Etawah: Six people including a Zila Panchayat head were yesterday injured in a stampede at a Janata Durbar programme of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav at his ancestral village of Saifai here.
Additional SP Ram Kishan Yadav said a large crowd had gathered outside the PWD Guest House where the CM was holding the programme. The main gate had to be closed to keep the crowd away.
But when it was opened to allow a VIP car, people rushed inside causing the stampede, he said.
Six people, including Kannauj Zila Panchayat head Santosh Yadav, were injured in the melee. One person suffered a head injury.
Eyewitnesses said when the chief minister was meeting people and exchanging pleasantries with them, the crowd surged towards him and in the stampede-like situation some fell down and got hurt.
Some mediapersons covering the event were also injured, police said. All the injured people were rushed to a hospital in Saifai, they said.
