New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi today expressed "shock and deep anguish" over the death of 89 devotees in a stampede at a temple in Madhya Pradesh.
"Gandhi has expressed shock and deep anguish over the tragic incident in Ratangarh in Datia District of Madhya Pradesh," an AICC statement quoting the Congress President said.
She extended her condolences to the families who have lost their kin and expressed the hope that the injured are being attended to suitably.
The mishap was apparently caused by rumours that a bridge the people were crossing was about to collapse.
