With assembly elections five months away, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin launches the second phase of Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, extending financial aid to 17 lakh more women and strengthening the state’s flagship welfare initiative.
The DMK protest in Coimbatore led to a significant reduction in the number of government buses. Approximately 10 buses from each area were deployed for the protest, affecting passengers and school students. The public accused the DMK of misusing government resources to create crowds and disrupt public amenities.
TVK party chief Vijay has released his first video statement addressing the tragic stampede at his rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu causing the deaths of 41 individuals.
This financial assistance will be provided to the victims of the tragic stampede where at least 39 people, including children and women lost their lives and dozens were injured.
The stampede, which occurred on Saturday, claimed the lives of 39 people including women and children, and left over 80 others injured.
Crowds had reportedly begun gathering as early as 7 am while actor-politician Vijay arrived at the venue only around 3 pm.
Following the tragedy, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced immediate relief measures and ordered a formal inquiry into the incident.
As per the police chief, the organisers had expected around 10,000 people to appear in the actor-politician rally instead around 27,000 turned up.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin said that this is by far the largest number of deaths the state has witnessed in a program organised by a political party.
