印度发生踩踏事件 50人死亡
NEW DELHI, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- At least 50 people were killed and more than 100 others injured in a stampede in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh Sunday, a senior police official said.
"The incident happened at a temple in the state's Datia district, where some 500,000 devotees gathered for a religious festival. Between 50 and 60 people have died and over 100 injured. The injured are hospitalized. The
toll1 is likely to rise," Deputy
Inspector2 General of Police D.K. Arya told the media.
Quoting eye-witnesses, some local TV channels reported that the stampede broke out after some devotees jumped queue and police resorted to
baton3 charge to control the crowd.
However, some other media reported the stampede took place after the devotees ran haywire following a
rumor4 that a bridge had
collapsed5, following which many people even jumped on to a
swollen6 river.
A probe has been ordered into the incident, the official said.
State Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced a compensation of 1.5 lakh rupees (3,000 U.S. dollars) each to the families of the deceased.
In the past year, dozens of people were killed in three similar tragedies. In 2011, over 100 died at a festival in the southern state of Kerala.
