Chennai (Tamil Nadu): Tamil actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam founder Vijay on Monday expressed grief over the loss of lives during the Air Show at the Marine Beach here and asked the Tamil Nadu government to ensure amenities in the place where people gather in large numbers.
Five deaths occurred after the Indian Air Force's air show on the Marina beach on Sunday. Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian said on Monday that the deaths were related to heat issues. He appealed to the political parties and media not to politicise the issue. Of the nearly 100 people admitted to the government hospitals close to Marina Beach, 7 were undergoing treatment, and 93 people were treated as out-patients. Five persons were brought dead to the hospitals, Subramanian stated.
