The father of a 21-month-old child, one of the 41 people killed in the stampede at a Tamil Nadu TVK rally in Karur in September last year, told NDTV that Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s visit represented the fulfilment of a promise made after the tragedy.
Vimal, whose son Vishnu died in the crush, said, “He had said he would come. He had said he would come when he got permission.” He also welcomed reports that the Chief Minister may offer one government job to each affected family, but added, “We haven’t received any call yet…”
