Hundreds die in stampede in Jodhpur temple
September 30, 2008
Eyewitnesses said as some devotees slipped on the 75-metre slope, others fell on each other causing the stampede.
"Many of those killed died due to suffocation as a result of the stampede," Principal Secretary (Home) S N Thanvi said in Jaipur.
Some pilgrims blamed the local administration for the incident, saying proper arrangements should have been made well in advance as everyone knew that the temple draws huge crowd on such occasions.
