The village of Karunapuram comes to terms with the deaths of their fellow villagers and family members due to the illicit liquor. 

Every street in the village is witnessing funerals as the community mourns those who died from consuming illicit liquor. The people have a single demand from the government: to completely stop the sale of hooch and illegal arrack so that marginalized families can live without fear.

In response to this tragedy, Chief Minister Stalin announced compensation of ₹10 lakh for each family who lost a loved one and ₹50,000 for those undergoing treatment. However, the bereaved families of the deceased individuals are still waiting for Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin to deliver the promised relief funds of ₹10 lakh each. Some of the widowed women sat there, pale-faced, waiting on a hot sunny afternoon.

However, the heavens opened up with heavy rain, seemingly mourning the tragedy that has struck Kallakurichi. While it was expected that the funerals would take place by evening, the continuous rain has halted further proceedings in Karunapuram village.

The Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development, Udhayanidhi Stalin, is facing criticism for making the bereaved families of the deceased wait to receive the promised relief funds of ₹10 lakh each.
