Vellore, February 23: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) President Vijay will address the party cadre meeting in Vellore district on Monday, with elaborate arrangements and strict security protocols put in place to ensure a smooth and safe event. The meeting is scheduled to be held from noon to 3 p.m. at Kollamangalam in Vellore district. According to party sources, around 4,900 executive members have been granted permission to attend the meeting. Entry has been restricted strictly to those holding special admission tickets embedded with QR codes. Party functionaries said the QR code system has been introduced to streamline entry, avoid overcrowding, and ensure that only authorised executives participate in the closed-door session.

TVK General Secretary N. Anand, in a statement, clarified that, in view of safety considerations, certain categories of people will not be issued entry passes. Pregnant women, children, school students, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and those with pre-existing health conditions have been advised not to attend the meeting. The restrictions, he said, are purely precautionary. The party has taken additional safety measures following an unfortunate incident during a recent TVK programme in Erode, where a participant reportedly fainted and later died.
