Tamil Nadu Police Launch Internal Vigilance Cells with WhatsApp Complaint NumbersPreviousNext

The Tamil Nadu police have established Internal Vigilance Cells across all districts and commissionerates to enhance transparency and curb corruption within the force. These cells allow citizens to report misconduct, abuse of authority, or unethical behavior by police personnel via designated WhatsApp numbers specific to each district or city, such as Tirunelveli. The police assure confidentiality and protection against retaliation for complainants, with senior officers overseeing the cells' functioning to ensure timely and impartial handling of complaints.
