action against anti-social elements and ensure smooth conduct of assembly election in the eight districts under the west zone,” he said “Cops are on alert and are conducting vehicle checks to prevent untoward incidents ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Coimbatore on Thursday.”
