The TVK, it has been learnt, has accepted the conditions.

According to the police order, the campaign is scheduled between 10.35 am and 11.00 am, with all participants required to reach the venue by 9.35 am owing to the "heavy pedestrian and commercial activity" in the locality.

Vijay, who is TVK president, is scheduled to arrive by road from Chennai, entering Tiruchy via the TVS Tollgate, proceeding through the head post office roundabout, Melapudur, Palakkarai roundabout, before reaching the MGR statue at Marakkadai. The police have explicitly barred any roadshow or reception en route.
