Dozens of worshippers killed in stampede at world's largest religious festival in India
At least 30 people were killed and many more injured in a crush at a huge religious festival in northern India's Uttar Pradesh state on Wednesday, local police said. The stampede appears to have happened when people who were sleeping on the riverbank were trampled by worshippers trying to bathe in the holy waters.
