RE:130 killed in Himachal temple stampede
by Sheetal Kaur on Aug 04, 2008 03:58 PM

Humm,
It depends on what concept one reads Mr Birdi's comment.
There always two sides of the coin.
Reading one side it is a slap on the face of the authorities.
Reading the other side it down right ignorance of facts.
No1) Yes lots of people die in factories,Building sites, road accidents.
what is the authorities doing about the safety of such places and safety of the public places such as places of worship etc.
According to the authorities be it central government, local government or management of the work places or places ow worship it does not matter who go there and who get killed, yes fro them there are 130 less mouths to feed.
These people in high places do think that only idiots vist these places and waste time.
Side no 2)
It is bad to point the finger towards the victim it is not there fault.
These people went to worship in a place that they have belife in, they went in good faith.
The railing was not strong enough to hold the amount of worshiper that visited the temple.
It was weak and gave way, worshiper paniced 9 normar behavior of us humans.
A stempede took place as every one was trying to reach safety and 130 died in the process through none of there fault.
In concolusion it is the authorities both of the government and the temple to blame. for not implimenting correct safety proceedures,inspecting and making safe any dengerous area.
So we cant completly blame Mr Birdi for his comments.
