There was chaos during the program of Bhojpuri cinema superstar Khesari Lal Yadav in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar when a crowd of thousands went out of control. Wanting to get a glimpse of their favorite star and get closer to him, the audience created a ruckus, turning the entire venue into a battlefield.
According to the information, a large number of people had reached there even before the program started. As soon as Khesari Lal Yadav reached the stage, the crowd suddenly started moving forward. People broke the barricades and ran towards the stage. The situation became so bad that the program had to be stopped midway.
During the uproar, the miscreants broke chairs and vandalized the venue. Stampede-like situations occurred at many places, creating an atmosphere of fear among the people. According to eyewitnesses, some people were trying to climb the stage, due to which the security arrangements completely collapsed.
During this time, the policemen deployed had to work hard to control the situation. Several policemen were injured while attempting to control the crowd. The injured soldiers were immediately admitted to the nearest hospital, where their treatment is going on.
Police officials say that adequate security arrangements were made for the event, but the crowd was more than expected, due to which the situation went out of control. At present the police is investigating the matter and the people involved in the disturbance are being identified.
After the incident, questions are also being raised on the organizers. Local people say that despite such a large crowd, proper security arrangements were not made. If there had been better management earlier, such a situation could have been avoided.
This incident has once again exposed the security arrangements at big events. The administration is now talking about implementing strict guidelines for such programs in future, so that such incidents are not repeated.
At present the situation is under control, but this uproar has created a sensation in the area and people are waiting for the administration to take action on the whole matter.
