Preparations are gathering pace along the proposed route. The TVK leadership has instructed party legislators to oversee arrangements, assigning an MLA to every five-kilometre stretch. The allocation is intended to coordinate preparations across the route as local units mobilise supporters for the Chief Minister’s visit. Friday’s programme will mark another campaign appearance by Vijay in support of Kumaravel.
