Akashvani reports that TVK candidates K. Maragatham Kumaravel and P. Sathyabama won Madurantakam and Dharapuram respectively on October 9. These are results, replacing the earlier campaign-stage uncertainty. The source contains inconsistent wording about one winning margin, so this entry does not reproduce the vote totals. The results belong in the electoral record: winning a seat is not evidence that a welfare promise has been delivered. Earlier campaign reports retain their original dates.

DT Next reports that Vijay launched the expanded Vettri Payanam free-travel programme on October 2 at Koyambedu. It extends an existing benefit for women and transgender passengers to additional service categories. This is a launch milestone, not evidence that every journey or bus category is covered. Passengers should check the transport undertaking's applicable service rules. For the promise tracker, operating coverage, exclusions and access matter more than the ceremony, so the broader commitment remains In Progress.

NDTV reports that Vijay issued a message remembering those who died in the September 27, 2025 Karur rally crowd crush and expressing solidarity with bereaved families. The anniversary is recorded as a public statement, not a new finding about responsibility or the outcome of any investigation. A memorial message and the accountability record serve different purposes: the former acknowledges loss, while the latter requires documented findings and follow-up. This entry does not infer compensation, case disposal or completion of crowd-safety reforms from the tribute.

In his Home department grants reply on September 7, Vijay said policing should be free of political interference and condemned abusive remarks against women, according to The Indian Express. He also linked public safety to the quality of everyday life rather than infrastructure alone. These are statements of policy intent. They provide a basis for asking how complaints are handled, whether protection is accessible and whether enforcement is consistent across political affiliations. A speech cannot establish a reduction in crime or the creation of a promised department. Those assessments require orders, staffing, comparable data and independent scrutiny. Readers should also distinguish sharp political disagreement from a proven offence: accusations made during an Assembly debate do not substitute for a court finding. This report closes the earlier timeline checkpoint awaiting the Chief Minister's law-and-order reply.

India Today reported that Tamil Nadu's CB-CID registered a case after cyber-patrol teams found AI-generated videos impersonating Chief Minister Vijay and directing people toward WhatsApp-based financial-help claims. Police said the clips were fake and warned the public not to respond to phone numbers or groups promoted through those videos. TVK Tracker includes this as a cyber-safety and public-information update because political impersonation scams can confuse welfare communication and expose vulnerable users to fraud. The item is not treated as a partisan development or as proof about who created the clips. The next evidence to track is the FIR or case summary, platform takedown records, Meta response, public advisories in Tamil and English, cyber-crime helpline visibility, and whether the government creates a clear verification channel for genuine scheme announcements.

Times of India and Business Standard reported a broad infrastructure and industry package announced around August 31, including major electricity transmission works, a 1,600 MW super-critical power project in Thoothukudi, Chennai distribution upgrades, a semiconductor and electronics manufacturing park at Maduramangalam in Kanchipuram district, a FinTech Hub in Coimbatore, and a multi-modal logistics hub in the Tiruchirappalli region. TVK Tracker records this as a high-impact economy and infrastructure package, but still at announcement stage. The scale is large enough to affect multiple promise files: power reliability, industrial investment, technology-led jobs, regional development, and fiscal planning. The next public checks are cabinet approvals, land records, tender notices, project SPVs, financing structure, power-purchase or grid documents, environmental clearances, company commitments, job numbers, and completion milestones.
