Kamaraj said that tour gave him a chance of knowing many important matters and was very useful.

He left in a Yugoslavian plane which flew via Rome enroute to Delhi.

Indian flight took off since since the Yugoslavian flight was late. This caused Kamaraj to stay at Rome for 2 days. Because of this delay he could reach India only on 15th August at the 21st Independence day instead of 13th as scheduled before.

MADRAS TREMORED :-

Though the arrival of the flight was only at 1.30pm people of Madras crowded the air port right from the morning.

Crowds were throughout the way to the air port. Once he landed from the flight , a plane showered the flowers on him from the sky. People were running to garland him.

He was taken in procession in an open car. 120 soldiers of Cavalry marched before the car. His car was followed by number of cars and thousands of cycles. Madras had never seen such a procession so far.
