This law extends the existing police and legal framework of Chennai to the cities of Avadi and Tambaram. It applies to the police force and administration operating in these areas, giving them the same legal status as the Chennai police. The Act allows the government to authorize the police commissioners in Avadi and Tambaram to exercise the powers of District and Executive Magistrates, meaning they can handle certain legal and administrative matters directly. It also confirms that the police force already working in these cities is considered to be constituted under this new extended law.
