The extent of the Idukki stampede unfolded in the light of day. Scattered shoes and bags told a graphic story of fear, panic, pain and ultimately loss, as more than one lakh pilgrims scrambled over each other after a jeep lost control, and ran into them. 102 people were killed, while over 50 got injured. The incident took place seven kilometres away from the shrine on Friday night.
