Dasarath Rangasala tragedy
[edit | edit source]On 12 March 1988, at least 93 people were killed and 100 more injured in a stadium crush at Dasarath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu. The Tribhuvan Challenge Shield Cup match drew 30,000 fans. However, a storm broke over the city, bringing lightning, wind and hailstones.[2] Spectators rushed to the sheltered west stand, but police pushed them back. They turned towards the exits, and most of the deaths occurred as multiple gates were closed.
