Permission has been granted to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to hold route marches on April 16 in 45 places across Tamil Nadu, the police said on Thursday.
The 'traditional' rallies would be held in 45 places including Chennai, Vellore, Hosur, Salem, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Tiruvannamalai, Arani, Coimbatore, Mettupalayam, Palladam, Karur, Tenkasi, Kanyakumari, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai, an RSS spokesperson said.
The police said the permission was granted following the dismissal of Tamil Nadu's appeals in the Supreme Court.
Adequate security arrangements were in place, it added.
Since last year, the RSS has been attempting to hold processions but could not do so.
The government had refused permission and the matter also went to the Madras high court.
When the RSS announced its route marches, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi opposed it and said it would hold a human-chain movement for social harmony. -- PTI
