@channelnewsasia: At least 19 people, including a seven-year-old girl, were killed and 25 others injured in a stampede at a Hindu religious gathering in Kolkata, India, on Saturday (Oct 17). The tragedy unfolded during Durga Puja celebrations when sudden heavy rain led to overcrowding near a pavilion's exit gate. Police said people began pushing and rushing forward, causing some to fall to the ground. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage to investigate possible crowd-control lapses. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a compensation payment of 200,000 rupees (US$2,106.15) for the next of kin of those who died and 50,000 rupees each for the injured. #india #indianews #stampede

A gathering meant for faith and peace ending in such a tragedy is heartbreaking. No one should lose their life simply for attending a religious event. 💔
