Hathras stampede: Judicial panel to issue public notice asking locals to join probe
Sunday, 7 July 2024 The commission will also release a public notice in the near future, inviting local residents and witnesses of the tragic event to provide any evidence related to the stampede, along with their statements, as stated by retired Allahabad High Court judge Brijesh Kumar Shrivastava, who is also the chairperson of the panel.
A massive stampede erupted during Pandit Pradeep Mishra’s Katha event in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, as chaos unfolded at Shatabdi Nagar. Around one lakh attendees crowded the venue, leading to the unfortunate incident when private security tried to restrict entry for women. Authorities, including ADG Dhruv Kant Thakur, confirmed no fatalities or injuries but highlighted the overwhelming challenges in managing the crowd. This incident comes months after the tragic Hathras stampede in July that claimed 121 lives. Watch to understand what led to the chaos and its aftermath.
