Vijay's Puducherry Rally: Locals Only, 5K Cap After Karur Stampede

• Vijay's TVK received approval for its first rally in Puducherry after the Karur stampede.
• Puducherry police issued an advisory restricting entry to 5,000 local residents only, with no children, pregnant women, or elderly permitted.
• Attendees must possess a valid QR code pass and enter the Expo ground before 12:30 pm on Tuesday.
• Organizers are required to provide essential facilities including drinking water, toilets, ambulances, and first aid.
• The rally follows the September 27 Karur stampede, which killed 41 people and was attributed to TVK's "reckless" actions by the Tamil Nadu government.
