A night of celebration has turned into a devastating tragedy at Kolkata’s Sarada Park (Chorbagan) Durga Puja pandal. The pandal had gone viral on social media, drawing huge crowds eager to witness its attractions. According to reports, as rain drove visitors towards sheltered areas, the sudden rush reportedly triggered a stampede-like situation, leaving 19 people dead and 25 injured, 1 in critical condition.

Authorities have reportedly ordered the immediate closure of other puja pandals across Kolkata. 📢 Kolkata Police Activated Helplines: 📞 1800-345-5678 📞 033-2214-1310 May Maa Durga heal the injured and give strength to families who lost their loved ones 🙏
