India: Rush cases four lives in Kerala | Most recent News.
this is of course a bit of a breaking news that is coming where in the Indian state of Kerala there's been a report of a stampede where four students have been killed at a at the koi University and also there are reports that at least about 60 students have been injured in the Stampede the tragedy occurred during the University's anniversary celebrations this was some kind of a college Festival program where the Stampede happened and our correspondent Sidharth MP is of course joining us with more details on this story Siddharth this is a very tragic incident that that seems to have happened where four students been killed at a stampede at a music fest in cochin what more information do we have yes indeed as you pointed out very tragic news coming in from Kerala they were there for an event in fact the celebrate it was part of their college Techfest celebration so it was not just the students of the kin uh University for Science and Technology that had gathered there in fact students from various other colleges nearby had also gathered So based on initial reports and estimates there were just about 2,000 people at the event uh students of course young men and young women who are there to uh celebrate and enjoy the evening uh there was a singer who was performing um so Nikita Gandhi is the singer's name so this famous playback singer was performing there and what we given to understand based on initial reports is that it had rained at the venue was an open air venue and people had rushed to towards one gate it was locked or that's what the initial Reports say and that the moment that gate was opened it led to a flight of stairs and that's where this unfortunate incident had taken place where people were rushing for shelter but in a hurry apparently a stumpage had taken place at the flight of St perhaps people had slipped and fell there or whatever however these are just initial reports but one thing that we understand is that at least four people have lost their lives a little more than 50 students are hospitalized in this connection and based on what k government officials themselves say the U you know condition of a couple of students are quite critical so this is very bad information coming in that you know on a evening like this where students are barely there to celebrate and have a good time but such a tragedy is unfolded four young lives already having been lost to this tragedy and it appears to be a student event because College Tix are generally student run events and they happen on campus so these are not like private events that happen outside in a city that are open to public you know it's so tragic that this has happened inside of a College University campus but do we know as to what has actually resulted in the stamped because colleges have these huge grounds in which the in which these concerts are held and and generally arrangements are made pretty well but what went wrong this time around do we have any information on that front so at this point in time we have this very basic information and uh in regard to that I can say that this event actually took place at an open venue and as you rightly point out it was quite a spacious venue for the kind of crowd that had turned up initial estimates say that 2,000 students had turned up over there not just from the C sat you know University kin University but also those from nearby colleges which is the nor in of Texas because that's a place where students from various colleges compete and interact and so on but of course this was the end of the day and this was an evening event obviously a concert so more people would have turned up but it's not overcrowding that seems to have caused this issue but some I believe that there was rain that uh you know fell on the venue and given that this was an open air venue students had rushed away from the conquer venue to a nearby place for shelter so as as in when they were rushing for shelter that's where this incident seems to have occurred because we're also looking at some of the images coming from that place and it appears that there are a flight of stairs exactly at the place where this incident has taken place so that's where a lot of Footwear are sawn across and it shows that you know that's the place where this incident took place and you know as more more and more people rushed to shelter and perhaps few of them slipped and fell and more of them followed so that's what seems to have been the case and this is of course based only on initial reports so that's what we have for now moment absolutely indeed thank you very much indeed for joining us and getting us the details in terms of what has happened this very tragic incident where at least four students we given to understand have been killed in a tragic Stampede and there are 60 other students who are set to been injured and some of them are very badly injured a couple of them are said to be in a critical condition and this happened at a Music Fest at a concert that was taking place within the premises of the Ken University Von is now available in your country download the app now and get all the news
