A horrific stampede has reportedly claimed the lives of several devotees at the Venkateswara Swamy temple in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, has sent shockwaves across the region. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has extended his deepest sympathies to the families affected by this tragic event. He has also directed officials to ensure that those injured receive prompt and adequate medical treatment. This unfortunate incident brings to mind a similar tragedy that occurred in Tamil Nadu’s Karur a few months prior, where a stampede during a political rally led to numerous fatalities.
