Police officials stated that local philanthropists and a Union Council (UC) chairman were distributing rations near a park in Madina Colony when a sudden rush led to chaos, causing several women to fall.

Two women were injured in the incident and were being rushed to Civil Hospital when one of them, aged between 20 and 25, succumbed to her injuries on the way. Her identity has not yet been confirmed.

Authorities confirmed that another injured woman is under treatment at the hospital. They also clarified that permission had been obtained for the distribution event and that the incident was accidental.

According to police, a large crowd, including women and children, had gathered even before the ration distribution began. As soon as the office gate was opened, a surge of people rushed inside, leading to the stampede.
