The Tragic Stampede at Guru Bhole Baba’s Sermon in Uttar Pradesh: What Went Wrong and What Needs to Be Done

In Uttar Pradesh, a stampede occurred at a sermon hosted by Guru Bhole Baba in Hathras. The event attracted over 250,000 people, which was more than three times the number allowed by authorities.
