Former Director General of Police (DGP) Shankar Jiwal (Retd. IPS:1990:TN) resigned as Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Fire Commission. Jiwal was the first chairman of the Commission. Along with him, three members of the Commission—Vikraman, Sathyamurthy and Namachivayam—also submitted their resignations.
