CHENNAI: Actor-turned-politician Vijay, leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is set to intensify his election campaign with a major public outreach programme in Karaikudi on Friday.
The visit is part of his ongoing statewide campaign ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, where he has been actively engaging with voters across key constituencies.
During his visit, Vijay will campaign in support of his party candidates contesting in four constituencies -- Karaikudi, Manamadurai, Sivaganga, and Tirupathur.
In Karaikudi, he will specifically canvass votes for party candidate Dr D.K. Prabhu, with party leaders expressing confidence that the event will draw significant public attention.
Party sources said that permission has been sought to conduct a public meeting near the Thevar statue in Karaikudi between noon and 4 p.m. In preparation for the event, officials from the Election Commission and the police department convened a coordination meeting to review arrangements and ensure compliance with election guidelines. Subsequently, a team of officials led by District Superintendent of Police Shivaprasad and Karaikudi Assistant Superintendent of Police Ashish Puniya conducted an on-site inspection of the proposed venue.
The team assessed security requirements, crowd management strategies, and logistical arrangements to ensure the smooth conduct of the programme.
