5 Dead, Over 60 Injured As Makeshift Stage Collapses At Nirvana Laddu Parv In Baghpat
In Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district on Tuesday, a makeshift stage collapsed during the Nirvana Laddu Parv celebrations, causing chaos and panic. At least five people lost their lives, and over 60 others, including Jain disciples and police personnel, were injured in the stampede that followed the collapse, as reported by Hindustan Times.
Rescue Operations Underway

The collapse occurred during the ongoing celebrations dedicated to Bhagwan Adinath, the first Tirthankara in Jainism. The stampede triggered a frantic rescue operation as authorities scrambled to save those trapped under the wreckage.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath quickly took cognizance of the situation and directed local district authorities to provide immediate relief to the victims. He also wished for the speedy recovery of the injured.
Baghpat District Magistrate Asmita Lal and Superintendent of Police Arpit Vijayvargiya rushed to the district hospital to monitor the condition of the injured. DM Asmita Lal confirmed the death toll at five, with fears that two more people may have died, though this has not been officially confirmed, as per Hindustan Times report.
Victims and Their Condition
According to police reports, the makeshift stage, known locally as a "machaan," collapsed during the "Laddu Mahotsav" event in Baraut. While around 20 to 25 people suffered general injuries and received first aid, 2 to 3 individuals are in serious condition and being treated in nearby hospitals, as per media reports.
SP Arpit Vijayvargiya provided further details, stating that the stampede occurred when a large crowd rushed forward, causing several people to fall. Rescue operations continued into the morning as officials worked to bring those trapped to safety.
