While the whole of India gets ready to celebrate the Shiv Jayanti on Thursday, a stampede-like situation broke out during the celebrations at Shivneri Fort in the Pune district. The incident happened during the late hours of Wednesday, leaving several devotees injured.

The incident occurred near the Ambar Khana area of the fort as lakhs of devotees assembled at the historic birthplace of the Maratha warrior king to pay tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on his birth anniversary.
