Chennai, July 11:
Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Friday distributed government appointment orders to 31 family members of the 41 people killed in the Karur tragedy, besides providing a cash compensation of Rs 10 lakh to one beneficiary.
Most of the beneficiaries were appointed as junior assistants in various government departments based on their educational qualifications. The appointments were made after officials identified eligible family members from among the 41 victims who lost their lives in the tragedy.
According to the eligibility criteria, one government job was provided to families that lost two or more members, while two families were excluded as eligible members were already serving in government jobs.
