Tamil actor Vijay's political party TVK faced a setback as Puducherry Police denied permission for his December 5 roadshow citing crowd safety concerns on narrow roads. Authorities have instead suggested holding a public meeting in an open venue, following heightened safety awareness after the tragic Karur rally stampede that claimed 41 lives in October. This decision impacts Vijay's strategic political expansion in the Union Territory.
