A marathon organised by a Congress leader in Uttar Pradesh as part of the party's "ladki hun, lad sakti hun (women can fight)" election campaign came close to a stampede of sorts this morning.
In visuals, hundreds of women and teenage girls were seen without masks at the marathon in UP's Bareilly.
The massive crowd of marathon participants - most without masks amid rising COVID-19 cases - filled an entire road. As they started the long run, a few women in the front tripped and fell to the ground, leading to a brief scare as more crowds from the rear pushed those in the front.
The situation almost led to a stampede; no one was injured fortunately.
