NDTV
Hathras Stanpede: Visuals from the local Community Health Centre showed bodies still being brought in buses and tempos.
Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, which made headlines a few years ago for the horrific rape and murder of a Dalit woman, has been in the news again. This time for a stampede at a religious programme that has cost 116 lives. The tragedy is still unfolding and many of the devotees are desperately looking for lost family and friends.
Among those missing is a 15-year-old named Chaya, whose family came to participate in the satsang from Agra. "I have been looking all over for her. My daughter cannot speak. She can only cry," said her anguished mother.
"There were six to seven people who came, my daughter is missing... No one told us where she was, they said she was here and there but I couldn't find her. The police said they don't know anything," she added.
