The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has decided that no public meetings can be held on highways in Tamil Nadu until proper safety guidelines are put in place. This decision comes after a tragic incident that cost over 40 lives.
Several people, including Senthilkannan, asked the court to make sure safety measures are in place before allowing public gatherings. They want the government to create clear rules for such events. The court agreed and said no meetings should happen on highways until these rules are ready.
"Without creating a clear set of rules, no one should give permission for any meeting," said Senthilkannan.
Justice M. Dhandapani and Justice M. Jothiraman decided that until the rules are finalized, no public meetings can be held on state or national highways. The government must make sure that these events are safe and well-organized.
The court's decision is based on a recent incident where many people lost their lives due to poor management at a public event. The judges emphasized the need for clear rules to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The State Government is working on creating these rules, and until they are approved, no permissions for public meetings on highways will be given. The court also encouraged Senthilkannan to be part of the ongoing case to help finalize these rules.
"The State Government and its departments will not give any permission for holding any kind of public meeting," assured the Additional Advocate General.
The court has ruled that no public meetings can take place on highways until safety guidelines are created. This decision aims to prevent accidents and ensure public safety during large gatherings.
