The Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry (BCTNP) has written to the Director General of Police against unauthorised searches conducted by the police at the residence and offices of lawyers in connection with alleged offences committed by their clients. BCTNP chairman P.S. Amalraj has urged DGP C. Sylendra Babu to instruct all his subordinates to follow the due process of law before conducting such searches . He also insisted upon initiating action against officials who had conducted unauthorised searches on the premises of advocate Thiyaga Kamarajan in September 2021 and advocate E. Marees Kumar recently.

On November 30, a team of officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department (WRD) and Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) conducted a joint inspection of a rainwater vent below the Chennai Bypass Road in Thiruneermalai. This marks the second time NHAI and WRD have carried out an inspection following a request being made by residents. They want NHAI to widen the vent located below the Bypass Road to facilitate rainwater drainage from ‘Nattukalvai’. The office bearers of the Federation of Welfare Associations accompanied the officials.
