So sad to hear about this incident during a religious event. Thank God no one is in critical condition. The organizers should have checked the mandap structure properly. 🙏

This is why safety measures are so important at large gatherings! Hope everyone recovers soon. The hospital staff seems to be handling it well.

While the incident is unfortunate, I think the media should be more careful with headlines. "Several injured" sounds more serious than 16 non-critical head wounds. Accuracy matters.

Om Namah Shivaya! Praying for speedy recovery of all devotees. The mandap collapse could have been much worse - we're lucky there were no fatalities.
