The overcrowding fiasco and the subsequent mismanagement by the Tamil Nadu Police at Music Wizard AR Rahman’s Marakkuma Nenjam’ concert on Sunday, September 10, 2023, at the Adityaram Palace grounds on East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai has emerged a big issue.

As per an official notification, she has as of now been placed under the ‘compulsory wait’ category at the office of the Director General of Police (DGP)/ Head of Police Force, until further orders.
The Tambaram police on Monday commenced inquiries into reports of the overcrowding at the concert and chaotic traffic on ECR.
Reportedly, the T.N. government on Tuesday, also transferred another IPS officer, Disha Mittal from the post of Joint Commissioner of Police, (Law and Order), Greater Chennai City Police and placed her too, under the ‘compulsory wait’ category.
