Panjim: At least six people were killed and around 80 others sustained injuries in a stampede during an annual Hindu religious event in the BJP-ruled Indian state of Goa.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident occurred between 4:00 am and 5:00 am during the annual Shree Devi Lairai Jatra festival held in Shirgao village.<\/p>\n

“Devotees were witnessing a religious ceremony and the frenzy caused during the rituals triggered a stampede,” said V.S. Chadonkar, a police officer in Goa’s state capital Panjim.<\/p>\n

“Six people lost their lives and at least eighty were critically injured,” he said.<\/p>\n

Stampedes during large Hindu religious gatherings are routinely reported in India, where safety measures and crowd management protocols are often inadequate.<\/p>\n
