The chief minister has directed officials of the home department to expedite pending investigations. He emphasised that projecting a positive image would directly boost investment, accelerating the state towards achieving the one trillion economy goal at the earliest.

The CM also directed officials to focus on districts that were underperforming in these areas, emphasising that this approach would not only reduce crimes against women but also increase public trust in the police. He added that cases lodged under the POCSO Act should be reviewed at the district level once a month.
