Karur stampede fallout: Madras HC directs Tamil Nadu govt to frame SOP for political events; warns against delay in granting permissions

Following the Karur stampede, the Madras High Court has mandated the Tamil Nadu government to establish a Standard Operating Procedure for public meeting permissions within ten days. Political parties, including AIADMK, can submit their recommendations by November 11. This directive aims to streamline approvals without hindering meetings at non-highway locations.
