CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In the wake of the tragic stampede incident in Bengaluru, the Karnataka High Court has taken serious note and posed nine critical questions to the state government. The court’s intervention comes amid growing concerns over lapses in crowd management and administrative negligence that may have contributed to the loss of lives and injuries.
The High Court has sought clarity on the planning, safety protocols, and response mechanisms employed during the event that led to the stampede. Among the questions are inquiries into the number of attendees, emergency arrangements, police deployment, and prior permissions granted for the gathering.
The bench emphasized that public safety cannot be compromised, especially during large-scale public events. It also asked for details about accountability, preventive measures in place, and whether prior warnings were ignored. The court has given the state a set timeframe to respond with a detailed report.
This judicial scrutiny marks a significant moment, pressing the government for transparency and responsibility. The incident has sparked public outrage and debate about governance, safety regulations, and the preparedness of civic authorities during mass events.
