قضاء · سلامة الحشود في كولكاتاتدافع كولكاتا: توقيف سبعة فيما تواجه قواعد الحشود الجديدة اختبارها الأولكُتب 19 أكتوبر 2026 في 5:32 ص UTCشاهدالنص المفرّغ0:07Police have arrested seven people after Kolkata's deadly festival crush.0:11On October 17th, we reported detentions and a promised investigation.0:15Visitors are returning as inspectors check exits and police impose rain rules.0:20The test is whether those changes protect crowds and lead to accountability.0:24Inspectors began at Santosh Mitra Square near Seal Daws Station and also visited0:29Talapratye in North Kolkata.0:31They examine entry and exit gates, lighting, and crowd plans.0:34Their wider assignment includes structural safety at major festival pavilions across0:38West Bengal.0:39Fire Services Chief Anuj Sharma said food stalls must stay away from gates.0:43He also described a committee decision to end separate VIP entry, freeing that route0:48as another way out when crowds swell.0:50Chief Minister Suvindu Adikari also called for an end to special access lines.0:55At popular pavilions, those lanes can remain relatively clear while ordinary0:58visitors face the main crowd.1:00Some venues sell passes for that access.1:03Turning a privileged lane into an exit can give people another escape route.1:07Organizers have also been told to widen exits, improve lighting, and remove1:10bottlenecks created by temporary rope enclosures.1:13Officials haven't shown that every venue has made those changes.1:17Police's eleven-point advisory requires entrances to close during rain, with1:21visitors already inside brought out safely.1:24Officers must stay at their posts, even in a downpour.1:27Admissions must match conditions, and venues must have adequate lighting.1:32Police must monitor organizers' announcements and prevent abrupt route changes.1:36Each officer and constable must coordinate with five or six committee volunteers.1:40Ropes, guardrails, and small loudspeakers must be ready.1:43VIP vehicles must park at a designated distance.1:46Nine experienced Indian Police Service officers have been assigned crowd management1:50duties.1:51They come from traffic, intelligence, and investigative posts.1:54Kolkata has roughly 3,500 festival pavilions, making staffing decisions1:59consequential far beyond the venue where the crush happened.2:01Tala Pratyeh announced a temporary closure, citing administrative instructions2:06Alipur Sarbayanin, Chetla Agrani, and Ballygunj Sarbayanin also suspended or2:11restricted entry.2:12Santosh Mitra Square's committee asked people not to visit for the time being.2:16Some Salt Lake committees stopped admitting visitors, and an Allen Park show on Park2:21Street was canceled.2:22Other pavilions began receiving visitors again on Sunday.2:25Those October 18 announcements can't tell visitors which venues remain closed now,2:30or what changed before reopening.2:32Gatherings on roads around Chorbagan are prohibited until October 20 under an order2:36from Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Nand.2:39Police dispersed onlookers at the site.2:41Some residents requested permission for worship without celebrations.2:45Senior officials were to consider that request.2:47The subsequent Police Sherits list contains 19 people who died.2:51On October 17th, we reported a minimum of 17, alongside conflicting official remarks2:57giving 19.2:58The later list doesn't explain that earlier difference or settle a final toll.3:02The list describes 13 female victims, including two minors.3:06A separate breakdown gives four children and 11 women.3:09Those age and sex categories can overlap.3:12The earlier provisional description of the victims should no longer be treated as3:15complete.3:15Among those killed were seven-year-old Ayans Kumar Srivastava and his father,3:20Abhishek, who was 38.3:22A seven-year-old girl had also been identified in the earlier official account.3:26Injury figures still don't line up.3:28Earlier figures counted 25 receiving treatment and about 35 transported to Calcutta3:33Medical College Hospital.3:35Other estimates reached about 40.3:37Sunday's totals still use 25, or more than two dozen.3:40These measurements overlap and can't be added together.3:4314 patients were transferred to Apollo hospitals.3:46Sunday afternoon's hospital update described 12 as stable, with 5 in intensive care.3:51A stable patient can still need intensive care.3:54There's still no update on the patient earlier described as critical.3:58Police say video captures an announcement telling visitors to leave because the4:02structure was about to collapse.4:03They're trying to identify who made it and why.4:06Investigators haven't confirmed that a collapse occurred.4:09The crush happened during Mahasap Tami on October 17th at the Chorbagan Sarbawaning4:14Pavilion, also known as Sarada Park.4:16It's near Muktaram Babu Street and Chittoranjan Avenue in North Kolkata.4:20Rain and dense crowds feature throughout the preliminary investigation.4:24Police described narrow gates and a narrow approach road, inadequate police and4:28private security staffing, and no clear crowd plan.4:32They say instructions were handled verbally and people tried to escape through the4:36entrance.4:37These are preliminary investigative findings.4:39Adikari now describes one opening used for both entry and exit, divided by a4:44handheld rope.4:45He alleges temporary home guards dropped the rope and sought shelter when rain4:49began.4:50He also described dim lighting and requested the guards' names.4:54Those guards had also worked during the 2024 and 2025 festivals.4:58Adhikari's account changes the earlier emphasis on an exit gate, but investigators5:02still have to reconstruct the sequence.5:04Other preliminary accounts describe private security staff blowing whistles.5:08Rain, the collapse warning, and whistles may all have affected movement.5:11Police haven't established their precise order.5:14Investigators collected CCTV and witness statements, and forensic experts gathered5:18evidence Saturday night.5:20Further forensic visits and interviews with survivors were planned for Sunday.5:23A local court sent seven accused to 10 days of police custody on October 18th.5:29They include the committee secretary and vice president, and two private security5:33employees.5:34Fourteen people had initially been detained.5:36Seven were subsequently arrested.5:38Police opened the case themselves at Girish Park, including a charge of culpable5:42homicide not amounting to murder.5:44The allegations still have to be tested in court.5:48The investigation is also to examine organizers and the authorities that approve the5:51arrangements.5:52Locals have also alleged that officers were concentrated near VIP access.5:57Investigators need to examine staffing and command decisions alongside admission6:01planning and venue approval.6:03Responsibility extends to the decisions that shaped the arrangements people6:06encountered.6:07The proposed judge-led inquiry still needs the Calcutta High Court's permission.6:11Adikari said the Chief Secretary would write to the Chief Justice.6:14He also said Kolkata police officials would be excluded because their own role is6:18under question.6:19The Preventive Inspection Committee is already working.6:21The separate judicial investigation still awaits permission and an appointed judge.6:25Earlier references to a task force and the newer special investigation team wording6:30describe that proposal, they don't mean two judicial inquiries have been appointed.6:33On October 17th, we reported that Jayanta Banerjee resigned after the crush, taking6:38moral responsibility.6:39That timing is now disputed.6:41His resignation is also dated to July after 15 years as General Secretary, so it6:46can't safely be counted as a consequence of the disaster.6:48Academic Mukulika Banerjee argues that police were diverted to other duties,6:53including Home Minister Amit Shah's visit.6:55That's an allegation about deployment rather than an investigative finding about the6:59cause.6:59Shah's planned hospital visit did take place at Apollo.7:02Opposition parties accused the administration of inadequate emergency arrangements7:05and ruling party influence over the committee.7:07Those accusations, and the administration's focus on organizers, still need to be7:12tested against who authorized the venue and deployed its staff.7:15The state promised 25 lakh rupees and a government job for each deceased victim's7:20family.7:21The newer description specifies a Group D post.7:24Injured people were promised 5 lakh rupees each, with the state covering their full7:28treatment costs.7:29Prime Minister Narendra Modi separately announced 2 lakh rupees for each deceased7:33person's next of kin and 50,000 rupees per injured person.7:37Those national relief payments are separate from the state's promises.7:41Durgapuja continues, With restricted admissions where necessary and subdued bijoya7:46observances, a toned-down post-festival gathering with Kolkata and suburban7:50committees is planned for October 26.7:53At the venues, enforcement of the new reign and exit rules is still the immediate7:57test.7:58Adikari said on october 18th that he planned to visit bereaved families over the8:02next two days and hand over compensation checks.8:05Families are still waiting for confirmation that the promised money, treatment8:09support, and government jobs have been delivered.اقرأ المقالالتسلسل الزمني للقصةHeyDexالمقطع القصير ↗من نقل ماذانقاط نقلتها أكثر من وسيلة إعلامية✓Deaths in the Kolkata crowd crushمؤكد من
