Chief Minister MK Stalin has directed that assistance be provided on a war footing.
Here's What We Know So Far
- Vijay, who is the president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), was supposed to reach Karur around noon on Saturday, but was delayed by at least six hours.
- By the time Vijay arrived, the crowd had already become very large and several people began fainting because of the overcrowding and the heat.
- Taking note of this, the actor-politician stopped his speech and began throwing water bottles from the custom-built campaign bus.
- Officials said a stampede was triggered after a section of the supporters and fans who had gathered fell while trying to get close to the actor's bus
- Ambulances also found it difficult to make their way through the crowd and take patients to hospitals.
