The Story in Brief
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will hoist the national flag at Fort St George in Chennai at 8.45 am on Saturday for the 80th Independence Day celebrations. It will be his first such event since taking office, and he will deliver an address and present awards, including police medals.
The customary tea party at Lok Bhavan will not be held as Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, who holds additional charge of Tamil Nadu, will be at Thiruvananthapuram. Fifteen police medals have been announced, with eight of the 10 medals for excellence in investigation going to women officers. Recipients will get a gold medal and Rs 25,000 each.
The Indian Opinion
Much of the attention will be on the film-star-turned-CM's style, but the real test is substance. The Governor's absence and the cancellation of the tea party have already invited whispers of protocol breaches. What matters is whether the administration uses the day to address pressing issues like law and order or industrial investment. Watch for the length and content of his address: will it be performance or policy?
