Yogi Adityanath meets people injured in Hathras stampede

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday met those who were injured in the Hathras stampede, a senior government official said. The stampede at a religious congregation on Tuesday left 121 people dead and 28 injured. "The chief minister held a meeting with officials in the circuit house and met the injured in district hospitals," the official said. A team consisting of ADG Agra and Aligarh Divisional Commissioner has been constituted to inquire into the cause of the incident. The report is likely to be submitted on Wednesday, the government said. The Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday registered an FIR against the organisers of the congregation, accusing them of hiding evidence and flouting conditions with 2.5 lakh people gathering for the event in which only 80,000 were permitted.
