Madras HC directs police to grant permission to BJP to take out rally carrying tricolour

The Madras High Court ordered Coimbatore police to allow a BJP rally. This rally will commemorate the 80th Independence Day on August 18. The court found the police had overestimated participant numbers for their SOP. BJP sought permission for a rally carrying the national flag across the state. Both parties agreed on a specific route for the permitted procession.
