On February 15, 2025, a tragic stampede at New Delhi Railway Station resulted in at least 18 deaths and numerous injuries. The incident occurred as thousands of pilgrims attempted to board trains to the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. Authorities reported that an announcement regarding a platform change for two similarly named trains caused confusion among passengers, leading to overcrowding and panic on a footbridge. However, railway officials dispute this claim, suggesting that the crowd surge was due to the massive influx of passengers. An official inquiry has been initiated to determine the exact cause of the tragedy.
