Odisha: Three dead, several injured as stampede breaks out during Jagannath Rath Yatra
At least three persons died and several were injured on Sunday morning after a stampede broke out near a temple in Odisha's Puri district during the Jagannath Rath Yatra festival, The Times of India reported. The stampede took place between 4 am and 5 am, when a large number of devotees had gathered near the Shree Gundicha Temple to see deities on their chariots that had arrived from the Jagannath Temple in Puri. Those who died have been identified as Premakanta Mohanty, Basanti Sahoo and Prabhati Das, the newspaper reported. The injured persons have been admitted to a nearby hospital. Six of them are critical, PTI quoted Puri District Collector Siddharth S Swain as saying. During the Rath Yatra, the sibling deities Balabhadra, Subhadra and Jagannath are carried in chariots from the Jagannath temple to the Gundicha temple located 2.6 kms away, where they stay for nine days. This year, the festival began on June 27 and will end on July 5. On Sunday morning, a large number of devotees had gathered at Saradha Bali near the Shree Gundicha Temple to see the deities. Witnesses said that the situation escalated when two trucks carrying wooden logs tried to enter the area amid the crowds, The Times of India reported. 'The narrow congregation site, combined with limited police presence and scattered palm-log ladders near the chariots, created hazardous conditions for devotees,' the newspaper quoted a witness, Chinmay Patra, as saying. State Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandran announced a high-level inquiry into the stampede and said that action would be taken against those who were found to have been negligent.

Thousands to descend on Glastonbury Festival as Worthy Farm opens its gates
Thousands of people will descend on Glastonbury In England as the famous music festival in Somerset opens its gates for 2025. Campers arriving at Worthy Farm can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain throughout the week with 'with sunny spells and scattered showers expected throughout the day' on Wednesday, according to forecasters. This year's event will see headline performances from British rock/pop band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her Marlay Park gig. Matty Healy of The 1975 (Lesley Martin/PA) One of the more controversial acts performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap who have been in the headlines recently after one of their members was charged with a terror offence in Britain. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said the group's performance at the festival, taking place on the West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday, is not 'appropriate' and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance. Kneecap's Liam Og O Hannaidh leaves Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, through a crowd of supporters after he appeared charged with a terrorism offence (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Performing in the coveted Sunday tea-time legends slot this year is Rod Stewart who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests. His performance is to come after the Maggie May singer postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. Organiser Emily Eavis has said the festival, which has capacity for 210,000 people, has sold 'a few thousand less tickets' this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding. In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast, Eavis outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is 'going full trees and green space' which is 'completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past'. Among the acts expected to draw large crowds this year is alternative pop star Charli XCX, who will perform songs from her genre-defining sixth studio album Brat. She is performing on Saturday night on the Other Stage, 15 minutes before the West Holts stage is graced by US rapper Doechii, another artist who has exploded in popularity in the last year. Charli XCX will play the Other Stage (Lucy North/PA) Other performers include Irish singer CMAT, Prada singer Raye, US musician Brandi Carlile, Nile Rodgers and Chic, hip-hop star Loyle Carner, US pop star Gracie Abrams, indie outfit Wet Leg, Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective, US rapper Denzel Curry, and rising star Lola Young. The line-up also features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. This year the BBC will provide live streams of the five main stages – Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. On Wednesday at 10pm the festival will open with a theatre and circus act set in the Pyramid Arena which will showcase acrobatic and circus performances, culminating in a fireworks display.
