Will rain turn a villain for MGR centenary celebrations ?


Coimbatore, Dec. 3

The six-month long preparations by the AIADMK to celebrate the former Chief Minister MGR birth centenary is nearing the last stage in Coimbatore after being conducted in many districts. 

The AIADMK leaders are trying to make it a memorable one and a grand success. 

A grand event like this was the very dream of 'Amma' and is the steriod that AIADMK injects in everyone of its cadre and public to garner crowd and create a big show , the public observe.

With just a day to go for the function to unfold here, the VOC Park grounds have been decorated with fancy pandals for accommodating over 20,000 people. 

Basic amenities like mobile toilets, drinking water facility and disposal bins of varied sizes are in place, said a corporation official.

If the prediction from the Meteorological Department of heavy to moderate rains across the state proves right, then tomorrow's celebrations will suffer. Now, the police who are deployed for security purposes are finding it very difficult to stand in the drizzle, puddles of water and chill breeze. Will the high-funda campaign bring in the crowd in this inclement weather conditions appears to be the question of the hour.
