Karachi Eat Festival is the biggest food festival of the megacity for the last five years but this time the 10th edition of the festival turned into a ruckus. Shocking and harrowing visuals from the final day of the event were surfacing on social media which left people disturbed.
The three day-festival ended in chaos and mismanagement and bedlam. Eyewitnesses shared their traumatic experiences on social media recalling how some miscreants smashed over the barricades, entered the premises without tickets, fought with security personnel and ran amuck towards the stage.
Families and girls were harassed and gates were crashed. There were no security officials to control the situation and the unruly throng triggered stampede. People turned into uncivilized ghosts. Attendees also elaborated that women in the family section were harassed. Tents were dismantled and to deal with it, the management switched off all the lights which made the situation worse.
