A stampede at a religious event in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, killed over 100 people, including women and children, during a 'satsang' prayer meeting. The incident was caused by overcrowding and humidity, leading to chaos as people tried to leave. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced compensation for the victims' families and initiated an investigation, with strict action planned against the event organizers. Deadly stampedes at religious gatherings have been a recurring issue in India, with past tragedies including significant casualties at various temples and festivals across the country.
