A stampede-like situation unfolded at a rally on Saturday, led by actor-politician Vijay, chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, as the swelling crowd became unmanageable. Several attendees, including children and party workers, fainted during the chaotic event.
As Vijay addressed the crowd, the unrest grew, and concerned party workers raised the alarm. Responding promptly, Vijay paused his speech and threw water bottles to provide immediate relief to those who had fainted from atop his campaign bus. The pathway for ambulances was obstructed due to the overwhelming assembly.
Fainted individuals were promptly transported to nearby hospitals, with some reportedly in critical condition. Acknowledging the severity of the situation, Vijay concluded his address earlier than planned.
