Three girls died while a dozen were injured during a concert of Atif Aslam at Al-Hamra Cultural Complex after a stampede broke. The concert was arranged by Punjab college. Reports suggest that more people were accommodated at the venue than it’s maximum capacity.
There are several reports about why the stampede broke but we’re unsure of the actual story yet. One of the reports suggests that the stampede was caused by the fake news of a bomb blast. Everyone rushed out to save their lives injuring others while another report suggests that it was due to the miss-management of the organisers when the girls tried to rush backstage to meet Aslam.
One of the attendees of the concert told us that management man handled the rushing crowd which made the situation worse.
Story is developing right now and we’ll keep you posted here as we hear more.
Update 1: Atif Aslam paid his condolences in the following words
“Today’s incident has left me in a state of shock and dismay. I am deeply saddened by what transpired after mondays concert. My deepest condolences to the victims and their families for the terrible loss that they have suffered and I pray that Allah will help them through this ordeal.”

height of stupidity! These stars are only to entertain our certain time for relaxing our moods; it’s stupidity to ruin your life after them. One can do far better job than wasting this precious life after these stars. I wonder our young generation take the lesson at least after this horrible incident .
What a Shame, Atif Aslam is too busy counting his Concert fees and doesnt give a heed to the audience. people were getting slammed and pushed at the pathetic gates of the building. People like Atif and Hall administration should be sued with “Life Threatining” and “killing” codes of pakistan.
He should have made the entrances smooth and exits fast to avoid any untoward incident. Pathetic, just pathetic
It ws a very bad nd sad news the death of three girls?i think so it happns of poor managmnt systm?may Allah bless on them…
ATIF ASLAM was there jst 2 entertain the audience n gave a pleasent tym during concert, i was too there it was not the mistake of ATIF as well of the mangement system, girlz were pushing one another in hurry 2 go first, nd this caused a panic there, which unfortunatly caused injuries nd deaths. MAY ALLAH BLESS THE INJURED GIRLZ WID HEALTH.
Muslims please wake up after certain death no one will ask you in grave that how many concerts did you attend and how much do you like atif aslam or any other singer. World is about to end young are dying before the old age person, Grab your religion tightly and leave all the singers as they are not the source to take you in heaven but your good deeds and your religion (ISLAM)…
May these girls R.i.p.its God will nobody can do anything in front of his will……….

atif aslam is a singer who is also goin2die 1 day..death can come at any time so why waste da little life dat we hve in goin2concerts…d girls dat died wer really young which shows anyone can die at any time,so ppl forgt about silly singers nd concerts infact try ur best2 please ur lord,which is d main reason u wer sent2 dis wrld.allah is goine question u about da way u spnt ur life NOT about hw u attended a certain concert..think about it ppl
May Almighty Allah forgive those innocent victims, heal those injured,pacify kins of those departed,Atif Aslam,n the organizers!Really we all love Atif n respect his motives.But as a person he can do some more to be aquainted with Allah’s instructions.first thing is to get married soon,n never it will hinder his career.The other thing i appeal is never visit any Dhurgas or tombs for prayer sake since Allah forbade seeking prayers to anyone besides Him.Not sure Atif does so the how so many do in India n Pakistan.This is not an advice in terms of any relegious sects,but as a reader of The Quran Atif may know that.And it is good to rid those wrist ties if it is a part of any faith,because all the youth imitate what Atif Aslam does.May Allah lead us upright.
