Overview
- TVK has booked a resort near Chennai for Monday’s meeting, arranging about 50 rooms and transport so Vijay can meet each bereaved family in private.
- Party leaders say attempts to hold the condolence meeting in Karur fell through over venue refusals and law-and-order concerns flagged by police.
- Reports differ on attendance, with some relatives agreeing to travel and others objecting to being called to a resort rather than receiving a visit at home.
- TVK says public engagements have been suspended since the September 27 tragedy and will resume after the outreach, as the CBI continues its court-ordered probe.
- Following the crowd crush that killed 41 people, party insiders say future campaigning will avoid roadshows, rely on helicopter arrivals, and use large, controlled venues.
