The historic Bali Yatra festival wrapped up its 150th anniversary edition amid pandemonium on Thursday evening. A massive surge of enthusiastic fans gathered at the Bali Yatra Ground to catch Bollywood playback singer Shreya Ghoshal’s live performance, leading to a chaotic crowd crush that left at least two people unconscious.

The incident unfolded during the festival’s closing night at the Baishnav Pani Mancha stage, where heavy crowding resulted in intense pushing and shoving near the barricades. Eyewitnesses described a stampede-like situation as attendees jostled for better views of the renowned singer. Two individuals reportedly lost consciousness due to the overwhelming pressure from the crowd and were swiftly transported to a nearby medical facility via ambulance for treatment.
