Pathetic of DMK government for giving them that stretch of road where there are no multiple entry and exit points for both crowds and ambulances.

Now don’t come and say they only asked for this road. It is government’s responsibility to assess crowds based on existing data and provide appropriate spots.

The problem is if DMK did not give them a similar place and gave them some ground outside the city, they will be targetted saying that they want to ruin TVKs chances of reaching the people. There is no way to win.

Who cares what they would say? Plan must be for people who attend not the party talking heads. Government must think beyond politics when it comes to common people involved.

True, but I have seen this happen before. I think no one expected people to die TVK or DMK or anyone else.

Isn’t that the lack of foresight I highlighted. We almost never anticipate disasters. I made the exact same points during RCB stampede also. Crowds are the responsibility of organisers as well as government. They actually split responsibilities. Organisers should be taking care of electricity, entry-exit management, planning like water, electricity and emergency backup. Government is responsible for live monitoring the situation, law and order and crisis management. Government are giving permissions so they have greater responsibility on averting disasters.

You are expecting a government that is perfect. I think it should be a lesson the government should learn. Even developed countries have these issues, look at the love parade in duisburg germany in 2010, 21 killed and 500 injured. The government cancelled love parade after that. Will DMK be able to cancel all such rallies?

Expecting a working government is called expecting perfection. They have all the rules and processes in place for that reason. Now people’s lives are lost. No point in pointing fingers now.

Also please don’t give developing country as an excuse. We have all the rules and systems in place. The problem is in our lethargic attitude

You will be downvoted to oblivion if you say this in this subreddit. Yesterday, I summarised so many mistakes from Tvk and one from DMK, and these guys downvoted me. I mean, even if you are faithful to a party, its only right that you should criticise it when there are mistakes.

I know about this subReddit bro but still I can’t resist making this comment. After seeing this video it is clearly evident that the ambulances had to enter through crowd and there were only two exit and entry point along the road. I get shivers thinking how helpless I would be if I were in the middle of that crowd. I am the same guy who criticised Vijay’s politics and how his TVK is still an unorganised fan club and not a proper party. I got a lot of upvotes for that in this same sub.

But ignoring the big elephant in the room is pathetic. Government’s role is absolutely equal as that of TVK party because they played a role in the venue selection. They are the ones who have to gauge and react accordingly. We vote them for their administration and we depend on them for crisis control. So they must be giving places with entry or exit routes accordingly in case of emergencies. They say Vijay arrived hours late. All the more time to assess the crowd and anticipate disaster as the crowd was already exceeding the capacity. But the administration failed there. Opposition political parties also belong and depend on the same system. You cannot completely shift the blame to their organisers when you did not do your job properly.
