More than one month has passed yet there are no findings on the stampede that took place in Vaishno Devi on January 1 which took lives of 12 people.
The status of the report is yet unknown which were supposed to be given by a three member committee formed by the government. Sinha had marked the probe to the panel, which had to submit the report within a week’s time. The panel had already missed the deadline as it ended on January 8.
Not only this, the Union government and the UT administration have kept quiet on the findings of a high-level investigation.
As per reports, during the Question Hour in Lok Sabha regarding the findings of investigation ordered over the incident, Minister of State, Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai said that a high level three-member panel headed by the Principal Secretary (Home), government of J&K has been constituted to ascertain the reasons behind the incident of Stampede in Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir, Jammu & Kashmir.
As per The Dispatch, nothing was informed about the findings of this probe panel which was constituted by the UT administration immediately after the incident.
