At 5 p.m., he will meet party functionaries at Thangam Mahal in Mettukadai and attend the family wedding reception of V.C. Chandrakumar, former MLA and the party’s joint secretary of the propaganda wing. Later, he will return to the guest house, where he will meet representatives from farmers’ and trade associations, as well as industrialists.

Around 2,500 police personnel from seven districts have been deployed for security arrangements. The deployment is being overseen by T. Senthilkumar, Inspector General of Police, West Zone, Coimbatore, A. Saravana Sundar, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Coimbatore Range, Erode Superintendent of Police G.

A recent study by the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), a not-for-profit research organisation, on two villages of north Tamil Nadu — Kundrathur and Ullavur — in the neighbourhood of Chennai, highlights how elaborate self-governing administrative systems existed at the village level for many years before the arrival of the British.
