  • The stampede took place as there were 100,000 people in the procession and the place could not accommodate this number.

    The permission had been taken for only 3,000 people.

    The overcrowding led to the downward push of the people which led to the death of people and then a stampede ensued.

    People panicked and began running in opposite directions causing the accident.
