At this moment when the blame game is on..one can blame Azam khan..the person in charge of the kumbh mela or one can blame the Railways..but what i feel is the only thing to be blamed is the "Indian Preparedness". I dont understand why the whole Indian mechanism fails when it comes to organising things..be it the present Kumbh mela or be it the CWG games, everywhere it has been an utter failure. Now is it due to lack of oversight, foresight or learning from experience is the big question..
In my view the biggest culprit is the state govt. This incident reflects the attitude of the govt. towards tackling the responsibilities. It clearly shows that the govt. is not focusing on managing these large events that could eventually prove its efficiency. Mr. Azam is rather trying really hard to come out of this controversy asap.. Its ridiculous.

Prtk its right that we lack in preparedness but point put by sakshi is one of the main reasons for lack in preparedness. If UP govt. was willing to make arrangement that are fool proof and not event like stampede would not take place.
I am currently resident at Nashik where KHUMB mela will be schedule to organized in 2015 but its preparations are already started by local Municipal Corporation, police department, corporates i.e. companies around nashik. They all started planning and send many of their representatives to Allahabad Kumbh mela to see any hazard.
We get an opportunity to have discussion with CP of Mr. Kulwant Kumar Sarangal @ SIOM to know about the preparation level of police department. He told us that training sessions are going on to his department workforces to handle different situation that may occur during Mela.

ofcourse Siddharth...thats what i am pointing out to..as i said we lack in 'preparedness' and whose responsibility is that????..the respective State government's and the Central's as well in specific cases..and with all due respect to Sakshi's views i feel that the blame cant be fully put on the state government's head as the bridge that collapse is a Railway infrastructure..and as a matter of fact Railways comes under the union list..hence all responsibilities of the former is to be borne by the Central govt. as dictated by our constitutuion.
Absolutely Sid that's what I was trying to point out that the govt. should try to organize these events to the very best and should make preparations in advance and can prove its capability. By this it can improve its performance levels and can present itself differently and uniquely.
But in today's scenario things are completely different and everyone is working on vote bank politics.
In fact the politicians hardly care about us.. so called 'mango people' as far they don't belong to their family

Interesting to see, how these accidents can relate to Managerial learning.
While I agree to Prtk's point of 'Lack of Preparedness', I think there's an other culprit too. I think in Indian DNA of management (whether corporate or government) there's a sheer lack of 'autonomy' at work. We like OLD so much, that we hardly ever think NEW.
There's a generally accepted myth with most Indian managers that, 'Everyone working under me is incapable' or atleast "Not as capable as I am". With these beliefs, managers start expecting subordinates down the hierarchy to 'work like donkeys', 'do as said even if they don't believe in what they're doing'. On the flip side and as a consequence, subordinates give up and start abiding by the orders to save their jobs. Thereby, enforcing the organizations to work like a MACHINE. Period. Any unaccounted incident occurrs, and BANG!!!!! Incidents like 'The Allahabad Tragedy' occurs.
SOLUTION:
Traditional management doesn't work. With the new century, population has evolved, number of interested people have evolved, people have become smarter and more impatient. It calls for more than a traditional management can handle. The only solution is to change.
1. adopt modern technologies that will allow effective crowd management, quicker response teams and the entire process of disaster management.
2. Proactively engage with subordinates and end-users to receive and integrate their feedback that will empower managers with a better perspective of the situations.

Oh.. and did I mention.. Corruption plays a huge factor here tooo.????
