In Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh, a stampede during a religious event led by 'Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba' killed at least 121 people and injured over 300. The tragedy occurred near Phulrai village, where a massive crowd exceeded expected attendance. Overcrowding, narrow exits, and boggy conditions from an overflowing drain contributed to the chaos. Authorities have launched an investigation, and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has vowed to identify those responsible. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in managing large public gatherings in India.
