Madras HC orders to give Rs. 5 lakh as interim relief to Subhashri's family

Twenty-three-year-old Subashree working in a software company was run over by a water tanker as she fell down on the road when an illegal life-size hoarding put up by a ruling AIADMK functionary fell on her on Thursday.

The Madras HC has ordered the state government to pay an interim compensation of Rs 5 lakh to Subhasri’s family.

The High Court has adjourned the case to September 25.

Madras HC slams TN govt over techie's death

The Madras High Court today came down heavily on the Tamil Nadu government and politicians for not implementing its orders following the death of a 23-year-old woman who was run over when she fell off her two-wheeler after being struck by a banner of the ruling AIADMK.

Hearing a contempt petition filed for non-compliance of the court order banning political parties from putting up banners, the court asked as to "how many more litres of blood should paint the roads" for the officials to turn sensitive and start cracking down on illegal banners.

The court said the victim Subashree was in the prime of her life and would have contributed to the country's growth and asked who would answer her parents now.

The court also said it has lost faith in the government following its failure to implement its orders issued over the past several years against illegal banners.

The court also wondered whether politicians would not attend weddings if banners were not put up.

The court said Chief Minister K. Palaniswami should issue a statement asking his partymen to desist from such acts.

"This banner has been put up by the ruling party. Our party has been advocating that banner culture must go away. Now who is responsible for the death of this young girl? Enough compensation must be given to the family members of the victim."

Chennai: Twenty-three-year-old Subashree working in a software company was run over by a water tanker as she fell down on the road when an illegal life size hoarding put up by a ruling AIADMK functionary fell on her on Thursday.

Even though the Madras High Court had banned hoardings in public places, an AIADMK party official C. Jayagopal had put up the banner at the centre of the busy Pallavaram-Thoraipakkam Radial Road.

Subashree was returning home from office when the accident happened.

The banner had the images of Chief Minister K. Palaniswami, Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa and others for a family wedding.

Panneersevlam had attended that wedding.

Expressing his condolence for Subashree's death DMK President M.K.Stalin tweeted: "How many lives have to be sacrificed for such arrogance of power."

He said, an illegal hoarding had killed Subashree owing to government's carelessness, irresponsibility of the officials and the inability of the police.

Action has been initiated against the people who had installed the banner and have arrested the tanker driver for rash driving, the police said.

The Chennai Corporation has sealed the printing press that printed the banner.
