hooch tragedy

Rahul Gandhi is even yet to acknowledge the Tamil Nadu hooch tragedy and Sandeshkhali violence in West Bengal.

A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Madras High Court by a certain Mohamed Ghouse to strike down the Tamil Nadu government order providing the Rs 10 lakh compensation to all the victims of the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy.

The govt claimed the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy can't be compared with earlier incidents because methanol compositions are different

A total of 136 people have been admitted to five hospitals. The total count of people affected due to consumption of illicit liquor has now increased to 225.

The DMK leader also blamed BJP’s Tamil Nadu President K. Annamail, calling the Hooch tragedy a “planned conspiracy by Annamalai”.

Instead of directly questioning the MK Stalin-led government, Kamal Haasan said, "There are enough available liquor, more than pharmacies."

The death toll in the Tamil Nadu Hooch tragedy has risen to 56, according to the district administration's report released on Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the wake of the deaths in Kallakurichi in Tamil Nadu, 250 litres of illicit liquor were seized and disposed off in the state's Tiruchirapalli district.

The AAP government’s cabinet minister and Sunam MLA Aman Arora courted controversy while trying to absolve the state govt of any responsibility over the Sangrur incident.

Tamil Nadu was rocked with two separate incidents of spurious liquor deaths, with 13 dead in Villupuram and 7 in Chengalpattu.
