Religion Kills


A stampede at a Hindu temple in Northern Uttar Pradesh has caused the deaths of at least 63 people:
Police in India have lodged a case of criminal negligence against the managers of a Hindu temple where at least 63 people died in a stampede.

All of the dead identified so far are women and children, police say. The temple gate was still being built.
Here's CNN's coverage of the incident:

This is not the first time that there's been a stampede at a temple in India. Just unfortunate that this kind of thing continues to happen.
