The initiative, according to an officer, was put on hold shortly after the stampede.
The kits would be supplied to the beneficiaries’ homes who received tokens, according to TDP leaders.
There was a long line of women waiting to accept the gifts. The stampede was caused when some of the women broke through the line and attempted to advance quickly.
