Black Cloth and Broken Chains: Vijay Walks Karur's Grief to the Station House Door

Tamil Nadu's chief minister wore mourning to meet stampede victims' families, then named the police he says failed to stop the crush.

The garment was a statement of mourning for the dozens crushed to death in the 2025 stampede, and a visual rebuke carried straight into the city where they died.

Stalin, this was his first visit to the site of the tragedy, a pilgrimage delayed until the courts cleared his path and loaded with the weight of a disaster that has become a political flashpoint.
