Eighty-nine people were reportedly killed and a score injured on Sunday, October 13, 2013 in a stampede on a bridge leading to the Hindu temple in Madhya Pradesh state.
About five hundred thousand devotees gathered to celebrate the 10-day Navaratra festival at the Ratangarh temple. Some devotees were crushed to death by other worshipers present at the festival, while others fell into the Sindh River. Efforts by the medics to get to the victims proved abortive as they struggled to reach victims amid rumors of possible collapse of the bridge.
