Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, on Saturday, said in the wake of the tragedy that unfolded in Karur, the state is planning to formulate a SOP (standard operating procedure) for such gatherings to prevent stampede-like situations in the future.
The chief minister urged everyone to stop playing the political blame game over the incident.
He assured that a standard operating procedure will be formulated in consultation with experts, political parties, activists, and people to prevent stampedes during such gatherings. This SOP will become a model for the whole country, the CM added.
Against the backdrop of the tragedy, "let us unite to save the lives of our people and prevent such a tragedy from happening again, not only in Tamil Nadu, but anywhere in India," the chief minister said in a tweet.
Underlining that every life is precious, Stalin welcomed ideas and suggestions towards the collective effort to prevent stampedes by formulating SOP.
"Let us unite to save the lives of our people and prevent such a tragedy from happening again, not only in Tamil Nadu, but anywhere in India!"
