Karur: A proper investigation would reveal the exact cause of the stampede in Karur, said S. Davidson Devasirvatham, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) on Sunday. At least 40 people lost their lives and over 100 were injured in a stampede that occurred during a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) public meeting in Karur on Saturday evening. The tragedy unfolded when a large crowd surged towards the actor-turned-politician Vijay's vehicle, leading to chaos and suffocation. Speaking to reporters in Karur, Tamil Nadu, the ADGP explained that TVK had initially sought permission to hold its rally at Karur's Lighthouse Roundana, but the venue was deemed unfit due to its cramped surroundings. "A subsequent request for the Uzhavar Sandhai ground was also rejected for safety reasons. Eventually, TVK accepted the site suggested by the police and obtained approval on September 26," Davidson said and added that adequate police strength had been deployed, with nearly 500 personnel on duty during the Karur rally. The senior police officer further noted that the criteria for police deployment depend on the perceived risk of the gathering, with one policeman for every 250 people in low-risk situations and one for every 50 in high-risk gatherings. His statement also pointed to instances in other districts, including Namakkal, where several participants developed health complications during TVK rallies but were treated promptly.
