Bhopal: At least 60 people were killed and more than 100 others were injured in a stampede in Datia district of MadhyaPadesh Sunday morning as devotees thronged a temple on the last day of the Navratri festival, a senior police officer said.
A large number of devotees had thronged the Ratangarh temple of goddess Durga for prayers, when the stampede occurred following over-crowding on a narrow bridge across the Sindh river.
An eyewitness said police personnel used batons to control the surging crowd and this led to the crowd stampeding.
In the stampede, some of the devotees are feared to have fallen off the bridge into the fast flowing river below.
