**DMK MP Demands Compensation for TVK Cadres Hospitalized After Rally in Namakkal**

**Namakkal, India – September 28, 2025** – A political rally held by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in Karur has resulted in health issues for several cadres, leading to a demand for compensation from the government. Four TVK members from Namakkal are currently receiving treatment in hospitals after fainting during the rally on Saturday, September 27th.

The incident occurred as thousands of TVK supporters, including women, gathered to hear an address by TVK President and actor Vijay. The event, scheduled to begin at 8:45 AM near K.S. Theatre on Salem Road, saw attendees arriving as early as 5:00 AM. However, Mr. Vijay did not arrive until 2:30 PM, resulting in a long wait under conditions that led to approximately 15 cadres fainting.

Rajya Sabha member and DMK MP K.R.N. Rajeshkumar submitted a petition to the Namakkal District Collector on Sunday, demanding compensation for the four hospitalized cadres: M. Manoj Kumar (24), R. Ezhilarasi (24), A. Santhosh (24), and V. Arumugam. All four are reported to be out of danger.

“These individuals suffered health consequences as a direct result of their participation in the rally,” stated Mr. Rajeshkumar to reporters. “They deserve compensation comparable to what was offered to those affected by the stampede at the Karur rally.”

The DMK has already provided ₹50,000 to Ms. Ezhilarasi, who is receiving treatment in Salem. The party is reportedly attempting to contact the families of the other affected individuals to offer further assistance.

In related news, the Namakkal police have registered a case against TVK Namakkal district in-charge Sathish and others under the Tamil Nadu Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act for allegedly erecting banners and flex boards without obtaining proper permission. The investigation is ongoing.
