Why in news
A stampede occurred at New Delhi Railway Station resulted in the deaths of 18 people and injuring 15 others.
The stampede was caused by confusion over two trains heading to Prayagraj: one was an express train and the other was a special train for Maha Kumbh pilgrims.
An announcement for the special Kumbh train caused passengers to rush from one platform to another, leading to overcrowding and a stampede
Both Railways and Delhi Police are investigating the incident, focusing on train announcements and platform management.
Authorities are increasing arrangements for high footfall situations and emphasizing discipline to prevent such incidents in the future.
