There are some hard lessons from the recent Kochi tragedy where four students lost their lives in a stampede. There is some light at the end of that tunnel though with the news that two students who were critically injured in the stampede at Cochin University’s annual tech festival are now in a stable condition.

To give some context,  Four people were killed and 60 were injured in the stampede that occurred before a singer Nikita Gandhi was to perform at a musical festival at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). Apparently, sudden heavy rain caused some students standing outside to rush into the auditorium. The crush became unbearable and some young people fell down, with several trampling on them.
