Vijay's supporters delay debut rally by 5 hrs, bring city to halt
The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 14, 2025
A nearly five-hour delay in TVK leader Vijay's campaign launched at Marakkadai on Saturday caused massive traffic congestion across Tiruchy city, severely disrupting routine life for thousands.
The situation, largely attributed to police lapses in traffic and crowd management, sparked widespread frustration among commuters, emergency service providers, and local businesses.
Tiruchy City Police had granted permission for the campaign with 23 strict conditions, including limiting the event to just 30 minutes between 10.30 am and 11 am. Accordingly, Vijay arrived in Tiruchy by a charter flight and only boarded his campaign vehicle from the airport at 10 am.
