A tragic stampede at New Delhi's railway station resulted in at least 15 deaths as many were waiting to board trains for the Maha Kumbh festival. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and local authorities expressed their condolences and initiated an investigation into the incident's causes. This disaster follows another recent stampede at the same festival, which killed at least 30 individuals, raising concerns over the safety protocols in place during large public gatherings in India, especially during religious events.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his distress over the stampede, stating, "My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured have a speedy recovery."
Delhi's caretaker chief minister, Atishi, confirmed that the bodies were taken to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narain Hospital following the tragic incident.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that an investigation has been initiated to determine the causes leading to the deadly stampede.
Last month, a similar tragedy occurred at the Maha Kumbh festival, which resulted in at least 30 fatalities as millions gathered at the site.
