REFUGEE

CHENNAI: Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman will soon compose a theme song for the Tamil Nadu Police as part of its 150-year celebrations.
Rahman, who is currently abroad, is expected to begin work on this project once he returns home.
The Tamil Nadu police had reportedly approached the musician to compose music for a documentary on Tamil Nadu Police much before he won his Academy Awards. After winning the awards, Rahman had opted out of the project because of time constraints, but has committed to compose the Tamil Nadu Police’s theme song, a senior police source said.
The documentary about the Tamil Nadu Police, however, will be released on November 30 by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, at the inauguration of the national seminar on Road Safety and Urban Traffic Management.
The two-day seminar has been organised by the Tamil Nadu Police from November 30, as part of its sesquicentennial celebrations.
An exhibition of various equipment used for road safety and traffic management is also being organised. During the valedictory function of the seminar, a coffee-table book chronicling the 150 years of the Tamil Nadu Police, ‘The Pioneer Peacekeepers’ will be released by Governor Surjit Singh Barnala.
