TVK Rally Stampede Death | Massive Stampede At TVK Rally, Eyewitnesses Share Horrific Accounts

An eyewitness, Suriya said, "Ambulances couldn't get in. There wasn't enough space for people to stand. It took a very long time to bring people out..., Zakir, victim's relative said, "Vijay was supposed to arrive at 9 in the morning, but he didn't show up at that time. Because of that, there was a huge crowd...Near Thirukoilure, especially, there was a huge rush with many youngsters and women...In meetings like this, women and children should not be brought along. Please, it's very difficult and emotionally painful to witness", An eyewitness, Nanda Kumar, said, "We were there ourselves. Nothing could be done to control the crowd. He (Vijay) had said he would arrive in Karur by 11 am, and everyone was informed about it. But when he came, it was much delayed. We pray that everyone who was injured recovers fully and returns home safely. But beyond that, such incidents must be prevented from happening again. It's hard to understand who is at fault. People had come expecting him to arrive on time; many were accompanied by children, were hungry, or faced difficult situations. Everyone came with the enthusiasm of wanting to see a star. This is deeply distressing. It was a very tragic incident. Even if proper safety measures were in place, what can anyone do if ten or fifteen times more people show up than expected? This was a serious mistake. Such events should be carefully planned. I pray to the Almighty that the Tamil Nadu government provide proper support to the affected people.
