Supreme Court Panel to Inspect Karur Stampede Site
A group of experts appointed by the Supreme Court will visit the place where a big crowd accident happened in Karur, Tamil Nadu.
This accident happened during a political event on October 12 and many people got hurt or died.
The group, led by a retired judge named Justice Ajay Rastogi, will spend three days looking at the site to understand what went wrong.
They will ask questions to the local government about how they managed the crowd and if they followed all the safety rules.
The group wants to make sure that the investigation is fair and no one tries to influence it.
They have already met with the police officers who are investigating the case and have started their initial work.
A Supreme Court-appointed panel will begin a 3-day inspection of the Karur stampede site on December 1.
The panel, led by retired Justice Ajay Rastogi, will examine the sequence of events leading to the stampede.
The stampede during a political rally on October 12 resulted in 41 deaths and over 60 injuries.
The panel has prepared a checklist and questions for the Karur district administration regarding crowd control and safety measures.
The CBI is conducting the investigation, and the panel has warned against any external influence in the probe.
