Patna: In the aftermath of the tragic stampede at the Sheetla Mata Temple in Maghra village of Nalanda district, in which 8 people were killed, the administration has taken strict action against police personnel for alleged negligence that led to the tragedy.
Following preliminary findings of serious security lapses, Nalanda Superintendent of Police, Bharat Soni, suspended the Station House Officer (SHO) of Deepnagar Police Station, Rajmani, with immediate effect.
Additionally, four other police personnel have also been suspended for dereliction of duty.
Initial investigations revealed alarming gaps in crowd management.
The temple premises were left largely unmanaged. The security responsibility was handled by a single watchman, and senior officials were not informed on time despite rising crowd pressure. (IANS)
