Two days after a deadly stampede near the Sangam in Prayagraj during the Maha Kumbh, police are investigating reports of a second incident in the Jhusi area. While 30 people have been confirmed dead, with 60 injured, there were claims of another stampede-like situation. DIG Kumbh, Vaibhav Krishna, assured that the footage from cameras installed at the site would be examined. Locals reported chaos at the Sector 21 crossing, with overcrowding exacerbating the situation. The UP government has announced ₹25 lakh ex-gratia for the families of the deceased.
