Replying to MLA M Sinthanai Selvan's questions during the Assembly session, Stalin also said that views on discrepancies in police salary structures have been collected and are under government review. On promotion issues, he clarified that promotions are decided by the respective district and city police heads, and that there is no provision for state-wide promotions based solely on state seniority. Responding to MLA Vanathi Srinivasan, Stalin said the murder of auditor Ramesh had occurred during the previous AIADMK government's tenure and that the case was still pending. Assuring that Tamil Nadu would never face 'Kashmir-like incidents', he urged the Union government to release funds without imposing conditions like mandatory implementation of a three-language policy. He also sought Vanathi Srinivasan's support for the state's developmental and educational initiatives. Countering Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami's allegations on the law and order situation, Stalin said Tamil Nadu has recorded reduced crime rates, zero custodial deaths since 2022, massive drug seizures, swift delivery of justice, expanded CCTV surveillance, and large-scale police recruitment under the DMK regime.

MLA urges Railways Ministry to ramp up infrastructure, train connectivity at Coimbatore Junction to sustain growth
Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan has made a representation to the Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to ramp up infrastructure and train connectivity at Coimbatore Junction factoring in its third ranking by Southern Railway in terms of revenue generation. Just two pit lines are inadequate for Coimbatore Junction; it requires the infrastructure and train connectivity to sustain the growth, the MLA said, making a case for developing two more stations - Coimbatore North and Podanur - with the required infrastructure and connectivity. Ms. Vanathi also urged the Minister to prevail upon the Railway Board to approve the proposal for extension of (56801) Mayiladuthurai-Thanjavur train up to Coimbatore via Palani, Pollachi and Kinathukadavu. Extension of train no. 56113 Coimbatore-Pollachi Express service up to Madurai will facilitate connectivity for passengers, the MLA said in her representation. At Coimbatore North Railway Station, which is redeveloped under Amrit Bharat Scheme, there is an urgent need to build two island platforms with train maintenance facilities. Shifting of Goods Shed from this station to a suitable space readily available with Railways at Irugur will be purposeful.
