A tragic stampede at actor-politician Vijay’s TVK rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu, claimed 39 lives, including 10 children, 17 women, and 12 men, while leaving more than 80 injured. The incident occurred after Vijay’s delayed arrival, when the restless crowd surged toward his bus. Escape routes were reportedly blocked by ropes and hoardings, worsening the chaos. Many collapsed due to suffocation and heat. The state government has announced an inquiry led by a retired judge and promised compensation and medical aid for victims. Political leaders nationwide expressed shock and condolences, calling for stricter crowd management at political events. (PC: PTI)
