Here's how to stay away from mob crush.
There are a few things you may do to lessen your chances of getting caught in a crowd crush. First, according to PTI, plan your route in advance by steering clear of locations that are anticipated to see significant traffic. To aid with crowd distribution, local authorities frequently create crowd management strategies, such as various celebration locations. In order to avoid the crowds heading for public transportation, try to postpone your departure until after the fireworks show. Keep an eye out for overcrowding indicators, such as sluggish or stopped movement, and, if need, relocate to less congested locations.
Keep an eye out for signs of anxiety from others around you and assist in communicating important information, including telling the throng to calm down. If you or the person you are with has trouble moving about, is shorter, or has crowd phobia, you should be extra cautious.
