A crowd surge at a popular Hindu temple in northern India left at least six people dead and 29 others injured today.
Ambulances ferried the injured to hospital. The incident in the city of Haridwar occurred after a high-voltage electric wire reportedly fell on a temple path, triggering panic among the large crowd of people.
Witnesses say the crowd suddenly started running and trampling each other, including small children.
Thousands of pilgrims had gathered at the Mansa Devi hilltop temple, which is a major site for Hindu devotees.
They were celebrating the holy month of Shravan. Authorities are investigating what caused the overhead wire to collapse.
