CM Vijay to Give 32 Job Orders to Kin of Karur Victims
The state will also extend welfare benefits as authorities deploy about 6,500 police personnel for the CM’s visit, officials said.
- On Friday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay visits Karur to hand over government job appointment orders to 32 family members of the 41 people who died in the September 2025 TVK rally stampede.
- The tragedy occurred at a TVK rally in Velusamypuram last September, prompting Vijay to previously provide Rs 20 lakh to each bereaved family beyond the Rs 10 lakh solatium announced by the then DMK government.
- Authorities deployed around 6,500 police personnel across Karur to ensure security, while Vijay participates in a nearly 10-kilometer roadshow through the district before official ceremonies.
- Beyond relief efforts, the Chief Minister will lay the foundation stone for an Evervan Kothari Footwear Private Limited factory at Manavasi village, a Rs 1,700 crore project expected to generate employment for around 13,500 people, officials said.
- The day's program begins around 11 am along the Karur-Salem Highway, with Vijay later addressing a public meeting at the Atlas Kalaiyaranga Ground before formalizing appointments at the Karur District Collectorate.
