"This is indeed an irreparable loss for us. No matter who offers words of comfort, the loss of our loved ones is unbearable. Yet, as a member of your family, I intend to provide 20 lakh rupees to each family of our kin who have lost their loved ones and 2 lakh rupees to each person who is injured and receiving treatment. This amount is, of course, not significant in the face of such a loss. However, at this moment, it is my duty as a member of your family to stand by you, my kin, with heartfelt support," Vijay said.
At least 39 people were killed and over 50 were injured on Saturday in a stampede at a rally held by Tamil actor-politician Vijay.
