Celebrations marking the birthday of a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) district functionary triggered commotion and traffic disruption in Vandavasi in Tiruvannamalai district, after party cadres allegedly engaged in public nuisance during the event.
Udhayakumar, who serves as the East Tiruvannamalai District Secretary of TVK, celebrated his birthday in Vandavasi, drawing a large turnout of party workers. A significant number of cadres gathered near the Aindhu Kann Palam (Bridge) area on motorcycles as part of the celebrations.
During the event, a crane was used to place a giant garland on Udhayakumar. Cadres were also seen honking motorcycle horns loudly, leading to disturbance in the locality and inconvenience to the public.
Police personnel who arrived at the spot instructed the gathering to clear vehicles that were causing obstruction. This reportedly led to a verbal altercation between some party workers and the police.
Cadres also burst firecrackers along the route as they rode through the town. In visuals that surfaced from the celebrations, Udhayakumar was seen standing atop a car, holding firecrackers in his hand and waving them.
He even posted the video on his Instagram handle.
