On February 15, a stampede occurred at New Delhi Railway Station, and investigations are ongoing. According to a preliminary report from Delhi Police, the incident was caused by overcrowding and the failure to manage the crowd effectively. The report highlights that confusion arose due to unclear train announcements, leading passengers to panic and rush toward the trains. Additionally, the increased number of passengers during the weekend contributed to the chaos. Special arrangements for crowd management were not implemented, exacerbating the situation. Multiple agencies are investigating the incident to uncover the root causes of the stampede. The investigation is focused on understanding the administrative failures that led to the tragedy. For many pilgrims traveling to Prayagraj, the train was the only means of transportation, making the crowd even larger and more difficult to control. The authorities are working to determine the exact reason behind the tragic incident and ensure accountability.
