More than 100 people, mostly women and children, died in a stampede at a religious event in northern India, likely exacerbated by oppressive heat. The temperature reached 90 degrees with 77% humidity, pushing the heat index past 110. The stampede occurred as attendees left due to stuffiness. Officials noted adequate space and proper permits but said people got stuck in sludge while rushing toward water. The event was led by a local Hindu preacher in an open-air venue with a tent for shade. 107 people were killed and 18 injured.
