HARDWAR, India: Hindu pilgrims charged through a bamboo police barricade at dawn Monday in a rush to bathe in the sacred Ganges River, and authorities said 47 people were trampled to death and 39 others injured. The stampede came as millions of pilgrims made their way to the river near the end of the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years.
