From Slum Lanes to a National Vision: Mangan Thomas Rijoy Introduces Desiya Suraksha Party
Chennai, India | October 8, 2026
Desiya Suraksha Party emerges from five years of grassroots work through the Secure Our City campaign, with a focus on safety, housing, education and healthcare.
“Why should a woman feel unsafe in her own street?” This question became the starting point of Secure Our City, a community safety campaign initiated by Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR), President of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP)
According to the campaign's account, the initiative began in Chennai five years ago with a commitment to provide 10,000 free CCTV cameras in selected Indian cities. Working without NGO backing, corporate funding or political support, the campaign reports that it has helped secure 5,000 houses in Chennai's slum communities.
However, years of working closely with residents led MTR to reconsider what safety means for families facing economic hardship.
Living and interacting with communities helped bring wider challenges into focus, including inadequate housing, access to food, healthcare, clothing and education. The experience shaped a broader vision that extends beyond surveillance and neighbourhood security
“A camera cannot secure a hungry stomach. A camera cannot secure a homeless family,” MTR said, describing the thinking behind the next phase of his work
This experience eventually led to the formation of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP), a political initiative intended, according to its stated mission, to raise questions about public accountability, resource distribution and the living conditions of ordinary citizens.
 
Desiya Suraksha Party's Key Prioritie
DSP has outlined five principal commitments in its proposed social agenda
Housing for every family: A minimum 500-square-foot home for every Indian family.
Dignity and basic necessities: Access to good-quality clothing and essential living conditions.
Free education and healthcare: Education and medical services at international standards, provided free of charge.
A future for every child: A home, family environment and future for children without parental care, with the state acting as guardian where necessary.
Safety for women and children: Recognition of personal safety as a fundamental right rather than merely a government scheme.
These commitments represent the party's stated policy vision. Their implementation would require detailed plans covering funding, administration, eligibility and delivery.
 
A Campaign with a Wider Purpose
The Secure Our City initiative was originally intended to establish a community safety model that could later expand through SecureCam India and potential corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding.
DSP now says the campaign will continue alongside its broader social agenda. Following its first Maanadu, scheduled for December 10, 2026, in Chennai, the party plans to expand the initiative across India.
The campaign also proposes security audits for homes and buildings, with a minimum security guarantee. Further details on implementation and coverage are expected to clarify how this proposal would operate.
 
Beginning in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
 
DSP has identified Tamil Nadu and Kerala as the starting points for its next phase. MTR has invited people interested in community safety and social welfare to learn about the party and its stated objectives.
The party's central message is that public safety involves more than preventing crime. It also encompasses access to shelter, healthcare, education and dignified living conditions.
As DSP prepares for its December gathering, the transition from a neighbourhood CCTV campaign to a broader political platform marks a new stage in MTR's stated public-service journey.
