The Tamil Nadu government has initiated the establishment of the 'Singappen' Special Task Force to enhance women's safety throughout the state. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay announced this decision immediately after taking office, stating that the task force would focus on prevention and protection strategies. The force will engage in visible policing, particularly in crowded areas such as bus stands, railway stations, and educational institutions, to deter unlawful activities and assist women in distress. The government order outlines the task force's responsibilities, including monitoring crime-prone locations, increasing police visibility, and coordinating with social welfare departments and NGOs to raise awareness about women's safety. A senior police officer confirmed that the formation process is underway, with administrative approval granted for new posts at the Police Headquarters. The task force will operate under the Chief Minister's direct supervision, with plans to create a new Inspector General of Police position specifically for this initiative. Discussions are ongoing regarding the potential for a distinct uniform for task force personnel and whether to recruit new members or redeploy existing officers.
