Two days before the Vaikuntha Ekadasi festival was set to begin at Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple on Andhra Pradesh’s Tirumala Hills, large crowds descended at over 90 ticket counters set up for the festival. Tirupati Municipal Commissioner N Moruya said the situation went out of control at the counter set up at MGM High School in Bairagipatteda, near the Vishnu Nivasam temple. Around 4,000-5,000 people thronged the counter from Wednesday morning. By the evening, the crowd became unruly, leading to pushing and jostling. Lack of adequate arrangements to manage the crowds resulted in a stampede late Wednesday evening, in which at least six devotees died and over 40 were were injured. Tirupati Collector S Venkateswar told NDTV that it took around 15 minutes to control evacuate the crowd.
