Stampedes happen even in Mecca almost every year. The places of worship in India perticularly in Temples , is totally disorganised. The whole country called India itself is a very disorganised country. We have to organise ourselves properly which is what we have to learn from Americans and Europians. The stampede occured in so many temples which includes Andhra , that you would lose count of them. In one instance, collector level idiot conducted a special pooja and the entire devotees queue was stopped for hours.
Finally when they were let go the floor was wet ,slipped and fell while they ran helter ,skelter to be first, and ended up dying under the feet their fellow devotees. so a hundred people died.
Each time govt. will come up with some excuse. The announce a compensation of RS.one lakh and that is the end of it. What about organising ,managing large queues,gatherings at festivals,at temples ??
I think HP cheif minister must be forced to resign , so that politicians learn a lesson and would take certain measures in all temples so that devotees are taken good care of by temple's administration.
They only know to eat the devotees money from the HUNDI and give nothing back.

1) God is everywhere. Both Hindus & Muslims should pray to respective Gods while sitting safe inside home with family members and with full devotion. (2) Donate money which you save from Ticket cost and other expenses to poors. (3) Prevent Flights/trains/buses from becoming over crowded espacially during holy months and allow safe mode of travel to those who have true need to travel. (4) Save time & energy
