About the Stampede incident
According to reports, the Karur rally killed at least 39 people and left 95 others injured. Actor-turned-politician Vijay reacted to the stampede and said, “This is indeed an irreparable loss for us. No matter who offers words of comfort, the loss of our loved ones is unbearable. Yet, as a member of your family, I intend to provide 20 lakh rupees to each family that has lost a loved one and 2 lakh rupees to those who are injured and receiving treatment. This amount is, of course, not significant in the face of such a loss. Still, at this moment, it is my duty as one who belongs to your family to stand by you, my dear ones, with a heavy heart.”
When asked about the cause of the stampede during a press briefing early on Sunday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin stated, “Tamil Nadu has appointed a commission headed by retired judge Aruna Jagadeesan to investigate the incident and submit a report to the government, after which further action will be taken."
