The TN government had decided to give 1.2 lakh BSNL SIM cards to the police department from constable to DGP and ministerial staff along with an offer from the BSNL that each of the­m can avail 7 additional fa­mily CUG cards on personal payment of yearly re­ntal charges of Rs 64 per SIM, which he or she can give to family members, taking the total nu­mber of SIMs to a possible 9.6 lakh. 

Senior police and government officials claim that BSNL has offered competitive rates and features which add to its ot­her inherent advanta­ges of being a public sector entity with coverage in the remotest of areas. All ranks of the department from director general of police to constable including ministerial staff will be covered thr­ough the scheme.
