The Uttar Pradesh Government has formed a three-member judicial commission, led by former Allahabad High Court Judge Brijesh Kumar Srivastav, to investigate the Hathras stampede that claimed over 120 lives. The commission will examine aspects such as crowd control measures and recommend preventive actions. Various legal pleas have been initiated in response to the tragic incident.
A PIL filed in the Supreme Court seeks a court-monitored investigation into the Hathras stampede, urging the formation of a high-level committee supervised by a retired Supreme Court judge. The catastrophe, resulting in around 121 deaths, occurred during a crowded satsang. The petition also highlights past stampede incidents in India and requests urgent preventive measures from the Supreme Court.
