new delhi, india - Stampede at New Delhi Train Station following cancellation of two trains leaves 18 dead and many injured.

Trains Cancelled Leading to Stampede

Following the cancellation of two trains from New Delhi Train Station to Prayagraj, a stampede broke out among passengers resulting in 18 deaths and numerous injuries. Local authorities have dispatched multiple emergency response teams to the scene, with most casualties reported to be women and children.

Attempting to Reach Maha Kumbh Festival

The overcrowding at the train station was due to passengers rushing to attend the Maha Kumbh Festival, described as the world's largest religious gathering. Witnesses described the situation as unprecedented, with one stating, 'I have been working here since 1981, but I have never seen such a crowd before.'

Official Statements and Investigations

Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has ordered a high-level investigation into the causes of the incident. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep sorrow over the stampede and extended condolences to the families of the deceased. Delhi Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena announced the deployment of emergency response personnel and readiness of all hospitals to address the situation.

Previous Incident and Festival Background

This tragedy occurred during the first week of the Maha Kumbh Festival, which witnessed a similar stampede last year resulting in at least 30 fatalities. The festival, occurring every 12 years, is a significant event in Hindu tradition where millions gather to bathe in the sacred confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
