The incidents that have happened in the last two days in Kubreshwar Dham of famous narrator Pandit Pradeep Mishra located in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh have raised serious questions on the security of religious events. Five people have lost their lives in accidents between millions of devotees from across the country during the 11 -km Kavad Yatra.
Stampede first stampede in Kubreshwar Dham
- The incidents started on Tuesday, August 5 when a huge crowd in Kubareshwar Dham caused a stampede and two women died. The deceased were identified as 56 -year -old Jaswanti Ben of Rajkot in Gujarat and Sangeeta Gupta, 48, from Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh.
- The situation became even more serious when three more devotees died during the Kavad Yatra on Wednesday, August 6. These included 50 -year -old Chatur Singh of Panchmahal district of Gujarat, 65 -year -old Ishwar Singh of Rohtak in Haryana and 57 -year -old Dilip Singh of Raipur. The cause of death is said to be heart attack and sudden dizziness.
Arrangement of 4,000 people and 5 lakh people reached
- The seriousness of the accident can be understood from the fact that it took one and a half hours to reach the injured to the district hospital. Three hours after the incident, the Health Department and the district administration could not identify the dead.
- More than 5 lakh devotees were involved in the yatra, while the administration was able to arrange only 4,000 people to stay. The Indore-Bhopal highway led to a 27 km long jam, which shows the lack of system.
