06/02/26, Salem of Tamilnadu/Political News

Salem: In a setback to actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) ahead of the Assembly elections, the Salem City Police have rejected the party's petition seeking permission to hold a “Vijay Makkal Iyakkam” campaign meeting in the city.

The police cited non-compliance with the Tamil Nadu government's official guidelines for organizing public gatherings as the reason for the denial.

The rejection: Failure to follow protocol on crowd size and advance notice

The TVK's Central District Secretary, Tamilan Parthiban, along with other functionaries, had applied for permission to use the Thalamuthu Natarajan ground in Seelanaickenpatti for the public meeting. However, after inspecting the venue, the police returned the petition. Salem City Police Commissioner Anil Kumar Giri clarified that the application did not adhere to mandated protocols, such as applying 10 days in advance for an expected crowd of 5,000 and providing detailed arrangements if more attendees were anticipated.

He also emphasized the need for a Public Works Department certification on the venue's suitability for large gatherings.

With the petition officially rejected and returned, the planned campaign event in Salem is now expected to be delayed. The party will need to resubmit a fresh application in full compliance with the state's guidelines to secure permission for a future date.
