Madurai: A petition has been filed in the High Court seeking a ban on the Madurai AIADMK conference. The petitioner, Sethumuthuramalingam from Karaikudi, Sivagangai district, argues that the conference, scheduled to take place on August 20 in front of the Madurai Perungudi Karuppasamy temple, poses a threat to the safety and security of the Madurai Airport.
The petitioner claims that the conference venue is in close proximity to the airport, which welcomes numerous daily flights. The Madurai Airport is under the constant surveillance of soldiers and police, as it falls within the jurisdiction of the Central Industrial Security Force. The petitioner expresses concern that with an anticipated 15 lakh attendees, the conference could disrupt flight landings.
Furthermore, the petitioner highlights the potential risk of firecrackers being burst by conference participants, as this could have a significant impact. The area surrounding the airport has been declared a protected area by the aviation department, with a strict ban on the use of firecrackers. Despite this, permission for the conference has been granted without considering these safety measures.
Additionally, billboards above a certain height are prohibited within a 20 km radius of the airport without proper authorization. The petitioner argues that the conference organizers failed to obtain the necessary clearance certificate from the Madurai airport authorities. The petitioner also predicts that the event will cause severe traffic congestion, further exacerbating the situation.
Seeking preventive measures against potential safety hazards and disruptions, the petition calls for a ban on holding the AIADMK conference on August 20. It requests that the court order a denial of permission for the conference. The hearing for the petition is expected to take place soon.
As the case unfolds, concerned parties await the court’s decision regarding the fate of the Madurai AIADMK conference.
