“Chennai is not just a metropolis; it is a living museum of culture, temples, and traditions that breathe beauty into modern life. A vast trove of history where the past merges seamlessly with the present. Citizens keen on heritage should visit the Tamil Nadu Police Museum, housed in the erstwhile Commissioner’s Office built in 1856 — a project I am proud to have been associated with,” said A. Amalraj, Greater Chennai City Police Commissioner.“From Marina’s waves to IT corridors, the city balances timeless values with cutting‑edge progress. It embraces newcomers with open arms, offering unique opportunities to grow and excel,” he said.“As Police Commissioner, my mission is to ensure peace, safety, and justice — protecting every citizen, every street, every dream. Each day brings unique challenges to the men and women in uniform, and the public’s cooperation with our new initiatives remains unparalleled. The city’s strength lies in its youth. Empowering them with awareness, discipline, and opportunity is our greatest investment. Yet, making citizens alert to new‑age crimes remains a real challenge. It is a real honour to serve this metropolis — safeguarding its legacy, nurturing its future, and celebrating its spirit,” he added.(As told to R. Sivaraman) Published - August 13, 2026 12:47 am IST
