Actor-politician Vijay on Monday met the families of the Karur stampede victims in Mahabalipuram near here, a month after the tragic incident, a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) source said. A total of 37 families were brought in from Karur to the meeting venue — a resort where the party had booked about 50 rooms, the source said.

It was a closed door meeting. The leader was meeting them individually. Vijay assured the families monetary support, besides for education, the source added.  As many as 41 people lost their lives and over 60 injured in the stampede that occurred at the TVK meeting addressed by Vijay on September 27.
