加尔各答杜尔加女神节踩踏死亡升至19人 暴雨突至人群在神像棚出口推挤跌倒
印度 Kolkata（加尔各答）杜尔加女神节（Durga Puja）踩踏事件死亡人数升至19人。事件发生在当地时间10月17日晚约7时40分，地点是 North Kolkata 的 Sarada Park 一处节日神像棚（pandal）出口，属 Girish Park 警局辖区；当天是为期多日的节日第七日（Saptami），现场人流密集。
据法新社报道，一场暴雨突至，人群在狭窄的出口与巷道争相避雨、推挤跌倒。一名现场高级警官对法新社表示，降雨时的一则广播引发人群骚动，人们推拉向前、倒地酿成踩踏。路透社首报至少17人死亡，死者包括13名女性和1名儿童；据新华社10月18日报道，死亡人数其后升至19人，另有25人受伤送往 Calcutta Medical College and Hospital 救治，其中1人危重，9具遗体已交还家属。
总理 Narendra Modi 对遇难者表示哀悼，并宣布由总理国家救济基金（PMNRF）向每名死者家属发放20万卢比、向伤者发放5万卢比。西孟加拉邦政府宣布向每名死者家属发放250万卢比并为一名家属提供政府工作，向伤者发放50万卢比并承担全部治疗费用。
邦政府已组建特别调查组（SIT）调查事件经过，涉事神像棚已经关闭。杜尔加女神节是西孟加拉邦规模最大的宗教节日，每年吸引数百万民众前往各处临时搭建的神像棚参拜。（GSM 据路透社、法新社与新华社报道）
Kolkata Durga Puja Stampede Death Toll Rises to 19 After Sudden Downpour Sparks Crush at Pandal Exit
The death toll from a stampede at a Durga Puja festival pandal in Kolkata, India, has risen to 19. The crush happened at about 7:40 p.m. local time on October 17 at the exit of a festival pandal at Sarada Park in North Kolkata, in the Girish Park police station area, on Saptami, the seventh day of the multi-day festival, when crowds were at their peak.
According to AFP, a sudden downpour sent crowds surging for shelter through the narrow exit and lanes, pushing and falling over one another. A senior police officer at the scene told AFP that an announcement made during the rainfall triggered a commotion as people pushed forward and fell. Reuters first reported at least 17 deaths, including 13 women and one child; Xinhua reported on October 18 that the toll had since risen to 19, with 25 people injured and taken to Calcutta Medical College and Hospital, one of them in critical condition, and nine bodies released to families.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences and announced payments from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund of 200,000 rupees to each bereaved family and 50,000 rupees to each injured person. The West Bengal government announced 2.5 million rupees per bereaved family plus a government job for one family member, 500,000 rupees for each injured person, and full coverage of treatment costs.
The state government has formed a Special Investigation Team to investigate, and the pandal has been closed. Durga Puja is West Bengal's largest religious festival, drawing millions of visitors to temporary pandals across the city each year. (GSM, from Reuters, AFP and Xinhua reports)
