Actor-politician Vijay has announced an ex-gratia of ₹20 lakh for the kin of the deceased in Karur stampede and a relief of ₹2 lakh for those injured. At least 39 people were killed and 56 others were injured in the stampede at his rally in Tamil Nadu’s Karur on Saturday evening.
Terming it an “irreparable loss”, Vijay said, “The faces of all of you whom I have met keep flashing through my mind. The more I think of my loved ones who show affection and care, the more my heart slips further from its place.”
“My heart and mind are overwhelmed with profound heaviness. In the midst of the immense grief of losing our loved ones, I am at a loss for words to express the pain my heart endures. My eyes and mind are clouded with sorrow,” he wrote on X.
