Death toll from India stampede rises to at least 97, says official

Nearly 100 people have been crushed to death at a Hindu religious gathering in northern India, with many others injured, says a government official. A large crowd had gathered on Tuesday in a village in Uttar Pradesh state’s Hathras district, about 200km (125 miles) southeast of national capital New Delhi, for a sermon by a preacher but a fierce dust storm sparked panic as people were leaving.
