TVK issues strict guidelines for Vijay’s Puducherry meeting

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) general secretary Bussy Anand released detailed safety protocols for party chief Vijay’s “Puducherry State People’s Meeting” on December 9 at Uppalam Expo Ground, capping attendance at 5,000 locals only with QR code passes amid post-Karur stampede caution. Puducherry residents exclusively permitted; Tamil Nadu attendees barred to avoid congestion. Pregnant women, mothers with infants, elderly, disabled, schoolchildren excluded—urged to watch live streams. No roadshows, vehicle tailing, welcome arches, or unauthorized parking beyond designated spots like Puducherry Marina and stadium rear. Volunteers must wear ID badges/uniforms, follow traffic rules, avoid climbing structures/power poles, and ensure ambulance/public access. Post-event dispersal orderly; no provocative actions risking TVK’s image ahead of 2026 polls. Organizers to provide water, toilets, medical aid, fire engines.
