New Delhi: TVK chief and actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to address a public meeting in Puducherry on December 9, marking his first major appearance since the Karur rally tragedy that claimed over 40 lives in a stampede. Vijay will use the same campaign vehicle that was deployed during the Karur event, a rally that turned disastrous and left 41 people dead.

For tomorrow’s event, the Puducherry administration has permitted only 5000 people at the venue. Entry will be strictly allowed only to those carrying the QR-coded passes issued for the meeting, and organisers have been instructed not to exceed the approved limit. Preparations are underway, and officials have installed at least 50 CCTV cameras across the ground to prevent any possibility of another accident.
