Karur (Tamil Nadu): The stampede in Karur, Tamil Nadu, has shaken the entire nation to its core. Just recently, a similar incident during the RCB victory celebrations in Bengaluru claimed the lives of about 11 people. Despite witnessing such disasters, one can't help but question whether the Tamil Nadu police have learned any lessons from them. As a result, reports indicate that approximately 39 people have lost their lives in this stampede.

Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party president Vijay expressed his profound grief over the stampede that occurred during his party's rally via his X account. "I am writhing in intense pain and grief," he stated.Also Read: Asia Cup 2025 Final: India vs Pakistan Cricket Battle - Team India Aims to Teach Pakistan a Lesson with the Bat

Vijay, one of the most popular actors in Tamil cinema with a massive fan base, had previously organized several rallies without any reports of deaths or injuries. However, the unprecedented turnout at this rally has left everyone astonished. Notably, no such incidents had occurred in the numerous rallies held under Vijay's leadership as TVK president in the past.

No amount of condolences or expressions of sorrow can bring back the lives lost. Yet, as many point out, preventive steps could certainly have been taken. On this matter, Prime Minister Modi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin have both voiced their anguish. CM Stalin has announced a compensation of ₹10 lakh each to the families of those who perished.
