Disasters await as public infrastructure is poorly built in Nepal

On January 28, singer Pramod Kharel was performing at the Dhankuta Festival at Dhankuta Stadium. As he was about to get on stage, things went ugly. A stampede at the entrance of the stadium injured around 30 people including a few critically. Fortunately, no one died.

A team of officials from the district administration office in Dhankuta investigated the incident and concluded the concert was attended by more people than expected and the capacity of the public infrastructure, resulting in the stampede.
