The state’s political rivals have shared responsibility for the deaths, and local opposition politicians staged a protest on Monday at the tragedy’s page.
Although Tamil Nadu is never a dry state, officially sold beer is priced at a lower price than alcohol in the black market.
In a number of different parts of India, alcohol consumption is prohibited, which further fuels the expanding black market for strong, often fatal whiskey.
Last year, hazardous drinking killed at least 27 people in one sitting in the northeast Indian state of Bihar, while in 2022, at least 42 folks died in Gujarat.
In Kallakurichi district, poor laborers regularly purchased 60 rupee ($ US 0.00 ) worth of alcohol in plastic bags before going to work, according to Indian media.
This shipment, however, was devastating. Some folks went blind, while others perished before arriving at the hospital from the road.
