Puducherry Police Deny Nod For Vijay's Roadshow After Karur Tragedy

A fresh political flashpoint has erupted in Tamil Nadu after Puducherry Police denied permission for TVK chief Vijay's December 5 roadshow. Citing the Karur tragedy-where 41 people died in a crowd crush-the police said the Union Territory's narrow roads cannot safely accommodate large gatherings. They advised Vijay to instead hold the event in an open ground with full compliance to safety regulations, leaving uncertainty over the planned roadshow.
