Survivors of the tragic stampede at actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally in Karur described the scene as a “human flood.” At least 39 people—including 10 children, 17 women, and 12 men—lost their lives, while over 80 were injured. Attendees from distant districts like Theni, Madurai, and Virudhunagar were caught in the chaos when ropes and hoardings along the Karur-Erode highway blocked escape routes. Many were trapped, and some injured while trying to flee. The incident has raised serious concerns about crowd management, prompting a government inquiry and relief measures.
