Odisha Govt Orders Action Against 7 Police Officers Over Puri Stampede

Imagine a big religious parade called Rath Yatra in India.

Sadly, during this parade, too many people tried to get close to the religious carts all at once, causing a terrible accident called a stampede.

Three people lost their lives, and many others got hurt.

The government investigated why this happened and found that some police officers who were supposed to keep everyone safe didn't do their jobs properly.

Two of the main officers in charge weren't even there when the accident happened.

Because of these mistakes, the government has decided to take action against these officers and also a company that might have been involved.

They want to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
