A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is working to probe the Kolkata Durga Puja stampede, with a three-month deadline set for submitting its report. The team is led by a retired judge, who says the timeframe is tight.

According to multiple outlets, the state of Bengal forms the SIT and assigns it responsibility for identifying the cause and circumstances of the tragedy. The Hindu, India Today and Times of India all focus on the three-month reporting timeline. The Hindu adds that the SIT head describes the deadline as “too short,” while the other reports foreground the existence of the deadline and the probe’s target timeframe.

Overall, the coverage aligns on the key administrative decision: a six-member SIT (as described by India Today) is expected to deliver its findings within three months, reflecting the state’s push for a relatively prompt conclusion to the investigation.
