Tamil Nadu’s DGP-designate C Sylendra Babu
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu’s DGP-designate C Sylendra Babu will win popularity contest hands down among police personnel and campuses across the state. Such is his stature, every time he attends police and non-police events, his entry triggers an audience-applause that takes a full two minutes to subside.
Devoted to fitness, Babu is an in-demand motivational speaker who has penned more than a dozen books on how to crack the civil services examination and how to stay fit. At book fairs, the stalls selling his books see footfalls equalling superstar-authors. His marathon cycling – a few weeks ago he pedalled from Chennai to Kanyakumari – and running have a big following among enthusiasts, activists and those aspiring to embrace a career in police.
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.”
