It is very unfortunate that whiles a large number of devotees from far & wide had gathered round Nina Devil temple on Sunday the 3rd of Aug.2008 followed by a huge crowd of devotees who were in queue on the way to reach temple to worship & offer their prayers to the famous deity of Nina Devil situated in Bilaspur District of Himachal Pradesh-one hundred fifty kms away from Shimla faced serious stampede. It is irony of fate & very unfortunate that someone amongst the crowd whispered abut falling of mountain by slipping stone close to the temple lead to disorderly run & huge rush resulting breakage of a boundary linen resulted to serious stampede leading causalities of about One hundred forty-six people or so & over hundreds pilgrims wounded. Had that mischief monger knowingly or unknowingly not uttered about falling of mountain by slipping stone close to the temple, the crowd would not have been disorderly & mismanaged and won’t have lead to serious castrophy by unprecedented stampede and the day would not have witnessed such huge causalities & large number of devotees wounded! The wounded were shifted to the nearest hospitals where they are going under treatment. (Contd.to Page-2)
