Crowd Chaos at Shiva Mahapuran Katha in Meerut Leads to Panic

Meerut, December 20, 2024 – A Shiva Mahapuran Katha event in Meerut turned chaotic on Wednesday as a large crowd of devotees lost control during the religious gathering. The event, which was being held at a local temple, quickly escalated into a scene of panic, leaving many attendees injured.

Reports suggest that the crowd grew excessively large, with hundreds of people crammed into the venue. As the ceremony progressed, some individuals began pushing and shoving, leading to a stampede-like situation. Many women, who were reportedly at the front of the crowd, found themselves trapped and injured in the commotion.

Local authorities and temple security attempted to regain control of the situation, but the chaos persisted for several minutes. Emergency services were called to the scene, and injured individuals were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment. 

Witnesses said that despite the best efforts of the organizers, the lack of crowd control measures contributed to the incident. The situation has raised concerns about the safety of such large gatherings, especially during religious events.

The police have launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause of the crowd loss of control and ensure accountability.
