Chennai (PTI): After lying low for nearly two months following the September 27 Karur stampede, TVK chief, actor-politician Vijay is likely to resume his political campaign pretty soon, party sources said on Friday.

However, it would not be a mega rally, but an indoor meeting.

He is expected to address people of the northern Kancheepuram district on November 23 at an indoor facility in the same district, they said.

People, who have expressed their wish in advance to take part in the indoor meeting to listen to Vijay alone will be allowed, they said, adding his address might not go beyond a maximum of 30 minutes.

The party office-bearers had already petitioned Salem city police seeking nod for its chief to hold a rally next month there.

On Friday, the state government submitted its draft SOP to regulate public meetings in the state.

Additional Advocate General J Ravindran produced a copy of the final draft of 46 page-SOP before the First Bench comprising Chief Justice M M Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan when the petition filed by actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) and impleading petitions from AIADMK and Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi came up for hearing.

Mumbai (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli blasted half-centuries as the defending champions put up an imposing 240 for 4 -- the second-highest score this season -- against Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.

Salt smashed a 36-ball 78, studded with six boundaries and as many maximums, while stalwart Kohli made a composed 50 off 38 balls, as the duo put on a polished 120-run stand for the opening wicket.

Salt was dismissed by Shardul Thakur in his very first over, the team's 11th, providing a huge sigh of relief to MI.

Skipper Rajat Patidar then took over from where Salt left off, scoring a rapid 53 off just 20 balls, studded with four boundaries and five sixes, as RCB made quite a statement.

Earlier, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field.

Brief scores: 240 for 4 in 20 overs (Phil Salt 78, Virat Kohli 50, Rajat Patidar 53, Tim David 35 not out).
