Analytical Notes
⚑ Analytical Note: Police welfare proposals are modest and administratively straightforward. Regular promotions and improved housing directly impact force morale and retention — a key challenge for TN Police which faces ~20% vacancy at constable level. The welfare board for retired personnel fills a significant gap.
