00:00more visuals coming in we're showing you that exact area where later on which this very area
00:06is the street which was shown with with the body strewn over strewn all over so this very moment
00:13is the moment of stamping you can see people are almost in a deadlock they can't even move from
00:19there and that's how ladies started the women started falling over there are aged people there
00:24children there women there these are the this is the exact moment of that very tragedy striking
00:30them uh viewers we are bringing to you this very visual from the temple premise itself right at the
00:37very time of the tragedy let me now cut across to my colleague uh apurva who will bring us more
00:42information in time in terms of what exactly went down uh and the permission that was not taken from
00:49the government for this very gathering to uh come about and to celebrate the very festivities
00:54uh apurva what exactly are we learning on that front the the private temple doesn't fall under
01:01the endowment department it doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of that department and they did
01:06not take approvals for the gathering this entire thing came about the entire stampede came about
01:11at a place where the gathering was in an under construction area so many details coming to the
01:16forefront if you could just take us through them that's right yeah in fact what you can see is
01:21that we have now access the important information there with respect to why the stampede had happened
01:28in fact what we're getting learned is that number one the stampede took place at the area at this temple
01:33which was not a government-owned temple it doesn't come under the environment board it's a private temple
01:38there and number two there wasn't any uh you know permissions that had been taken by the temple
01:44authorities there for uh you know uh gathering of these large numbers uh like i mentioned uh at temples
01:51you usually get over thousand thousand five hundred devotees but the numbers that you can clearly see
01:56on these screens out there definitely show that it is way more than over three thousand four thousand
02:02people who had gathered there and we're also getting to learn that you know there hadn't been any prior
02:08permission that had been taken by this private temple there there wasn't any authorities who had
02:13been informed made over the police informed made over the district authorities informed for
02:18permissions to be taken for these these kinds of crowds to gather usually there is a protocol that
02:24that is set in place for temples you know we've seen time and again whenever there are mass gatherings
02:31that take place for festival times it is usually after there is prior permissions that have been taken
02:36so it looks like this private temples had failed to take you know permissions for these kinds of crowds to have gathered today as well and more importantly we are getting to learn that you know these uh these number of crowds that had gathered there they gathered at this area where there was already construction that was going on in this set temple and it was in this area of construction where it looks like the railing had broken leading to these people who are
03:06you know unfortunately have lost their lives and you can also see from the visuals people struggling over there as well we are noticing a lot of napses that have been uh taken place at this particular point just from these visuals you can see how you know the railing that is being broken uh for people to get access to you know a skin from that area as well number two uh you know the the fact that there hadn't been any prior permissions that had been taken by officials of this temple and the
03:36that definitely uh you know the fact that definitely brings a lot of questions to the forefront as to why so many people were allowed how is it that they had failed to take permissions and they hadn't asked or informed officials so that there can be permissions there and how is it that so many devotees were allowed to even gather there in the first place all of these questions that are coming to your forefront right now
04:02so these are the facts that we are learning at this given point exclusive information that we are bringing to you viewers uh i'll quickly bring in abdul into the conversation here as well abdul uh you know this is what we are learning in terms of the fact that there was no permission taken from the government in itself for such a gathering uh to take place on this day
04:21and probably why which is which takes us back to our previous conversation that we don't see any authorities trying to manage the crowd in this entire temple premise not one that we have spotted in any of the visuals that we have accessed so far
04:34well yes uh as we speak now uh the visuals that we are seeing at the moment where no uh security official or police officials at the start usually what happens is in the temples when these uh offices locations
04:48the local police are informed about the gathering the tentative amount of gathering that is expected and likewise the arrangements are usually made like i mentioned the crowd management arrangements are usually uh uh uh handled jointly by the temple committee
05:03the endowment staff and the police but preliminary observation that said that sudden inflict in the devotees here uh due to the uh during the karshi kamasam rush
05:14has overwhelmed the system here has overwhelmed the system here and this incident again there's a railing that we are seeing people hanging at a railing there
05:21now here are huge crowds at one particular place no uh no uh no place to move out children and women stuck in between
05:30uh men machine climbing the uh the above railing that was present and uh several others from behind the local crowd or maybe the temple committee
05:39people in a civil uniform trying to push the people outside in the visual as you can see that this incident
05:46when it took place just for the situation at that moment mostly elderlies and children stuck in this particular tragedy
05:53right they can play as well you know in the visuals as well yes abdul in the visuals as well it's it's very clearly visible that it's just the locals helping
06:02or people who have gathered to offer their prayers at the temple them trying to help each other out in this situation
06:09apurva coming back to you the visuals really are disheartening and distressing at this point like
06:15you know as you were mentioning it's an under construction site where the entire uh crowd ended up
06:21gathering it's a it's a narrow stretch of a staircase of sorts that is visible or a ramp probably that's
06:27visible uh which has a railing where we could see people fall off from and then it's just the rest of
06:34them are just locals trying to help each other out at this given point there's no authority that we see
06:39in terms of a security personnel in any of these visuals trying to take a stock of the situation
06:45that's right yeah like i mentioned earlier that is because uh you know this is a private temple there that
06:52uh you know went ahead uh for uh making these kind of arrangements there one they hadn't taken any
07:00permissions from government officials all the district officials and to even conduct uh you know
07:05this festivities in this type of large numbers you know just for even say 100 or 500 people to gather
07:12there are permissions that is taken and from the number of people who have gathered there you can
07:17clearly see that the sheer number of devotees have gathered are easily over you know 2 000 devotees who
07:23have gathered there at this place as well and number two you're also getting to learn that the entry
07:28and exit point for this temple is one and the same so even those people who had gone inside had their
07:36darshan of thoughts and coming out they have to come out to the same area which again caused for
07:41additional chaos additional struggle for those people who were trying to go in and were trying to
07:46get out as well and number three we are getting to learn that you know that you know this is a private
07:52temple there and it is a temple that had been under construction and is under construction currently
07:58and you know in a temple that is under construction to have these kind of crowds that are there where
08:04there is any barricades that are being placed nor were local administration or police in all of these
08:11lapses that are coming to light from this particular temple there definitely raises uh you know questions at this time
08:18absolutely apurva and and these these visuals we are bringing to our viewers consistently i think gives
08:26a very clear picture of what might have gone down there in terms of the mismanagement and the the lack of
08:34planning for such an event that's taken that that was to take place on an auspicious occasion like
08:40akadashi uh during the festival and uh at this given point we have more breaking news that's coming in
08:47viewers let me just quickly take you through that the event organizers didn't take approvals for
08:52any of the gathering the state government was not informed about the event this is what we are in fact
08:57focusing on at this given point
