The death toll in one of the worst-ever hooch tragedies reported in Tamil Nadu climbed to 39 at Karunapuram in Kallakurichi district.
The toll is likely to go up with many victims undergoing treatment in serious condition.
On Thursday, bodies were seen piled up next to one another on the Gomukhi riverbed ready to be cremated or buried, even as relatives prepared for the last rites
Amid calls from the Opposition for his resignation on moral grounds, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin constituted a one-man commission headed by Justice B. Gokuldas, former judge of the Madras High Court, to conduct a thorough inquiry into the deaths in Kallakurichi.
The committee has been mandated to submit its report to the government within three months.
