Thrissur (Kerala): Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Friday attempted to downplay reports suggesting that the state's Director General of Police (DGP) had objected to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Puttingal Devi Temple on the same day when the tragedy took place, saying the visit of national leaders provided relief to the people during the disaster.
Chandy said
Prime Minister Modi came to the spot and expressed his grief, adding that it
was a great relief for the people at that point of time.
"Apart
from the Prime Minister, national leaders Shri Rahul Gandhi and CPI (M) general
secretary Shri (Sitaram) Yechury they all came (and) that was a big relief for
the people of Kerala. Their presence and their advice and their help was a
great thing for Kerala," he told the media here.
As per
reports, Kerala DGP TP Senkumar had raised concerns over the high profile
visits to the fire tragedy site as it would hamper the rescue efforts.
At least 113
people have been killed and scores injured after a huge stock of firecrackers
went up in flames in Puttingal Devi Temple premises early on Sunday morning.
