TN Govt. to frame rules and guidelines for public events after Karur tragedy: CM Stalin

Two days after a stampede claimed 41 lives at actor-politician Vijay’s rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin announced on Monday (September 29, 2025) that rules and guidelines will be framed for public events held by political parties and other organisations.

Once the Justice Aruna Jagadeesan Commission of Inquiry submits its report, consultations will be held with all political parties and other organisations to frame the rules and guidelines, he said.

In a recorded video clip posted on his social media handle, Stalin said: “It is our collective duty to frame rules and guidelines to be followed by political parties and other organisations when they organise such events. So, I assure you that these rules and guidelines will be framed once the report from the Commission of Inquiry is received and after consultations are held with all political parties and organisations. I hope everyone will extend their cooperation in this regard.”
