A tragic stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh, India, has left at least seven people dead and ten others injured as thousands gathered for a sacred ritual in Prayagraj.
The incident occurred as massive crowds assembled at the festival, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, where millions take part in ritual baths in the holy rivers. Authorities report that the chaos broke out unexpectedly, triggering a deadly rush that led to multiple casualties.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, with ambulances transporting the injured to nearby hospitals. Security forces worked to restore order as officials launched an investigation into the cause of the stampede.
Local authorities have yet to confirm what led to the disaster, though overcrowding and panic are often key factors in such incidents at large religious events. The government has deployed additional security personnel to manage the situation and prevent further unrest.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, held every twelve years, draws millions of devotees seeking spiritual purification. This year’s event, marked by tragedy, has raised concerns about crowd control and festival safety measures. Officials are expected to review security protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
