Karur stampede: Death toll rises to 41; Edappadi K Palaniswami says full police coverage could have averted tragedy
A stampede at actor-politician Vijay's rally in Karur tragically killed 41 people, with over 60 hospitalized. The DGP attributed the incident to Vijay's delayed arrival, leaving crowds waiting for hours in the scorching sun without adequate provisions. Police have since charged TVK officebearers with negligence, while Vijay and PM Modi announced compensation for the victims.
