00:00The latest update is that 121 people have died in this incident from the information provided by the police.
00:10So many bodies have been recovered.
00:13They have been handed over to the people.
00:15And there are 19 bodies which we are trying to identify.
00:21Sir, the video and the visuals that we have seen,
00:25that the woman has become a disabled,
00:27that she has a head injury,
00:29what is the reason behind this?
00:31What are the questions that have been raised?
00:34The information that we have received so far,
00:36the injured women,
00:38we have spoken to them.
00:40We have spoken to the other witnesses.
00:42We have come to know that the incident had ended.
00:47And people were leaving from there.
00:49And the people there,
00:52they made some arrangements.
00:54And stopped people.
00:56There was a possibility of a way out.
00:58And there was also an information pit there,
01:00which I am trying to identify.
01:02And there, one by one,
01:04men and women kept falling.
01:06And by pressing on each other,
01:08they suffocated.
01:10Or they were injured.
01:12And because of this, the incident is still happening.
01:15In this, the Chief Minister has ordered a investigation committee.
01:20In the ADG Zone, in the Adhyakshita of Agra.
01:22And at the same time, an FIR has been filed at Sikandar Rao Police Station.
01:25A criminal investigation has also started.
01:27And from the administrative point of view,
01:30what is the mistake,
01:31to investigate this,
01:33this investigation committee has been made.
01:34In this, I would like to assure you completely,
01:36the one who is at fault,
01:38a legal action will be taken against him.
01:40The one who is at fault,
01:42a legal action will be taken against him.
01:47There is no question of sparing anyone.
01:49But it takes some time to investigate.
01:52The investigation has started.
01:53And now, in the first 24 hours,
01:55our challenge is that
01:56we should be able to provide the right treatment to the injured,
01:58which we have provided.
01:59The families of the dead should not be allowed to rest in peace.
02:03At their homes,
02:04the government should make arrangements for intervention.
02:07And there are 19 such bodies,
02:09which we are trying to identify.
02:11I hope that
02:12in the next 4-5 hours,
02:13we will be able to identify them.
02:14The police officers,
02:15especially our women,
02:16they bravely tried to deal with this serious incident.
02:20Some of the women have also been injured.
02:23We have also arranged for their treatment.
02:25There is nothing serious in it.
02:27But, you are right.
02:29And that is why,
02:30in the ADG Zone,
02:31in Agra,
02:32a committee has been made,
02:33which is investigating,
02:35which agency,
02:36which agency,
02:37is at fault for this incident.
02:38There must be someone at fault,
02:40because this is a very serious incident.
02:41Who is at fault?
02:42How much punishment should be given?
02:43The Chief Minister has asked for an investigation immediately.
02:47I hope that this investigation will be completed today
02:49and a decision will be taken and an investigation will be carried out.
02:51This is not a political issue at all.
02:53I agree that such an incident should not take place.
02:55In this,
02:56the first responders will be at fault.
02:59But,
03:00administration,
03:01police,
03:02fire,
03:03ambulance,
03:04what were their arrangements?
03:05What should have been done?
03:06How many arrangements were made?
03:07How many were there at the time?
03:08They were not there.
03:09This is a political issue
03:10and an investigation has been started for this.
03:11But,
03:12I would like to assure you that
03:13in the form of administration,
03:14in the form of criminal responsibility,
03:16whoever is at fault,
03:18a strict legal action will be taken against them.
03:21There is no question of saving anyone.
