Himachal temple stampede claims 146 lives
In the worst-ever temple tragedy in Himachal Pradesh, 146 devotees, including 30 children and 38 women, were killed and more than 50 injured on Sunday in a stampede at the Naina Devi shrine triggered by rumours of a landslide. The bodies, mostly of people from Patiala, reached Bhai Jaitta civil hospital in Anandpur Sahib, Punjab, which is about 40km from the temple site, for post mortem, Ropar Deputy Commissioner B Purshartha told PTI.
