Many people died tragically 34 years ago today at Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu. Of those who went to watch the football, 69 died. That Saturday of 1988 was the final game of the Tribhuvan Challenge Club Football Tournament.

During the final game between the club of Janakpur Cigarette Factory and the team of the liberation army of Bangladesh, the weather suddenly changed. At the time, the game had been played for 19 minutes.

The stadium was evacuated when it started raining and a whirlwind came from the north side of the stadium. The spectators tried to get out of the stadium to avoid it. At that time only one door was opened in the parapet, so people started trying to get out of there. As a result, 69 people were killed when the crowd increased and pressed on each other.
