New Delhi: The chairpersons of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC), Kishor Makwana, on Friday visited Karur in Tamil Nadu along with senior officials and met the families of 12 SC victims who died in a recent stampede during a rally of actor-politician Vijay’s party.

The Commission recommended that one eligible member from each bereaved SC family be provided with a government job, considering their poor socio-economic condition.

The stampede on September 27, which took place during a rally convened by Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam ( TVK ), claimed 41 lives and left over 100 injured after the crowd swelled beyond expectation and surged uncontrollably on the actor’s arrival.

Several men, women and children were caught in the crush, with many getting trampled.
