A fire broke out at the ISKCON camp in Sector 18, Maha Kumbh Mela Kshetra, Prayagraj, on Friday. Fire tenders were immediately dispatched, and the blaze was fully contained, officials said. Thick smoke caused panic among devotees, and over a dozen nearby camps suffered damage. DIG Vaibhav Krishna confirmed that no casualties were reported. This marks the third fire incident in the Kumbh Mela area, following a major blaze last month. Authorities are investigating the cause. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath had earlier directed officials to enhance safety measures.
