Three dead in temple wall collapse during Chhath puja in Bihar village

While Samastipur District Magistrate confirmed death of two women devotees—62-year old Leela Devi and Bachchi Devi—in the wall collapse and announced ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakh each for their families, Hasanpur Block Development Officer (BDO) Dunialal Yadav said another devotee named Kokai Yadav (55) had also died after reaching home due to injuries received in the collapse. Samastipur DM Shashank Subhankar confirmed the third death but said he would find out if it was due to injuries from the wall collapse. 'I am on THE way to the spot to assess the entire situation leading to the tragic incident,' the DM said. The other two deaths in the state during the four-day long Chhath festival were reported from Aurangabad district on Saturday. News agency ANI said two minors - a boy and a girl- had died in a stampede in Suryanagari Dev area. The six-year-old boy belonged to Patna's Bihta and the eighteen-month-old girl was from Sahar in Bhojpur.
