Kolkata: Justice Anindita Roy Saraswati (retired), who heads a special investigation team investigating the Durga Puja stampede in Kolkata, said on Thursday that three months was too short to submit the report, but the team would strive to meet the deadline.
The October 17 stampede at the Chorbagan Durga Puja pandal in north Kolkata led to 19 deaths and left 25 people injured. The six-member special investigation team (SIT) has been constituted in consultation with the Calcutta High Court to probe the cause of the incident and recommend measures to prevent such incidents in future.
