"Deeply shocked at the loss of so many young lives due to the stampede in Seoul. Our condolences to the families of those who lost their dear ones," Jaishankar said in a tweet. "We stand in solidarity with the Republic of Korea during this difficult time," he said. The South Korean flag at the country's Embassy in Delhi flew at half-mast over horrific stampede in Seoul.
