Overview
- Puducherry police authorized only a controlled public meeting on December 9 with QR-code entry, a 5,000-person limit, and no roadshow.
- The advisory requested that children, pregnant women, elderly people, parents with infants and differently abled persons not attend, and urged Tamil Nadu residents to stay away.
- Organisers were directed to provide drinking water, toilets, ambulances, first-aid teams, fire engines and proper enclosures, with vehicle parking limited to designated areas.
- In Erode, police deemed an initial seven-acre site inadequate for crowd and parking, after which TVK withdrew the request and submitted fresh petitions for a larger venue near Perundurai.
- The new Erode filing proposes a 16-acre Moongilpalayam site with extra parking and estimates 30,000 attendees, while Puducherry preparations include CCTV coverage and guidance not to follow Vijay’s vehicle.
