The injured, including two minor girls aged five and seven, were taken to hospital and reported stable, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said. Multiple agencies including BMC, fire brigade, police and ambulance service responded. The Times Now report noted the idol fell during the arrival ceremony.

Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same facts identically, with no discernible slant. Times Now leads with the time and the injured children, Rediff adds that the festival is weeks away. The coverage is uniform straight reporting from wire sources and official statements. A careful reader can trust the death toll, the location, and the names. The key unknown is why the idol fell, neither source investigates cause or assigns responsibility. Watch for police or BMC inquiry findings.
