Several injured as over 1 lakh fans swarm Hariharan’s concert in Sri Lanka

Singer Hariharan’s concert in Sri Lanka’s Jaffna witnessed a mishap as more than 1 lakh fans attended the event. Reports suggest that overcrowding and poor management led to stampede like situation at the concert. Several people were reportedly injured as many tried to break the barriers and barge into the venue.

As per reports, over one lakh people were present at the venue and some of them rushed towards the stage after Tamannaah Bhatia’s performance. The chaos led to show being halted mid-way as the rowdy crowd approached stage.

Stars and the security personnel at the scene tried to pacify the situation but task force had to intervene as the crowd refused to budge. While the concertgoers blamed the organisers for the mishap, the organisers have denied any negligence. Actor Ramba’s husband Indra was the organiser of the event.

Originally scheduled in December, the said concert was postponed and then held at the Jaffna Courtyard Open Air Arena in Sri Lanka on Friday. Besides Hariharan, top superstars from South, Tamannah Bhatia, Ramba, Yogi Babu, Shweta Menon, Bala and Sandy Master delivered powerful performances.

The fateful evening has reminded many of the mishap that took place in Chennai during AR Rahman’s concert.
