The incident comes barely ten days after six people were killed in a stampede.

New Delhi: One person was killed and three injured in a stampede during the Sunavesha ceremony in Puri on Sunday.

The incident comes barely ten days after six people were killed in a stampede in the annual Rath Yatra in Puri.

Over ten lakh devotees thronged to witness the festival and in the melee that followed, one person was killed.

The injured are recovering in a hospital. Clearly not the first of its kind, the stampede on Sunday and on July 4 were grim reminders of another that claimed four and injured 19 in November 2006.

What's your reaction?
