TVK seeks nod to hold rally in Salem

Salem (Tamil Nadu), Nov 20 (PTI) Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam on Thursday petitioned the police seeking permission for its chief, actor-politician Vijay, to lead a rally here next month.

The party's office-bearers have submitted a petition seeking permission for holding a rally on December 4, police sources said, adding the TVK has mentioned three sites, including Bose Maidanam and Kottai grounds, for conducting the event.

They have been asked to furnish fresh dates for consideration as there are practical issues in acceding to their request, sources added.

This is the first time, the TVK has approached authorities seeking permission for a rally/public meeting after the September 27 stampede at Karur. PTI VGN VGN KH
