West Bengal: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited SSKM trauma centre to meet the victims of the wall collapse accident in Kachua.

"There was a large crowd at Kachua Loknath temple this year. It started raining heavily in the wee hours and people tried to take shelter at makeshift bamboo stalls on the approach road to the temple. The bamboo structures collapsed after heavy rain. The place was narrow and in the rush, a few persons fell into the pond beside the temple and this created a confusion leading to a stampede-like situation there,"  the chief minister said.
