In no time, both platforms became densely packed with people. At that moment, rumors began to spread that trains heading to Prayagraj were canceled. This sudden rumor sparked panic among the passengers.
As the panic escalated, people began pushing and shoving each other, trying to secure their way forward. In the ensuing stampede, many passengers fell to the ground, and around 15 people sustained injuries. Among the injured, it is reported that some individuals with respiratory issues are in critical condition.
Upon receiving information about the incident, railway police, local police, and other emergency personnel swiftly responded. They promptly began rescue operations and made efforts to control the situation. The timely response from the authorities prevented the situation from worsening further.
This tragic incident highlights the immense pressure on transportation services during major religious gatherings like the Kumbh Mela. Authorities are now taking further measures to manage the heavy influx of passengers and ensure such incidents do not recur in the coming days.
