The villagers said that the water that surrounded the toad avoided major casualties. Eleven people were electrocuted during a chariot festival near Tanjore. Eleven people were killed when a chariot overturned on a high voltage line. The accident happened while the chariot was returning to the Appar temple after the festival. Eleven people have died and nine others are being treated in intensive care. The villagers said that water was stagnant around the chariot during the chariot festival and more than 50 people stayed away from the chariot. Probably everyone would have been near the chariot if it had not been for the water, noting that there would have been even greater casualties. The district administration is conducting a serious investigation in this regard.
