The AIADMK staged a walkout from the Assembly on Wednesday, alleging that the DMK government did not take sufficient precautionary measures, leading to the loss of 11 lives and injuries to many others during a religious procession at Kalimedu in Thanjavur district.
During his speech after a few MLAs moved a special call attention motion on the electrocution, Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami of the AIADMK said electricity supply would usually be stopped in areas where such a religious procession was to be taken out. But it was not done at Kalimedu.
He said there was no proper planning for such processions and sought action against those responsible for the accident.
