Yadav further emphasized the importance of preparedness, noting, “It was the responsibility of both the government and the administration to ensure safety measures were in place. An ambulance should have been present at the site.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already directed officials to promptly reach the location and oversee relief efforts. As the state grapples with the aftermath of the Hathras Stampede, calls for accountability and improved safety protocols at large gatherings are growing louder.
