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.
