The tragedy occurred on the inaugural day of the three-day National Invitational Pro-Kabaddi tournament being organised by the Dakhina Kannada Amateur Kabaddi Association.

Around 2,000 people had come to watch the match between two teams of which one had players from Dakshina Kannada. The viewers gallery was placed on three sides, while the fourth formed the stage. The match was being played in the centre.

Hundreds of spectators were seated on the gallery on the right side of the stage. Around 9 p.m. the gallery tilted towards the back. Those seated on the top row fell on the ground. Following this, the organisers switched off power and this led to tension.

Police Sub Inspector Satish and a team of policemen rushed to the spot and quickly arranged to shift a dozen injured persons to the A.J. Hospital and NMPT Hospital. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sanjeev Patil said that five persons suffered grievous injuries, including fracture.

The Panambur police said that the cause for the mishap is being investigated.

Among the teams scheduled taking part are ONGC Delhi, Air India Mumbai, Central Railways, Dena Bank, Maharashtra State Police, State Bank of Mysore, HAL, and High Tech from Chennai. Local teams such as Alva's College and Sporting Ullal have also taken part.

low quality materials used, really shame

shame mangalore. this organisers must face some serious action.

If the gallery collapses on first day then better to call of the tourney on first day itself to avoid a bigger tragedy. Organisers should be charged with attempt to murder for this carelessness.

Why do you organise such events if u cant handle it properly? God saved all of us. shameless people playing with our lives.
