At least 10 people are feared dead and dozens injured after a stampede occurred at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj on January 29, 2025. Thousands had gathered for the second Shahi Snan during Mauni Amavasya when barriers broke, triggering the chaos. Authorities rushed ambulances, and several injured individuals were sent to a makeshift hospital. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are monitoring the situation. Despite earlier cancellations, the Amrit Snan proceeded after the crowd thinned. Authorities urged devotees to avoid the Sangam and adhere to crowd control measures.
