The ADGP provided insights into the circumstances surrounding the Karur stampede, which unfolded during a rally organized by TVK. The massive crowd, present at the event on Saturday, caused significant chaos, leading to panic and injuries. It is alleged that overcrowding at the venue was a contributing factor to the tragedy. The ADGP clarified that permission for the event was initially denied at Light House Raundana due to safety concerns, including the presence of a petrol pump and the Amaravati River Bridge. An alternative venue was suggested and approved, with the ADGP stating that crowd management violations are under investigation.
