I'm here Bro[;)].

Today morning I have done a solo drive in my Vista from Vellore to Chennai(Alone). Never faced any riots/blockage anywhere in NH. Current situation seems to be normal.

But still the number of buses on Highway was less.

Except Hosur, other parts of TN seems to be normal. So, What I suggest is, Please take Andhra route(Bangalore - Dasarahali - Mulbagal - Palamner - Chittor - Arcot - Chennai) and reach Chennai Safely.

Even Figoan(Subbu) took the same route to reach Bangalore this morning from Kalpakkam.

Thanks bro for the tip.

However, I am just wondering now, that the bail petition being rejected, will it still be a matter of concern.

Please update as you get to know more during the next couple of days.

Read as petition being adjourned and not rejected. so it should not be an issue I guess.

Just Reached office and drove for some 20Kms from room to office in OMR. Not seen any issues/riots anywhere.
Situation seems to be Normal.

Heard politicians gathering at public places and showing their against. But, nothing serious.

Releesh, I think you don't need to postpone your trip. even we Chennai guys heading to Wayanad from Oct 2 to 5th.

Apart from Hosur, other towns/citys situation in TN seems to be normal.
All the shops were open, buses are running in good numbers, cars/bikes are running without any issue.

During the result day(Sep 20) alone we saw riots in TN. apart from that, there is no much riots or anything in TN.

I did my first leg of the trip (B'lore - Pondy) and I would say there is absolutely no problem in the state so far. Will have more details as I drive down to Chennai tomorrow.

Due to last minute dropouts, we postponed our Wayanad trip. But, I have done a trip to Valparai with family and yes, of-course with Whity[;)]

yes, you can expect a short TL[:)]
