Devotees and volunteers quickly rushed to help, rescuing those who were stuck. Among the injured were six members of a single family<\/strong>, including women and children. The injured were admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment, with four reported to be in serious condition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The deceased has been identified as Shyamlal Kaushal<\/strong>, who died on the spot due to a severe head injury caused by a falling iron pipe. His son-in-law, Rajesh<\/strong>, confirmed the loss and said that several other family members, including his wife Soumya<\/strong>, daughters Parul<\/strong> and Unnati<\/strong>, and neighbors Aryan<\/strong> and Kamla<\/strong>, were also hurt in the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The accident occurred amid preparations for the grand celebration of spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri\u2019s birthday<\/strong> on July 4<\/strong>, drawing thousands of followers from across India and even abroad.
