CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on Friday presented the annual Kalpana Chawla award for courage and daring enterprise to Nagapattinam superintendent of police (SP) R Ponni, who exhibited courage in nabbing sand mafia during her stint as an assistant SP (ASP) in Chengalpet.

A 2008 batch IPS officer, Ponni intercepted 26 sand laden lorries and took on the culprits single-handedly, with the assistance of her lone driver.

After receiving the award from the chief minister during the Independence Day celebrations here, Ponni said, "I am happy that my work has been recognized. Great efforts went into to curb sand mafia in Chengalpet, booking 200 cases on a single day."

While she was the ASP in Tirupattur (Vellore), Ponni promptly responded to an alert about the movement of a stolen vehicle and intercepted it, nabbing an accused. This eventually led to the detection of a number of cases as well as recovering 70 sovereigns of jewellery.
