There was a stampede in Hyderabad, Gymkhana Grounds where more than 30,000 cricket fans gathered for 3,000 offline tickets. However, it is is surprising as to why did the government which boasts about being Hi-Tech, allow the offline sales.
Fans just expect clean, fair and transparent sale of the tickets, which was denied to them. Fans who waited in queues patiently for over 8-10 hours had to return disappointed or injured.
At least seven persons, including police personnel, fire personnel and woman were injured in the incident.
