A stampede at the Tirupati Balaji temple in Andhra Pradesh has led to the deaths of six people. The incident occurred last night when a large crowd of devotees gathered to collect tokens for the Vaikuntha Dwara darshan, resulting in chaos as people scrambled to move forward. The stampede raised serious questions about the temple's arrangements for managing large crowds. The token distribution for the Vaikuntha Dwara darshan was scheduled to begin this morning, with several counters set up for the process. However, the crowd began to form from the evening before, continuously growing, ultimately leading to the tragic incident. This has raised concerns about the adequacy of security measures in place at the temple during peak times.
