New Delhi: The chairpersons of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC), Kishor Makwana, on Friday visited Karur in Tamil Nadu along with senior officials and met the families of 12 SC victims who died in a recent stampede during a rally of actor-politician Vijay’s party.
The Commission recommended that one eligible member from each bereaved SC family be provided with a government job, considering their poor socio-economic condition.
In a statement, the NCSC said Makwana, accompanied by senior officials from its headquarters and the state office, first inspected the site of the stampede and then visited the homes of the SC victims to offer condolences.
According to the Commission, of the 41 deceased, 15 were from Scheduled Caste communities.
The victims included men, women and children from poor households.
