At least 27 people, including women and three children, were killed after a stampede broke out at a religious event in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras on Tuesday, officials have said.
The stampede occurred during a ‘satsang’ (prayer meeting). Visuals from the Community Health Centre showed several bodies being brought there in buses and tempos in the presence of crying relatives.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken note of the incident and, on his directions, a committee has been set up to investigate the incident.
“We have received 27 bodies, of which 25 are female and two are male. Some injured have also been taken to hospitals. We have heard that there was a stampede during a ‘satsang’,” said Chief Medical Officer, Etah, Dr Umesh Kumar Tripathi.
Senior Superintendent of Police, Etah, Rajesh Kumar said three children were among those killed in the stampede, which broke out in a village within the Sikandra Rao police station limits in Hathras.
“So far, 27 bodies have been sent to the hospital, of which 23 are women and three are children,” Mr Kumar said.
A woman who attended the ‘satsang’ said it was organised in honour of a local guru and the stampede broke out as the crowd began to leave.
In a post on X, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said instructions have been given to officials to conduct relief and rescue operations on a war footing and to provide proper treatment to the injured. Two state ministers, Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary and Sandeep Singh, have left for the village and the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police have also been sent there.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister asked MPs of the ruling NDA to follow the rules of Parliament and ensure that their behaviour on the House floor is exemplary.
On Monday, the Lok Sabha witnessed a massive uproar in the House over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks. The BJP accused the Leader of Opposition of “insulting” the Hindu community. His remarks were expunged today.
Here are the top quotes from PM’s speech:
* Justice to all, appeasement to none is our mantra
* Some are hurt that they lost a 3rd time
* A country becomes developed when aspirations and resolutions of its people are realised
* Our only mission is ‘Nation First’; Our only mission is ‘Bharat First’
* Will work 24X7 for 2047 Viksit Bharat Plan
* The country is seeing our governance… ours is a model of ‘Santushtikaran‘, and not ‘Tushtikaran’
* When we talk about ‘Santushtikaran‘, it means saturation of every scheme, it means reaching the last person
* Congress for the 3rd time in a row could not cross 100 seats
* They (Congress) are trying to build a narrative they they beat us (at the hustings)
* Congress got 99/543, not 99/100
