Six devotees were killed and about 70 injured in a stampede that occurred in the early hours of Saturday during the annual Sree Lairai Devi temple festival in Shirgao village in north Goa.
In the aftermath of the tragic death of six devotees in a stampede, the Goa health department has announced the phase-wise implementation of a “code red” system in hospitals to ensure swift response to emergencies.
State Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said on Sunday that the code red protocol will be implemented in the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and later in district hospitals and the Super Speciality Hospital.
After visiting the injured devotees at GMCH, Mr Rane said two to three patients are in critical condition. While two among them have responded positively to treatment, close monitoring is needed.
