Tamil Nadu Withdraws RTI Exemption for Law and Order Department

The order had classified the department as an Intelligence and Security Organisation, blocking public access to information on police custody deaths, communal incidents, and political agitations. The decision followed widespread criticism from political parties, activists, and advocates, including Congress leader Karti Chidambaram.
