Madras HC sets January 5 deadline for TN SOP on rallies

The Madras High Court has told the Tamil Nadu government to make rules for big political rallies and roadshows by January 5, 2026.

This comes after a big accident during a roadshow in Karur where many people died.

The court wants the government to make sure these events are safe.

The rules will say how to organize these events, like having volunteers and police to help.

If any political party doesn't like the rules, they can go to court about it.

The government has already talked to different political parties to make these rules.
