CHANDIGARH, India, Aug 3 (Reuters) - The death toll in a stampede at a temple in northern India on Sunday rose to at least 123 people, police said.

Iron railings leading to a Hindu temple in the state of Himachal Pradesh broke, causing the stampede, senior police officers said.

"As off now we have 123 people dead, including more than 30 children," Daljit Singh Manhas, a senior police officer told Reuters by telephone. (Reporting by Geetinder Garewal; Editing by Bappa Majumdar)
