Twelve Shia mourners have been injured in the old city area of the Uttar Pradesh capital when a stray bull ran amok and tore into a procession taken out to mark the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali, peace be upon him, on the 21st day of Ramadan.

An ambulance was called and the injured mourners shifted to KGMU Trauma Centre. Three with critical injuries were hospitalized while others released after first aid. 

People in the area have blamed the district administration for not making adequate arrangements like barricading to check stray animals or secure the route for the iconic procession, which marked the 150th year of Lucknow’s legacy.
