'Management tried to make the crowd understand': B Praak after stage collapses at Delhi temple event
Indian singer B Praak has expressed grief over the stage collapse incident at Delhi's Kalkaji Temple, where he was performing.
In the tragic incident, a woman died and 17 people were injured after a stage for seating devotees at a jagran collapsed, media reports said.
Several clips of the jagran are surfacing the internet showing a huge crowd inside the tightly packed venue.
In addition, devotees were seen climbing up on the main stage where B Praak was singing bhajans.
Reacting to the incident, B Praak shared a video on his Instagram stories.
“Bahut hi dukh hua. Bahut hi mayus hu main. Kyunki pehli baar maine aisa dekha hai apne samne hota hua. Bada dukhi mann hai mera, bahut zyada. Kyunki aisa kabhi hona nahi chahiye tha aur main yahi umeed karta hu ki jinko lagi hai, wo sab theek ho. Management ko aage se bahut dhyan rakhna hai, bahut zyada (I am very, very sad because this was never supposed to happen. I wish all those injured a speedy recovery. The management will have to be very cautious in future)," he said.
"The management tried to make the crowd understand and asked them to move back but it's your love for the Goddess and me. Going forward, we have to be very careful and take the utmost care of the kids, the elderly and everybody else."
"There is nothing more valuable than life and can never be. We have to be very careful that our life is never at risk. We will come again when the goddess calls us, but will have to be very careful," he said.
The police have registered a case against the event's organisers for causing death by negligence and endangering the safety of people.
