168 killed in stampede at Hindu temple


JODHPUR, India - At least 168 people were killed and 100 injured when thousands of pilgrims stampeded Tuesday at a Hindu temple in the historic town of Jodhpur in western India, officials said. Severe overcrowding apparently caused the crush as more than 12,000 people gathered at the temple to celebrate a Hindu festival, Jodhpur Police Superintendent Malini Agarwal said. At least 168 people were killed in the stampede, said Naresh Pal Gangwar, the district collector. More... Magazine Lane - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Playboy
