The appointment of DGP is more important for Tamil Nadu as the state would witness the Assembly polls under his supervision. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled for April–May 2026. This appointment is also significant, given the vital role the DGP plays in maintaining law and order, overseeing Police administration, and implementing key security measures in the state. The fixed tenure of two years, as per the Supreme Court’s order, aims to provide continuity and strengthen Police leadership in the state.
