More than 100 people have been killed in a crush at a religious gathering in northern India, officials have said.
The incident took place at a satsang (a Hindu religious event) in Hathras district in Uttar Pradesh state.
The victims, including a large number of women and some children, are still being identified.
Survivors have described how the disaster unfolded as they tried to leave the event in Mughalgarhi village.
A spokesperson for a senior police officer in Uttar Pradesh told the BBC it would "take hours to release the final tally", but confirmed at least 100 dead.
