Tiruchy Deputy Commissioner’s ‘proud talk’ works with protesters

Student members reciprocated the soft approach of the cops in Tiruchy by meeting the City Commissioner of Police A Arun in person and conveying their thanks. They told the Commissioner that it was the friendly pep-talk of the Deputy Commissioner (Law and Order) A Myilvaganan’s convinced them to quit the protest and disperse from the spot without any trouble on Monday. 

The youth were also all praise for the restraint showed by the DCP while handling and clearing a group that barged into the district court complex on Monday. Earlier on Monday, Myilvaganan told the protesting youth that the police had been always their friend and those who want to continue with the friendship can move away. 

“Otherwise, the name you (youth) earned through the protest and the success will no longer be sweet but a stain on the city,” he said and added that police had been concerned about the youth as the officers too stood with them day and night in rain and shine. 

“We shared food and goodwill, I wish that it should continue,” the DCP told them. He explained to us that some anti-social elements have planned to exploit their emotions. “You did a great thing. All of you have taught a great lesson to the whole country. I salute your intentions. Those who have real Tamil spirit and the love for the city will accept my appeal and clear from this place,” said Myilvaganan and left the place only watch from a distance protesters leaving the venue. 

While exiting the protesters greeted the DCP and thanked him. Some even broke down before him. As the wont of the youth, they never missed the opportunity to click a selfie with him.
