The main gate at the exhibition site was closed a short while ago and an announcement was made that people will not be admitted inside for at least half an hour as a result of overcrowding.
Several people had earlier complained that they could not leave the premises after entering as the exit was too small to facilitate the crowd looking to leave at the same time.
Witnesses told Daily Mirror online that people including children were getting stuck at the exit while trying to make their way out. There were also complaints of poor medical facilities in place for people who were fainting while getting stuck in the crowd.
