Why in news
A stampede occurred at the Maha Kumbh Mela, resulting in 30 deaths and 60 injuries.
The incident took place between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on the day of Mauni Amavasya, a key day for bathing at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati.
Authorities launched rescue operations, cleared the crowd, and the situation was declared under control.
A judicial inquiry, led by Justice Harsh Kumar, will investigate the incident and recommend preventive measures.
Following the stampede, traffic in nearby districts was restricted, causing major jams and delays.
