Tamil Nadu CM Vijay to Distribute Govt. Job Appointment Orders to Kin of 32 Karur Stampede Victims

Vijay will meet 32 victims’ families and launch a Rs 1,700 crore footwear project expected to create 13,500 jobs, officials said.

  • On Friday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay visits Karur to meet families of victims from last year's tragic stampede at a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam rally and launch a Rs 1,700 crore footwear manufacturing project.
  • To support families of 41 people who died in the September 25 stampede, Vijay will distribute compassionate appointment orders to 32 individuals across various government departments based on their qualifications.
  • Laying the foundation for Evervan Kothari Footwear Private Limited at Manavasi near Krishnarayapuram, the facility will be developed with Rs 1,700 crore investment and create employment for around 13,500 people.
  • Authorities deployed more than 5,000 police personnel to oversee security and crowd management. State BJP president Nainar Nagendran welcomed the employment initiative but alleged the government's timing was politically motivated.
