Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay wasted little time in taking over the state’s top job. The actor turned politician made a number of important choices about welfare, law and order, women’s safety, and public health just hours after being sworn in. His first day in office showed that the new government wants to show right away that it is strong and cares about people.
Vijay’s rise to power has already caused a historic change in Tamil Nadu’s politics, ending decades of DMK and AIADMK rule. All eyes are now on how quickly he can keep the promises he made during the race. On Day 1, the new Chief Minister announced a number of moves that made headlines and caused a lot of debate across the state.
There will be 200 units of free electricity
One of Vijay’s most important first day promises was that 200 units of free power would be given to homes that qualified. The move was one of the most important statements made during the election campaign. It should help middle class and low income families who are having a hard time with rising costs of living.
It was one of the first things the Chief Minister signed after taking the oath of office. The government sold the plan as a straight benefit that would help regular families with their money problems. Some people who follow politics think that the news was meant to show right away that the new government plans to keep its promises.
People all over Tamil Nadu are already talking a lot about the free power plan, especially families who are having a hard time paying their rising utility bills. People who support the new government think that this is an example of Vijay’s efforts to make the government focus on benefits from the start.

A special task force against drugs was created
A special task group to fight drugs was also created on the first day, which was another important move. During his campaign, Vijay talked a lot about how drugs are hurting young people and how bad the problem is getting.
The new task force’s main goals will be to break up drug networks and make it easier for law enforcement agents to work together. The government has said that units at the district level will also be more closely watching for illegal drug activities.
The move was made as drug related crimes are becoming more of a problem in different parts of Tamil Nadu. Reports say that the Chief Minister told officials to make the problem a top priority and make sure that people who sell drugs are punished more harshly.
Political experts say that Vijay’s anti drug campaign could become one of the most important problems in his government. This is especially true since youth aid was a big part of his election campaign.
Women’s safety is given immediate attention
The safety of women became another top concern for the new Chief Minister. Vijay gave his approval for the creation of a task group whose only job will be to look into crimes against women and make the whole state safer.
The project, which is said to be called “Singappen Athiradi Padai,” aims to improve crime prevention, emergency reaction, and tracking tools for crimes against women. During his public talks, Vijay kept talking about how important it was to make public places better and give women more support.
People who support the government think that taking this early action shows that the Chief Minister’s office will pay direct attention to problems of law and order. Women’s groups and social workers also liked the news, saying that the most important thing now is to make sure it is carried out better.
To make sure women are better protected, the government is likely to set up tighter tracking systems and faster reaction systems in both cities and rural areas.

717 TASMAC liquor stores were told to close
Vijay’s order to close down 717 TASMAC booze stores near schools, colleges, churches, bus stops, and other sensitive public places was one of the most talked about things he said in his first days in office.
The Chief Minister told officials that these stores had to close within two weeks because they broke the 500 meter distance rule in many places. Many neighbours and social groups were happy with the decision. They had been calling for tighter rules on selling alcohol near schools and churches for a long time.
Liquor control has been a very touchy topic in Tamil Nadu politics for a long time, so this move is also seen as highly important. A lot of people think that Vijay’s choice could help him build his reputation as a leader who cares about public health and social welfare.
Concerns have been made by families living near these booze stores about noise, safety, and the effects on children. A lot of people are interested in the issue as the government acted quickly on it.
