A campaign event led by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay at Marakkadai Junction in Trichy on Thursday, 2 April 2026, caused disruption to an ongoing Class 10 public examination at a nearby government school, with students reporting disturbance due to high noise levels, as reported in Times of India.
The incident occurred at the Syed Murtaza Government Higher Secondary School, where around 175 students were appearing for their Social Science board examination between 10:00 am and 1:15 pm. The school is located in close proximity to the campaign venue.
According to sources, loudspeakers playing songs and the continuous cheering of party supporters created a noisy environment that interfered with the examination. The situation intensified when Vijay addressed the gathering between 12:35 pm and 12:55 pm, coinciding directly with the exam hours.
School authorities had reportedly taken prior precautions by submitting petitions to the police and district administration, requesting that necessary measures be implemented to ensure a disturbance-free atmosphere during the examination. Despite these requests, the campaign event proceeded as scheduled, and noise levels remained high throughout the exam duration.
Police personnel present at the venue attempted to manage the crowd and appealed to supporters to maintain silence during the examination. However, the efforts had limited impact, and the disturbance reportedly continued.
