West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her condolences to the families of the people who died in Mumbai stampede and also prayed for speedy recovery of injured persons on Friday.

In a tweet, Bengal CM said “Saddened at the loss of lives in Mumbai. Prayers for the injured to recover. Condolences to the families who lost loved ones.”

At least 22 persons were killed in a stampede on a narrow railway foot-over bridge connecting the Parel-Elphinstone Road stations of Western Railway in Mumbai on Friday morning.

The cause of the stampede was not known, but eyewitnesses claimed that a sudden rumour of a suspected electrical short-circuit sparked off a panic.
