10 dead in Indian temple stampede

At least 10 people killed and 20 injured in a stampede at a temple in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand.

SIA reports that Pilgrims were marking a Hindu religious festival in Deoghar town.

It happened as pilgrims tried to make their way into the complex, a district official told BBC Hindi.

Deadly stampedes are common during Indian religious festivals, which attract large crowds with few safety measures in place.

Many tried to rush to the head of the queue which led to chaos and as some of them fell, the devotees got trampled.
