While the organisers were unclear about the number of attendees and had estimated moderate participation, the crowd rose to about 5,000, severely affecting the public. The selected venue, Town Hall, was not suitable for such a large gathering, and if the venue had not had two gates, a stampede could have occurred, he said.Therefore, organisers should provide realistic estimates of expected attendees to enable the police to make appropriate logistics and security arrangements. They should also select suitable venues so that demonstrations are held at locations capable of safely accommodating the crowd.
