Indians Killed In Haj Tragedy

The number of Indians killed in a stampede at the Haj has risen to 45 with authorities identifying 10 more bodies among the victims of the worst tragedy in 25 years to hit the annual pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

For many Muslim families, the occasion of Eid al-Adha was a day of grief rather than celebrations. The stampede in Mina, outside the holy city of Mecca, two days ago, claimed the lives of more than 700 including 18 Indians on annual Haj pilgrimage.

Eighteen Indians have died in the stampede outside the holy city of Mecca that killed 717 Haj pilgrims from different countries two days ago.
