Stampede at actor Vijay’s rally.
Actor and leader Vijay’s party in Karur, Tamil Nadu lost 38 people from a stampede at the party’s rally. Which includes 16 women and 10 children. At the same time, the injured have been admitted to different hospitals for treatment. Meanwhile, big things are coming out about the stampede. It is being told that the crowd of people in this rally gathered more than the estimate. At the same time, Vijay himself also reached the rally late from his scheduled time. Due to standing for a long time in the scorching heat, the condition of some people started deteriorating and they fell unconscious, after which suddenly there was an atmosphere of chaos and stampede.
On the incident of Karur stampede, DGP in charge of Tamil Nadu. Venkataraman said that the permission of the meeting was given from 3 pm to 10 pm, but the crowd started gathering from 11 am. By the time Vijay arrived at 7:40 pm, the crowd was waiting for hours without enough food and water. This is the truth.
He said that party workers should take responsibility for mob management. The police cannot be deployed in equal number of the entire crowd of 27,000. The reasons behind this tragic incident will be known only after investigation. A member commission has already been formed. Till then, I can’t comment more on this.
500 policemen were posted
The DGP told about the accident that the dead include 12 men, 16 women and 10 children (five boys and five girls). Describing the incident as very tragic, he said that the crowd reached more than expected. However, where actor-leader Vijay was to address the people, more than 500 policemen were stationed there.
Waiting hungry and thirsty
An eyewitness Nanda Kumar said that we were present there ourselves. Vijay was reported to come at 11 o’clock, but he arrived for a long time. People came with the children, were hungry and thirsty, and stood for hours to get a glimpse of Vijay. In such a situation, the situation became uncontrollable. Although the organizers had an idea of the crowd or not, it is difficult to say, but such incidents should not be repeated.
Compensation announcement, inquiry commission constituted
At the same time, Chief Minister MK Stalin said that the government has formed a commission to investigate the stampede. It will be chaired by retired judge Aruna Jagdishan. Along with this, he announced to give 10-10 lakh rupees for the families of the dead and 1-1 lakh rupees to the injured.
Case filed against TVK officer
Tamil Nadu Police has registered a case against TVK’s Karur West District Secretary VP Mathiajagan. During the program, a case has been filed under four sections for violation of norms.
