Director General of Police Shankar Jiwal: A city that became home

Having served in Chennai as a career Police Officer, I have a distinct appreciation for the city, this is aA feeling that has respectfully grown over years.  I was in close quarters when it came to participation in the day-to-day affairs of the City, primarily as Commissioner of Police. The resilience of the city and its citizens, especially during Covid-19 days, amazed me.

The city can surely boast of a safe environment from a public order point of view; It is also being adjudged so, repeatedly, in fact, by National Crime Records Bureau(NCRB) and other independent surveys. Chennaites always are peace-loving and law-abiding people.

The fact that I love Chennai needs no other explanation: Though my origins are not from this State, as I retire this month, we, my family and I, have decided to call Chennai our home and settle here.
