A fight broke out among college students during Hip Hop Tamizha's concert at Codissia grounds in Coimbatore on Sunday. The incident occurred due to inadequate security arrangements, leading to injuries among bystanders.
Coimbatore: A Hip Hop Tamizha concert at the Codissia grounds in Coimbatore took an unexpected turn on Sunday when a brawl erupted among intoxicated college students. The event, which attracted a large crowd including college students and the general public, was marred by the incident that occurred while Hip Hop Tamizha was performing on stage.
As the situation escalated, local police intervened and removed the students involved in the altercation from the venue. Eyewitnesses reported that the security arrangements for the concert were inadequate, which may have contributed to the incident.
Spectators expressed concern over the increasing number of college students attending such music events, citing a rise in problematic behavior. Some bystanders reportedly sustained minor injuries during the commotion. The lack of proper security measures was pointed out as a major factor in allowing the situation to spiral out of control.
A notable feature of the concert was a 300-foot ramp, similar to international music shows, on which Hip Hop Tamizha performed, walking and dancing while singing. This unique setup added to the spectacle of the event, despite the unfortunate incident that occurred.
The incident has raised questions about the safety measures in place for large-scale music events in the city, particularly those attracting a younger audience. Local authorities are expected to review the security protocols for future events to prevent similar occurrences.
