A musical evening turned chaotic as crowd mismanagement led to injuries at Shreya Ghoshal’s Odisha concert.
According to eyewitnesses, the chaos began shortly after Shreya Ghoshal started performing one of her popular hits. The excitement among fans turned into uncontrollable crowd movement due to the lack of proper barricades and security arrangements. Attendees reported that several people began pushing forward to get a closer glimpse of the singer, causing a stampede-like situation.
During the commotion, one person sustained injuries and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital. Local authorities later confirmed that the injured individual was stable and receiving proper medical attention.
Organizers faced criticism for failing to control the crowd and not ensuring adequate safety measures despite the large turnout. Videos of the incident circulated on social media, raising concerns about event management standards at large public gatherings.
Shreya Ghoshal reportedly paused her performance after noticing the panic and urged the audience to stay calm. Fans appreciated her composed reaction, but many expressed disappointment over the lack of proper arrangements.
Authorities are now reviewing the event setup and security protocols to prevent similar incidents in future concerts across the state.
