  2. #WATCH | Kolkata's Chorbagan Sarbojanin Durga Puja stampede incident | West Bengal Minister Umesh Rai says, "This is a deeply painful and tragic incident. Today, on the occasion of Maha Saptami, a large number of people had stepped out to visit Durga Puja pandals. At this particular pandal in Chorbagan, a sudden downpour prompted a large crowd to seek shelter. Amid the confusion, someone—whether by blowing a whistle or making an announcement—prompted a large number of people to rush into the pandal...The sudden influx of people into the pandal led to the stampede. It is a tragic incident. 17 people have lost their lives, and 25 have been injured. The injured have been taken to various hospitals for proper medical care, and all of them are currently in stable condition. We have cancelled all our scheduled programmes for tomorrow, including those involving the Home Minister, other ministers, MLAs and the Chief Minister. Our entire government stands with the affected families durin...Oct 17 UTC

This is a very painful incident, and 25 people have also sustained injuries; their treatment is ongoing. 24 of them are out of danger, while one is critical. We are providing the best possible medical treatment. Following this incident, I immediately came to the Medical College along with the entire government administration... The place of occurrence has been sealed. The forensic team, STF, and fire brigade are conducting the initial investigation there. This happened partly due to the rain, and there were also some shortcomings in the arrangements made by the puja committee inside. The Kolkata Police AFS is studying the CCTV footage. Whoever is found negligent will face legal action. The Prime Minister has been informed about this. The Ho...Oct 17 UTC

  7. #WATCH | Kolkata's Chorbagan Sarbojanin Durga Puja stampede incident | West Bengal Minister Umesh Rai says, "...Those inclined toward politics will find an opportunity to play politics anywhere; however, I believe that in such adverse circumstances, the most significant humanitarian gesture is to stand by those who are injured and the families who have lost their loved ones. It would be far better to keep politics out of this. As for a message—organizers at all Puja pandals should consider increasing the number of entry and exit points. In areas where crowds are dense or where pandals have been set up in poorly lit (dark) spaces, proper lighting arrangements must be made. With Durga Puja set to continue for the next three to four days, if you notice an excessive crowd at your pandal, take immediate steps to manage it. We want Durga Puja to be celebrated and for people to enjoy themselves, but it is essential that no accidents occur. The organizers of the Durga Puja celebrations mu...Oct 17 UTC
