On 21 September 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Tambaram Police to Tambaram City Police. The result of the discussion was moved.

City of Tambaram

I notice the contention on whether Tambaram is a City within Chennai Metropolitan Area or suburban area of Chennai City. City or suburban is a legal and administrative definition. Your personal views and opinions contrary to that are your own opinions, that do not constitute a fact.

Please refer to Please refer to Section 1 of the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation Act, 2022. The Sub-section of Section 1 of the Act states the following:

(1) This Act may be called the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation Act, 2022.

(2) It extends to the city of Tambaram.

(3) It shall be deemed to have come into force on the 3rd day of November 2021.

Please note that the "It extends to the city of Tambaram." is used in the same way Central Acts use, "It extends to the whole of India" and State Acts use, "It extends to the whole of the State of Tamil Nadu."

While the City of Tambaram, along with the principal city of Chennai and other surrounding areas are part of the Chennai Metropolitan Area, Chennai Metropolitan Area is an area for planning purposes as used by Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, it does not constitute a jurisdiction or administrative division. In fact, a Metropolitan area usually comprises multiple principal cities, jurisdictions and municipalities: neighbourhoods, townships, boroughs, cities, towns, exurbs, suburbs, counties, districts and even states and nations in areas like the euro-districts.

In other words, Tambaram is a City within Chennai Metropolitan Area, it is not a suburban of Chennai as per the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation Act, 2022. I would like to highlight, that Tambaram is governed Tambaram City Municipal Corporation, which is a Local government in India with duly elected Councillors.

Tambaram Police → Tambaram City Police – The concerned agency uses the "Tambaram City Police," in their logo and official social media account. I do not think the WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAME prohibit the proposed change. The official name is Tambaram Police Commissionerate and Tambaram Police is colloquially and commonly used to refer to the police station within the former Tambaram Municipality.

This page discusses the newly created Police Agency for the whole of the newly established City of Tambaram, which annexed five other municipalities and five town panchayats. It is quite possible the agency is using the term "Tambaram City Police" because "Tambaram Police" has a strong association with an old and well-known police station, rather than the whole newly established agency.
