Six people died in Mauritius in a fire that broke out during a Hindu pilgrimage.
Seven others were injured in the incident on Sunday, and were admitted to hospital for medical attention.
Police say a wooden and bamboo cart carrying effigies of deities caught fire after coming into contact with electric wires.
The pilgrims were walking to Grand Bassin lake, considered sacred by the island’s Hindu community, ahead of a religious festival on 8 March.
Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth conveyed his deep shock and condolences in the wake of the tragic incident.
This is not the first such occurrence; a similar tragedy unfolded last year in Mare-Longue, resulting in the loss of two lives.
of course like your web-site but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the reality however I will definitely come back again.
