Accidents caused by stampedes can be termed entirely as a ‘man-made disaster’. But there are organizers, experts, and law enforcers in Kerala who manage the traffic with ease. They say: What can be done to prevent stampede deaths?
There were certain arrangements that had to be made in an auditorium where such a large number of people were expected at CUSAT. Why are they critical to survival?
The grief of the student who came to see the bodies of three people who died in a stampede at the CUSAT Techfest was brought to the Kalamassery CUSAT campus for public viewing. The Comos bus accident that rocked Kerala took place on March 30, 1979. 46 people lost their lives in the accident. Many people who were still breathing were rescued from among the bodies lying on the floor when the bus was demolished. How could the relatively minor accident of a car passing without hitting a passerby and crashing into the opposite wall cost so many lives? The answer can be found by looking at the number of passengers on a typical bus; 156 people. A group of passengers fell on top of the bus when it crashed in the accident. In that panic to escape, the stampede led to the worst bus accident Kerala has ever seen. The latest in the series was the accident that claimed the lives of four youths at CUSAT. Unlike other disasters, these disasters can be called completely ‘man-made disasters’. These are tragedies that could have been completely avoided if attention had been paid to regulations, compliance, and planning. A huge crowd is forming in places of worship, tourist centers, and celebrations in Kerala due to Kovidinipuram. Therefore, the state has a lot to pay attention to in this regard. There are organizers, experts, and law enforcers in Kerala who manage the traffic with ease. They say: What can be done to prevent stampede deaths?
The ‘bottle neck’ opening with such a large number of people at CUSAT has raised critical questions about public safety and crowd management. This tragic event highlights the importance of effective crowd control measures to prevent similarly devastating consequences in the future. The disaster at CUSAT has resulted in a call to action for both organizers and law enforcers to ensure the safety of event attendees. The issue of crowd management has been thrust into the spotlight, prompting discussions about preventative measures and adequate safety protocols.
