A massive stampede occurred at a religious event in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India, resulting in at least 107 deaths, with the majority being women and children. The incident happened during a 'Satsang' religious event in a village in Hathras. The authorities suspect that the stampede was triggered by discomfort among attendees due to the humid and hot weather, leading to panic. The exact cause is still under investigation, and a committee has been formed to look into the tragic event. This highlights the lack of safety measures at religious gatherings in India, with similar incidents occurring in the past, like the 2018 Hindu festival stampede where 60 people died and the 2013 stampede that claimed 115 lives.
