Many others who escaped the tragedy on Wednesday night complained about long waiting hours to get tickets for Vaikunta Dwara Darshanam to sudden opening of the gates that prompted the crowd to surge ahead.
Venkata Lakshmi told a vernacular news channel that six boys pulled her aside and gave some water to drink after the crowd surge led to the deadly stampede.
According to Lakshmi, people rushed forward and up to 10 people fell down where she was standing.
«Though I was raising a hue and cry that I was falling on the side, people were still rushing from behind and could not be controlled. I don't know if they were pushing ahead, but the men were uncontrollable. People were walking over devotees. I could not even breathe for a long time,» she said.
