The meeting was organised to introduce the AIADMK secretaries of Alangayam Panchayat Union east and west, following the recent bifurcation of the union. The Ministers shared the stage with the new office-bearers and others, none of whom were wearing masks.

Making matters worse, there was a sizeable crowd attending the meeting, all standing side by side without following the norm on maintaining a minimum distance from one another.
