Today it is quite shocking to know that more than sixty people have died and equal numbers are injured in a stampede when the entry gate of an overcrowded spiritual ashram in Mangarh village near Kunda town in Uttar Pradesh’s Pratapgarh district suddenly got collapsed. The state and district authorities are sure to be blamed for this callous mismanagement. Whenever we have such large-scale festivities the administration has to be prepared well in advance to meet the challenges in case of any such unforeseen mishap. The insensitive ill-shapen administrative approach led to this tragedy resulting in the loss of many innocent lives.

India is a country where large number of people gathers for religious and cultural events on a regular basis across the country. It is quite sad to know that every year many people are dying in stampedes in our country and our administration never awakens. Why the local police and authority don’t presume about such unforeseen circumstances in advance and force the organizers to take proper safety measures to maintain calm in case of any eventualities. Why should somebody die because of lethargic management of the organisers and the local administration? The state government should investigate the matter swiftly to find the reason for this tragedy and punish the people involve in the mismanagement. Safety measures should be implemented properly in large congregation to avoid such mishaps.
