Shocking Report..! thanjavur temple Chariot Tragedy..!

Eleven people were killed in a power outage at the thanjavur Chariot Festival. In this context, on the eve of the 94th Chithirai festival at the Kalimedu Upper temple, the festival was held with much fanfare last night. When the chariot came near the temple, a high voltage wire came up. As a result, 10 people were electrocuted and died on the spot. Many of the toad catchers have been thrown out. Of these, more than 30 were admitted to Tanjore government Hospital with serious injuries.
One person who was admitted to the intensive care unit with serious injuries died without treatment. As a result, the death toll from the power outage at the Chariot festival has risen to 11. 3 of them are boys. In this case, the information about how the chariot was electrocuted has now been released. According to a Kalimedu resident who witnessed the incident, the festival holds a three-day festival for the god Thirunavukarasu every year in the month of Chittirai. In that way, the chariot will leave the temple at 10 last night and come around the town and go back to the temple.Then, the generator cart, which was coming from behind, got stuck when the toad pullers turned the toad. Thus, they have tried to go to the side of the road and bend the Chariot so that the road is wide without being able to pull them back again. The system, which was set up in the form of a folding lift on the top of the chariot, has been used in areas where there are power lines when coming through the streets. That folding lifting system is used to reduce the height of the chariot. But, when turning the chariot on the road, they do not use the folding lifting system that reduces the height of the chariot. This was not noticed by the people who pulled the chariot, the boys, and the person who was driving the generator. The high voltage wire that was going over the road when the chariot was turning hit the top of the chariot as it did not use the fold lifting system that reduces the height of the chariot.
Thus, the electricity flowing through the high voltage wire flowed onto the vehicle carrying the iron chariot and generator. As a result, the toad catchers, the operator who was driving the generator, and the person sitting in the chariot to break the coconut for puja were electrocuted. Not everyone could do anything about the power outage because of the high voltage. The high voltage wire was dangerous because it was kept inside the town above the road.

The details of the casualties in this chariot accident have now been released. Accordingly, Mohan (age 22), Pratap (age 36), Raghavan (age 24), Anpalagan (age 60), Nagarajan (age 60), Selvam (age 56), Saminathan (age 56), Govindaraj, Santosh (age 15) ), Rajkumar (age 14), Paranitharan (age 13).
