City police have denied permission

for the pro-Eelam TESO meet, convened by the forum's founder

leader and DMK chief M Karunanidhi here tomorrow. Police have denied permission on various grounds but they

cannot be divulged as the matter was sub-judice, Chennai

Police Commissioner J K Tripathy told PTI today.Sources said permission was denied on various grounds,

including security implications as a large turnout was

expected than the venue could accommodate or the organisers

had mentioned.The police decision came late last night hours after the

Madras High Court, during the hearing of two PILs opposing the

conference of the Tamil Eelam Supporters Organisation (TESO),

directed the city police chief to pass a detailed order on the

representation (seeking permission) submitted by the

organisers and communicate the decision to them immediately.TESO, a pro-Sri Lankan Tamils outfit floated by

Karunanidhi in the late 80s, was recently revived by him and

its first meet was scheduled to be held here tomorrow with

several leaders besides some Sri Lankan Tamil leaders expected

to participate in it.Both the Central and Tamil Nadu governments had yesterday

submitted in the court objections to certain aspects of the

conference.The Centre told the court that it would not allow the

organisers, including DMK, to use the word 'Eelam' in the

heading of the international conference, while the state

government said it may deny permission for holding the event

as the chosen venue was not big enough to accommodate the

number of people expected to attend it.State Advocate General A Navaneethakrishnan said police

permission may be denied as the YMCA ground was located near a

government hospital, attended by over 3000 out-patients daily.Besides, according to DMK party organ Murasoli, over one

lakh people were expected to attend the meet with about 1,250

vehicles which may result in traffic diversions in that area,

bringing life to a standstill in the city.
