Navratri Pass Distribution Leads to Chaos in Vadodara
In Vadodara, India, a big crowd showed up to get their passes for the Navratri festival.
The company in charge of giving out the passes couldn't deliver about 5,000-6,000 passes.
Because people needed to pick up these passes in person, everyone rushed to the office at once, causing a lot of pushing and shoving.
A glass door got broken, and a few people got hurt a little bit.
The organizers then decided people could get in by showing a code on their phones instead.
Chaos occurred during the distribution of Navratri passes in Vadodara.
The event was the United Navratri Mahotsav.
An outsourced agency was managing the pass distribution.
Delivery of approximately 5,000-6,000 passes was delayed.
The agency switched to QR code entry after the incident.
