A stampede happened at the Mansa Devi temple in Haridwar on Sunday where hundreds of ਲੋਕ had gathered. According to the ਪੁਲਿਸ six ਲੋਕ died and many others were injured.
The stampede started after a rumour spread that there was an electric current near the temple stairs. This caused panic among the crowd leading to a rush and chaos.
Haridwar’s Senior Superintendent of ਪੁਲਿਸ Pramendra Singh Dobal said that about 35 ਲੋਕ were taken to the hospital. Sadly six of them could not survive.
