Jayalalithaa breaks it down in numbers, says state didn't have enough police
"There are regular duties of the police...Assuming we had permitted the release of the film in 524 theatres the available police force to provide protection is around 9000. Is this adequate? It is not," the Chief Minister said.
The manpower required for 524 theatres was around 31,000 police personnel, she said.
"In sensitive areas at least 10 pickets would have been needed," she said.
We would have needed 56,000 police personnel for the guarding of theatres, Jayalalithaa said.
"I would like you to understand what is the meaning of maintaining law and order. It doesn't mean allowing a situation to turn violent and then stepping in to restore peace," she said.

Manish Tewari says he will form a panel to look into changes in the Cinematograph Act
The Information and Broadcasting Minister said that if states are to raise concerns about films cleared by the Censor Board then there was perhaps a need to re-visit the Cinematograph Act.
"There are certain issues that have come up as a result of decisions taken by state governments. I have suggested to the secretary (I&B) to go into it in a holistic manner," Tewari said.
