Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today expressed grief over the death of a woman in a stampede in Ayodhya and announced a sum of Rs 2 lakh to her family as compensation.
The woman was killed and over a dozen people were injured in two incidents of stampede as lakhs of pilgrims thronged the holy city to take a dip in the Saryu on the occasion of Ram Navami.
Police, however, claimed that 65-year-old Dulari Devi died due to a heart attack.
A UP government spokesperson said that the chief minister has also ordered a probe into the death of the woman.
