The Iranian Embassy will keep a condolence book for two days beginning tomorrow at its premises to facilitate people to pay homage to those killed in the grisly stampede at Mina last week during Haj.

As per Saudi authorities 769 people died in the stampede while around 930 pilgrims sustained injuries. Those killed in the stampede included 45 Indians.

The stampede broke out on September 24 after two massive lines of pilgrims converged on each other from different directions at an intersection close to the five-storey Jamarat Bridge in Mina for symbolic stoning of the devil.
