Chennai, Nov 30 (NationPress) The future of Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay's planned roadshow in Puducherry on December 5 hangs in the balance. Chief Minister N. Rangasamy has indicated that a resolution will be reached after consultations with both the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police (DGP). Previously, Vijay's public outreach was interrupted due to a devastating stampede in Karur that resulted in 41 fatalities.

When he tried to resume his campaign in Salem, the Tamil Nadu Police refused to grant permission, suggesting that requests for mass gatherings should be submitted at least a month in advance. Consequently, Vijay’s team redirected their focus toward Puducherry.

On November 26, representatives from TRK filed a petition at the Puducherry DGP’s office to seek approval for the upcoming roadshow. They also personally approached Chief Minister Rangasamy to submit their formal request. However, three days have elapsed without any response from the police.

TRK General Secretary Anand and former MLA Saminathan later visited the police headquarters in an attempt to meet the DGP, only to discover that no senior officials were available as the DGP was attending a police conference in New Delhi, with a return anticipated on December 1.

Despite the delay, rumors began to spread that permission had been denied. Nevertheless, police sources clarified that “no order has been issued on the petition so far,” dispelling any notions of a rejection.

In response to mounting media inquiries, Chief Minister Rangasamy addressed the issue, stating, “The petition submitted by Vijay’s team will be thoroughly reviewed. Following discussions with the Chief Secretary and the DGP, a decision will be reached.”

The CM highlighted that considerations for public safety, the projected crowd size, and law-and-order implications would play crucial roles in the final decision.

Vijay’s proposed roadshow is generating significant buzz, as it represents his first major political engagement in Puducherry since the inception of the Victory Party.

With the DGP expected to return to his office on December 1, an official announcement regarding permission is likely to follow in the coming days. Supporters of the actor-politician are eagerly anticipating further clarity, while the administration faces the challenge of balancing security measures with political equity as the high-profile event approaches.
