Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday wrote to South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and expressed deep anguish at the tragic loss of lives at the deadliest stampede in the country’s history which killed at least 153 people, including over 20 foreigners.
The stampede happened on Saturday night in a narrow downhill alley near Hamilton Hotel in the famous nightlife district in Seoul after tens of thousands of people visited the area for Halloween celebrations.
“PM @narendramodi in his letter to ROK President Yoon Suk Yeol @President_KR has expressed deep anguish at the tragic loss of lives at yesterday’s stampede incident in Seoul. He also conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the friends and families who lost their loved ones,” the Indian Embassy in South Korea tweeted on Sunday.
