At least 89 people were injured in a stampede during the annual Urs celebrations of Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar in Pakpattan after overcrowding and mismanagement near the Beheshti Darwaza caused panic among devotees.
According to rescue officials, 25 of the injured were in relatively serious condition and were shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment. Another 64 people received first aid at the site.
The incident occurred when a large number of devotees gathered to pass through the Beheshti Darwaza, a key ritual during the annual Urs. As the crowd swelled, administrative difficulties reportedly led to chaos, triggering a stampede in which several people fell and sustained injuries.
Rescue teams and local authorities responded immediately after the incident and provided medical assistance to the injured. Hospitals in the area declared an emergency and alerted medical staff to deal with the situation.
Officials said the situation is now under control. Authorities are reviewing security and administrative arrangements for the Urs to prevent similar incidents in the future.
