During the chaos and protests by women, the stage suddenly collapsed, which injured several women, who came there with their daughters to take part in the 'Selfie with Daughter' programme, organised by Madadgar Pariwar, an NGO run by vice president of Gujarat BJP's Yuva Morcha Prakash Gurjar.
According to Gurjar, he had been planning to organise the event for the last one month and roped in several schools and local women residents to set a world record of maximum selfies of mothers and daughters taken at one place.
The event was organised at a hall in Bapunagar area of eastern part of city, where these participants were supposed to gather at 1 PM.
"We did not expect that such a large number of participants would turn up, which has led to chaos. Thus, I have decided to cancel today's program," Gurjar told reporters after making an announcement on the same from stage at around 1.30 PM, when the program was supposed to start with lighting of lamp.
According to the women, they were promised earlier that a gift will be given to them along with a form to avail various government benefits, such as Jan Dhan Yojna and widow pension.
When almost 100 such women were present on the stage, it could not bear the weight and suddenly collapsed. Though some women received minor injuries, the mishap left no one severely injured.
The collapse further fuelled anger among women, who claimed that they were cheated by the organisers.
