How to save yourself in Stampede: We often do not escape the crowd, and for many reasons we have to be a part of it. It is not known when a Narmal crowd will turn into a stampede. What happened in the Mansa Devi temple of Haridwar is not the first time, even before such incidents have happened during Mahakumbh. Despite this, the negligence of the administration in mob management has again come again and again. On Sunday morning, due to a huge crowd and rumor of current, the Mansa Devi temple was stamped, in which 6 devotees died and more than 35 were injured. Chief Minister Dhami ordered a magistrate inquiry and PM Modi expressed condolences on the incident. But have you ever thought that in such a time how can we save ourselves safely or else let’s know.
1. Save oxygen
Avoid shouting or speaking loudly. Keep the breath under control, so that the body continues to get the necessary oxygen.
2. Adopt boxing position
Place both your hands in front of the chest like a boxer and keep the feet in a strong position. This protects the ribs and provides convenience in breathing.
3. Move towards the edge
Try to move slowly towards the edge to avoid the pressure of the crowd.
4. Cover yourself when falling
If you fall down, immediately lie down in a posture to save the lungs. Lying straight can be dangerous, because people can fall on you.
5. Stay away from the crowd
If possible, avoid congested places, especially in places like religious events and railway stations.
6. Identify exit routes
Before reaching any public place, identify exit gates and emergency routes.
7. Stay calm, don’t panic
Nervous in stampede may be dangerous. Stay calm and take thoughtfully.
Look for a safe place and stop there.
If you look at an injured, inform the administration or medical staff.
If there is difficulty in breathing, seek medical help immediately.
Every year many people in the country are victims of incidents like stampede. In such a situation, it is important that we not only demand better arrangements from the administration, but also be alert ourselves. Only your awareness can protect you and your loved ones.
