While it's important for political activities, these large conferences cause so much disruption for common people. My husband travels daily to Manapparai for work. His commute time will double tomorrow. 😓 The routes are so complicated!

The level of detail in the police announcement is impressive. They've covered routes from every direction - Madurai, Karur, Chennai, even Ramanathapuram. Shows they've done their homework. Let's hope party workers also follow the rules and don't park vehicles haphazardly.

I'm visiting from Canada and was planning to drive from Chennai to Madurai tomorrow. This is very helpful information to have in advance! Will replan my journey to avoid the area. Thanks to the local news for publishing this.

Respectfully, while democracy needs political gatherings, the cost to public convenience is high. The fuel wasted in these long diversions, the pollution from idling traffic, the business losses for shops on the highway... Is there no better way? Maybe virtual conferences for party workers?

As a local from Siruganur, we are used to this during election season. The ground they are using is huge, so parking might be okay. Just hoping the party workers don't litter our village roads with plastic cups and banners after the conference. Last time cleanup took days!
