Crowd Management Omitted in Ashokdham Stampede Report, Families Seek Justice

A glaring omission in the inquiry is the absence of any discussion on crowd management. The stampede occurred during the busy month of Shravana, when the temple expected massive footfall. Yet the report provides no answers about entry-exit gate staffing or police presence. Relatives of the victims argue that the document serves as a paper shield rather than a pathway to accountability.
