The Supreme Court-appointed panel investigating the Karur stampede tragedy that killed 41 people is preparing to visit the incident site. Led by Justice Ajay Rastogi, the panel has requested Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK to appoint a nodal officer to coordinate between investigators and state officials. The CBI has begun its probe amid escalating political tensions between Vijay's TVK party and the ruling DMK, with each side blaming the other for the deadly incident that occurred at a political rally last month.
