Vijay, the chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is scheduled to address a significant rally in Erode, Tamil Nadu. This event will coincide with Vijay’s first major public appearance since the devastating Karur incident on September 27.

- The venue has been divided into 72 sections, each capable of holding approximately 400 people.
- Four layers of barricades will be used to manage the crowd effectively and ensure safety.
