Lucknow/Meerut, July 28 -- Five of the eight people killed in the Mansa Devi temple stampede in Uttarakhand's Haridwar on Sunday belonged to Uttar Pradesh. The victims from UP were identified as Aarush (12), Vishal (19), Ram Bharose (65), Vicky Saini (18) and Vakil Shanti Devi. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed his condolences to the victims' families. He announced that the UP government will give Rs 2 lakh aid each to the families of each of the UP victims. The Uttar Pradesh chief minister instructed the officers concerned to coordinate with the Uttarakhand government to bring back the bodies of the victims to their homes. In his message on X, Adityanath said, "The loss of life in the unfortunate accident on the Sri Mansa Devi Temple road in Haridwar, Uttarakhand is extremely sad and heartbreaking...My condolences are with the bereaved families. I pray to Maa Mansa Devi to grant salvation to the departed souls, strength to the bereaved families to bear this immense sorrow and speedy recovery to the injured. Om Shanti!." Vicky Saini from Rampur's Bilaspur was among those who died in the stampede. His elder brother Sachin sustained injuries. Vicky was pursuing his second year of graduation at Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Government College in Kuakhera. On Saturday night, he and Sachin set out for Haridwar on a motorcycle to fetch Ganga water as part of the Kanwar Yatra. After reaching Haridwar in the early hours of Sunday, the brothers took a dip in the Ganga and went to offer prasad at the Mansa Devi temple. While exiting the temple premises, there was a stampede-like situation following rumours that an overhead electric wire suddenly snapped and electrocuted several devotees. Vicky suffered severe injuries in the incident. Teams from the police, NDRF (National Disaster Response Force), and local administration launched a rescue operation and transported the injured to a nearby hospital. Vicky succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The victim's family left immediately for Haridwar. According to Savita Devi, the village head of Majhra, Vicky was the youngest of four siblings. His father, Tikaram Saini, works as an accountant at a cement shop. The family is also concerned about Vicky's mother, Shakuntala Devi, who is unwell and has not yet been informed about her son's death. Rajendra Singh, uncle of the deceased, said Vicky had left home the previous night to collect 'Daak Kanwar'. "He bathed in the Ganga and offered prasad at Mansa Devi temple. The accident occurred as he was returning. We appeal to the government to support the grieving family," he added....
