The crowd started to build up a protest on Saturday, when irate residents showed their anger with slogans reiterating the careless mismanagement of the state government near Ram Gulam Chowk just outside the Gandhi Maiden. The protest has then ended and cleared the traffic when the police decided to use mild force over the crowd.
In the capital city of Patna, people were aggravated as they raise their slogans showing their maddening emotion against the government on the main roads of Bihar on Saturday. The well-known festival of Hindu celebrating the good over evil unfortunately brought about a deadly stampede taking the lives of 33 people.
To keep this matter under control, the commandos of Bihar Military Police along with the Rapid Action Force had to make a massive deployment.
The same thing happened outside the streets of Patna Medical College and Hospital where an angry mob protested against the lack of proper care and medical assistance for the wounded victims caused by the stampede. Affected families and friends were not allowed to simply visit nor watch over their injured loved ones.
There were 17 women, 11 children and 5 men killed where 32 lost their lives on the spot but totaled to 33 when the last victim was injured and eventually died.
It is reported that there is another side of the story, a rooted conspiracy according to Mahachnadra Prasad Singh, public health and engineering administer. He added that the function was highly organized which started and ended peacefully until someone spread a rumor that a live wire fell on the area. He is then demanding a keen investigation on the cause of the stampede to know what the true story is.
Bihar has been in succession of these tragedies like in October of last year where 7 people were killed in a BJP rally in Gandhi Maidan as terrorists attacked the event. Prior to that, in November of 2012, 17 people have been killed in another stampede during the Hindu festival. Such unfortunate events must be lessons for their administration to prevent these things from happening again.
