The Tamil Nadu Police, on Saturday, have refused the permission for a series of campaign rallies planned by AIADMK General Secretary and former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) in the Namakkal district, citing public safety concerns and a Madras High Court directive against holding political meetings on national highways.
Palaniswami had planned an intensive campaign across multiple constituencies in Namakkal on Sunday (October 5) and Monday (October 6).
His first set of meetings was scheduled for Sunday evening -- near the Anna statue in Tiruchengode Assembly constituency and later near a theatre at Olapalayam in Kumarapalayam constituency.
On Monday, Palaniswami will address gatherings near the Old Bus Stand in Namak
