More than 100 people have been killed in a crush at a religious gathering in northern India, officials have said.
The incident took place at a satsang (a Hindu religious event) in Hathras district in Uttar Pradesh state.
The victims, including a large number of women and some children, are still being identified.
Survivors have described how the disaster unfolded as they tried to leave the event in Mughalgarhi village.
A spokesperson for a senior police officer in Uttar Pradesh told the BBC it would "take hours to release the final tally", but confirmed at least 100 dead.

Hot in a tent = stampede
Yes, because people are too stupid to leave a tent before they become delirious…LOL
All governments have lost their minds…hehehhe
hot curry smelling tent 😂 3rd world countries are so useless and India being a useless 3rd world is great, if only Western countries stop trades with India the better
religious lunatics in a 3rd World area who are poorly educated= stampede
People gather together for religion and that’s exactly how they die. It’s quite ironic. Still sad it happened. My condolences
For people who thing religion is above than common sense
Ironic,isn’t it ?!😢
Hospitals haven’t got any doctor only one doctor was there
Hospital was not expecting bunch of idiots will be doing this
In your Pakistan?
@@realist91 bhikharistan
All the doctors have emigrated for work ; unfortunately; esp Uk
Because they vote for Hindu-Muslim
Mass religious gatherings seem prone to going badly wrong.
We’re talking about a crowd of people congregating to celebrate their mutual imaginary friend…

Come for heaven, but stay in hell..
Mass religions seem prone to going badly wrong.
(there fixed it)
Have you seen crowd control at religious gatherings? Have you ever seen fire safety/occupancy limits enforced at a religious gathering?
Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives today.
They were replaced in 12 seconds.

@@kintama3453 The point made was that life has no value in India and when my nephew was dying of leukaemia the nurse told my sister you can have another child.
No thank you.
Stop going to overcrowded events with terrible safety measures!
That’s almost a perfect description of India!
And wash your hands! And stop littering! India, are you listening?
@@castorchua Unfortunately they’re not!
@@castorchua come on man, atleast be a lil bit kind. Ppl died and their families r in so much pain. If u can’t say something compassionate then don’t say anything specially in situations like this. I hope whatever is making ur life miserable,gets better soon.
@@bunny19-xk5mj This is far from a tragedy in the scheme of things. If religious mass hysteria causes a death-inducing stampede, the population is simply self regulating. I’m doing fine though, thanks 🙂
overpopulation is the biggest problem in india
Very true! It’s at the root of so many of India’s current and future problems, and census models predict that India’s population will peak at 1.7 billion within the next few decades! How will they cope then? Their cities are already choking and congested gas chambers that are running out of water, and if Indians thought youth unemployment was high now just wait another ten years!! It is what it is!
Better keep praying to those cows!!
in the world! no just an indian problem. collectively there are far too many of us!
@@ksrawat88 gov intervention is needed
The problem of India is Hinduism killing atheism
@@ksrawat88 We did,our fertility rate is below replacement level.
Over 1,000 died due to heat also but was not mentioned.
Who cares? There is no value of life in India.
@@GodzHarleyGirlStudio that’s a different story. My grandmother’s parrot died last week and that wasn’t mentioned as well
Plz dont follow unnecessary superstitious things
Peoples r poor and they don’t have hope in life so all these guru brain wash them to have better life.
@@pennyc8252 you’re just stupid.
@@pennyc8252 yup exactly, they look for higher power to solve there problems, but in reality, they are on there own…..
Its sad what happened to all the women and children. People should stop being mean to them and insulting their religion.
But that’s what westerner r good at recism ,discriminating and prejudicing against other nd considering themselves as superior to others..here I didn’t saw a single comment abt condolences..all r just ranting abt religion Hindus , India
It’s sad what happened to all the men, women and children.
@@lorddavidlawrence Accept your sentiments but surely it is individual and parental responsibility to avoid crowded spaces. It is also blind faith which fuels these tragedies.
Religion insults people 😂
All religions are to blame for this and countless others throughout history.. This one I blame on the god Hanuman .. it’s 2024 and these folks still hang on to centuries old bullshit
It’s always the poor and the needy who attend all these religious gatherings in India. They believe that they could overcome the poverty and suffering they endure in their daily lives.
They can overcome on poverty by choosing right Govt and Right ppl instead of giving votes based on Religion and Cast system
@@skywalker0735 Exactly so. Very true in most religion dominated countries.
@@skywalker0735I am an Indian and how I wish that was what people here did. But they don’t.
@@dabey873 From America, I totally agree. Can we get some leadership without the fairy tales please?
Hindus need to learn how to plan religious festivals like Muslims do during Hajj
Does the Indian government even care? I mean, look at Delhi airport. Biggest bloody joke ever. And wanting to compete with other countries.
And bridges in Bihar to include
@@sairohitttt5 bridges collapsed in less than 10 days💀

there’s way too much systemic corruption here but we can’t do anything or else we’ll be called anti-national. this is coming from a taxpayer in this 3rd world country btw.
Vishwaguru 😂😂😂😂 my d%%
116 have been died so far, and many injured and few missing !
Poverty is driving people to attend those religious gatherings in India.
Like this is new? It’s always been the most poor and least educated that flock to mythology as a way of life, and in India, that’s 98% of their WAY TOO MANY humans theyu keep making.
Yep, you are correct. Poverty and affluence both drive people to attend such religious gatherings, for different reasons though.
What about the death at Macca
Why do you people sit on roads for namaaz
@@user-cz5ze3kn3oHeat was the issue, not dancing like apes
The result of the blind faith. 😢😢😢😢😢
Result of mismanagement, nothing to do with faith
Right saying
@devamjani8041 ayoo even now u r not accepting?
It’s only due to blind faith n uneducated
You may be uneducated in your cult. Remember you’re insulting the oldest religion in the world. Not like 1000’s dying in Mecca.
Idiot!
Unfortunately not the first time, this has happened before in uttar Pradesh during kumbh mela.
And yet management is so bad that it happened again. Authorities should be asked about their mismanagement. Anyway my condolences to people who lost their families.

Kumbh is the worst thing that happens in India
Who cares
@@ashrafulanam7882Hinduism should be banned in India
@@lnoorplaylistbecause yogi only focus on action against muslims
Every Kumbh Mela several people die in the crush. This is the norm. Still people flock to crowded places without a care for their safety.

I’m Indian origin living in U.K more than 61years,I hope people understand before gathering like this,there are so many FAKE like this guru
@@nathupatel3782 Yep, I agree. There are too many fake babas making exploiting Indian naivety and stupidity
Go back to your country ….
exactly. True bhakhti is staying at home ans paying
Once a guru came to my district too, we didn’t know him , but because of all advertisement, our whole city went there , and I experienced something like suffocation there for the 1st time like I am going too die it happened when his speech ended and everyone is rushing at the doors , I was child back then .
@@Rivertalk229what you felt was the 1st stage of the grave. Time to think about the truth, Islam
Same happened in Hajj this year in Saudi and hindu extremists were celebrating and now same happened to them which is sad but never laugh at someone’s misery
It was started by you all. When uttarakhand got deluged in flood and many Hindu pilgrims died , i found so many people belonging to your so called peaceful community rejoicing over the same and further went on stating that the Qafirs deserve this. So STFU !! EVERYONE KNOWS WHICH COMMUNITY REPRESENTS THE MAJORITY NUMBER OF EXTREMISM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
Only blood thirsty, raping, looting, murdering muhammad and his brain washed followers laugh at other peoples misery.
