As per news report of NDTV, in visuals, hundreds of women and teenage girls were seen without masks at the marathon in UP's Bareilly. The massive crowd of marathon participants - most without masks amid rising COVID-19 cases - filled an entire road. As they started the long run, a few women in the front tripped and fell to the ground, leading to a brief scare as more crowds from the rear pushed those in the front. The situation almost led to a stampede; no one was injured fortunately.
