A second stampede occurred at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, just hours after the first, leaving several dead. It happened at Jhusi, 2 km from Sangam Nose, at around 5:55 am on Wednesday. Eyewitnesses reported chaos as barriers broke, and people trampled over each other. Rescue efforts faced delays, and many elderly people were found dead in the rubble. Reports say the crowd was uncontrollable due to the large number of devotees gathered for Mauni Amavasya. Officials confirmed that the death toll of 30 includes victims from both stampede sites. The tragic event has raised concerns over crowd management.
