India temple stampede in Jharkhand leaves 10 dead; 20 injured

At least 10 people have been killed and 20 injured in a stampede at a temple in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand. Pilgrims have been marking a Hindu religious festival in Deoghar town. A district official informed that the incident happened as pilgrims tried to make their way into the complex. Deadly stampedes are common during Indian religious festivals, which attract large crowds with few safety measures in place. The stampede at the Baidyanath Jyotirlinga temple began after pilgrims surged towards the shrine shortly after the doors opened early on Monday.
