New Delhi, Sep 10 - A distraught Shamshari was wailing inconsolably over the 'biggest tragedy' after losing her 12-year-old daughter Afroz in a school stampede here Thursday that also claimed four more lives.
'My daughter was fasting for Ramazan. She will never get to break her fast now,' Shamshari said before she fainted.
She was not the only one grieving. Many worried parents and relatives gathered at the Government Senior Secondary School in northeast Delhi after the news broke that a stampede in the water-logged school had turned into a tragedy.
However, a large number of policemen were guarding the school premises after the tragedy and the parents were not allowed inside.
Shamshari regained consciousness and a look at the site of stampede brought her to the world.
'Afroz didn't even have a sehri (pre-dawn food) before starting fast.
